I got a certified letter years ago from some law office in California saying I was being sued for illegally downloading "Meet The Parents". My ISP at the time was SBC and it seems they don't care about giving away your personal information so I got rid of them real soon afterwards.

There were over 100 "john doe's" represented in the case who had all downloaded various movies belonging to the Disney company. Personally I think they just sent it out to everyone trying to see who would be foolish enough to pay them and I am sure some did. I just ignored the package it, threw it away and haven't heard a **** thing since.

Funny thing was, I wasn't even trying to get "Meet The Parents" I was trying to download a **** and it was mislabeled. How could I be sued for downloading something when I didnt even realize what it was until after I got it? Even so I already owned "Meet The Parents" on DVD so I just deleted it anyway

Truth is they have no idea that you dont legally own those songs. You could go to the music store and buy those cd's right now(obviously pay with cash and "lose" the receipt showing the date) and have proof that you own the originals when you show up in court.

However the way they try to screw you is to say you were uploading them to people who dont legally own them and that is how you broke the law.

BTW, I sold that movie(and ALL my Disney movies) and have continued to dispise Disney for their efforts to try to **** me into paying them money for something I didnt do

there are several ways to get out of paying the monies, unfortunately all of them involve paying a lawyer even more than it would take to settle with the RIAA.

you = total pwnage.

Meet The Parents is a Universal Studios film, not Disney.

well the lawsuit was from disney so i dunno then

basically i am saying dont worry about it and just throw it away

unless it showed up certified and you needed to sign for it they have no proof you received it

if they are really after you they will send it certified with signature required, until that happens move on with your life

also i would suggest refusing to sign for any random envelopes for a few years

see now that $12 you saved by stealing music on the interwebs will cost your momma $4k.

PeerGuardian does nothing for you. The only way to be safe is to not engage in illegal activities.
