Yes received one when I was with Xnet and it was something I had half downloaded on bit torrent but then cancelled it so I had never actually received the entire file. I was pretty angry at the guilt upon accusation so I found another ISP.

Do you think you have to download the entire file to be in breach of copyright?

How is having part of a file which is essentially a useless piece of data breaching copyright?

1080p: Another interesting question;

What about services like Tomizone? http://www.tomizone.com/

Imagine the furore when someone is hauled into the Copyright Tribunal for downloading a pirated song downloaded by one of their customers.

They're specifically excempted.

Kaos36: What happens if you don't use Torrents to grab the movie. I never use to use torrents its far to popular those sites are screaming for attention, its probably full of movie police checking every file uploaded. So if they just check torrents then this copyright bill is a waste of time. I could name 20 other sites that use a different method. Hahaha all you torrent down loaders game over man! Suckers!

Seriously Ive gone back to waiting for the movie to come out on dvd. And you know what even though Im spending money where I know I could just download it, it feels great that Im contributing to the fat rich movie moguls and maybe helping out the video store owner make a living
But its weird you and I know they are available online to dl. Still its the right thing to do.

Asmodeus: All this means to me is to check your anonymity skillz are up to par

This may involve using IP blockers, proxies and non-torrent sites but that's OK
