ISP Copyright infringement warning email

Hmm I'd say that discussion of torrenting is in itself not a forbidden subject or something criminal. There's a lot of legal software on torrent sites nowadays.

I have to admit I get annoyed when large downloads are not on torrents..... but at least with fibre there is less risk of corrupted downloads these days.

Yeah I'm not going to e-mail Jaapie for a R150 Windows 11 key.

That's 5 quarts of Black Label beer right there.

When the Telkom guys came to activate my Openserve Fibre, they advised me to download from Piratebay.party since it has the most seeds and peers on their files.

I was like wtf, they were like heh heh, do you have some cooldrink for us?

I have never had hassles from Telkom. Since way back from ISDN days. Same as a cellphone service provider. Just no hassles really. Plenty with MTN, Vodacom and MWEB (including a few others).
I think Telkom acts like this when they get piracy complaints.....

You guys are very gullible. This is the only account I have now, I had one in 2012 until a few years ago, but then I forgot my password and when I tried to reset the password on MyBB I had to use my email address which I signed up with but that didn't work because my ISP at that time had shut down. So I started this new account

Sounds believable. But as you say, we're gullible.. :X3:
 
Just tell em to come fight you 1v1 in Brakpan and if they win you will stop torrenting and if you win they need to pay for your VPN

Something like this comes to mind when I saw their name...
 
Anyone remember peerblock? I remember running that waaaaaaaay back in the days of ADSL openweb gold to try and avoid these type of mails.

@UB40 , quite a bit of source material is offered free in places. Who's to say that wasn't then placed on a torrent site?

At best you could argue geo-location, but so far it doesn't end up in court.
Unless you have a link that suggests otherwise?

Still, better to be on the side of caution, agree with that.

Erm…then the owner of said copyrighted material wouldn’t be sending emails now would they?

They're a public retail business? Their name can be mentioned anywhere. If they're dumb they're dumb.

Most ISPs just throw it out, now that some idiot knows this ISP is listening they gonna be sending even more of them lol.

I worked at an ISP long ago and they literaally had a spam rule setup to ignore mail from these people. They're just 3rd party trolls charging millions of dollars to the film companies claiming stop piracy and all they're simply doing is joining as seeders to share parts of the movie/series downloads then looking up the IP address owners of the people peering with them and reporting it.

As others have shown, a VPN and/or other protection can make it go away.

Mweb and Internet Solutions used to take them quite seriously.

Must be pressure from Naspers by proxy.

They may be making presumptions about source, and even if it was from a free origin they would be against breaking their geo-location rules. Not that those rules are enforceable, so far
