Maintaining Privacy

So I received some infringement letters from Comcast today. Is this something I should worry about?

I have no idea how someone might protect themselves from this if they go where the pirates go. I have never seen this happen before and it worries me.

Sorry if this isnt the right place for this post, didnt know exactly where to post it.

Get a vpn and only download from behind it.

Thanks, very unaware of all of this - will look into it now.

I've found that most infringement letters, whoever they are from, are usually a pile of crap. I've gotten many many letters/notices of copyright infringement from downloading things, probably a hundred by now, over years and years, and I always ignore them, and nothing has ever happened. 99.99% of them are meaningless, but if you really are worried, do what politux said and get yourself a vpn.

And many of them listed things that I 'downloaded', and at least 1/2 of the stuff I supposedly downloaded, I actually hadn't, so that just goes to show that they send them out with no real intent, and they are meaningless.

Agreed.

I got "caught" downloading Harry Potter for God's sakes.

Ten years in solitary and your first born is sold into slavery. Sorry.
