I read on BBC.co.uk that 80% of people who get letters / warnings from their ISP about downloading will stop. Could be to stop people... |

Never EVER admit it. NEVER.
You will get these letters sooner or later, but without solid proof, your ISP can do nothing. Just ignore it and move on. |

It was an official letter with examples of the stuff i've downloaded, and a statement by BPI (some copyright company) so can hardly ignore it :/ |

they will cut your service and in severe cases ban you from broadband access completely from other providers if you don't stop so not something to be treated lightly (if you receive a letter). |

Scare tactics BUT.
Move ISP, i don't want people examining what i do on the internet.
Hmm they might start to throttle your connection, a 'black' list if you may. |

90% of people who have read this will be frantically deleting porn for at least the next 24 hours. |

they can prove everything, you can move isp but they will soon have the same things enforced on them by the BPI im sure your connection may be throttled now but if you keep on downloading your line can be terminated and you will still need to pay your bill for the remainder of your contract + you get blacklisted and you wont be allowed a broadband service from any ISP. |

Pff, the letters don't get sent unless there's solid proof. Here's so you know...
- BPI gets an IP address of the offender.
- BPI compares this IP address with the pools that each ISP manages in the UK.
- BPI writes to whichever ISP the IP address belongs to, and tells them that their customer has been downloading illegally and by law asks them to stop blah blah.
- ISP checks their pool and matches up whoever had the IP address on the date in question provided by the BPI.
- ISP send out a letter/email to the customer about it, basically a cease and desist.
The best (and probably only) thing you can do would be to start using Peer Guardian if you want to keep up your illegals, since the BPI will only start dicking on you harder and harder with all these stupid anti-piracy laws coming in. |

Jus dont use public trackers n anything that's not encrypted either. Dunno bout how serious it is cause atleast here the police sends out emails but they don't really lead to anything unless you've seriously uploaded like 50 terabytes or smth :p |
