You guys remember the good ol days we used to get love letters from Isp's for downloading certain content?

Does anyone still get those and if ýou did, did an isp ever threaten to close your account?
 
Yes, 4 years back +\-.

It isn’t the ISPs that send those letters, it is overseas privacy lawyer companies that send the letter to ISP, and they relay it to you.

All the letter ask of the ISP is to communicate with end user and ask them not to-do it, and then the ISP can reply on that letter that action has been taken.
 
yea i know it wasnt the isp, just weird how it all kinda grind to a hold! only ever got 1 or 2 of them at most, mostly was MWEB back in the day
 
Maybe they send it to the isp assigned email that no-one uses.
 
Mostly only IS that actually forwarded those letters. Telkom just did not care or their abuse mailbox was just a fake email.
 
I only once ever got a warning for torrenting. I was in University at the time circa 2016. The first time was just a warning but they take disciplinary action if you repeat the offence.

The key for the first time is to more or less admit you did it and then say you won't do it again. Apparently people who tried to lie and argue with the IT guys ended up getting punished.
