Right... In other words, you were an unlucky person who happened to have their IP spotted in a swarm, got sent a nasty sounding settlement letter, and actually responded to it.

That doesn't mean every John Cash swarm is being monitored, or even that the same swarm is still being monitored. And it doesn't mean every IP spotted will actually face some kind of action.

So while it is unfortunate for you, let's not be starting any nasty rumors. Take some time to learn how the process actually works, and you'll be better prepared if it ever happens again.



And since we aren't actually discussing music, this thread is better suited elsewhere.

From time to time, a copyright troll appears in our beloved forum, trying to scare noobs.
It's always the same:
"Hi pirates!. I'm a pirate too, like you. I really believe in all the things you believe, but, what if the police come knocking to my door? I don't want to go to jail! (I'm way too pretty)"
Then I just say: FILESHARING IS LEGAL!
And their copyright troll heads just explode.

FATALITY!
