DO Non CONTACT THEM. REPEAT - DO Not CONTACT THEM OR GIVE THEM ANY INFORMATION!

This is just a scare tactic, they are basically "phishing" for guilty people to answer to them and provide them all the necessary information to scare them into a settlement.

Essentially they simply spam these DMCA notices, regardless of validity, and promise you become "scared" and call them back. Then they slowly pry information from you until they really *could* have a "case" against y'all.

If you just ignore it, they accept to go to court and file a "john doe" lawsuit and go through a agglomeration of hoops in the hope to obtain your identity from Charter. Hint: They never do this, equally half the time the DMCA takedown is bogus anyhow!

If you lot do not employ Bittorrent and your systems are malware/virus complimentary this means you probably fall into the 50% error category these companies prey off of.

At this bespeak, they're just line-fishing for money. They hope you will call, mail, or email them (from a personal box) so they have direct contact info. Which they'll utilise to go on pressuring you. Sounds like a grouping that tries to brand money off copyright violations (copyright troll). Really going to court (where they would need your identity from Charter) costs money, so such groups usually avert that. Contacting them would reduce their price of going to court, since y'all'd exist giving them contact info for gratis.

DieTrollDie has a FAQ on settlement letters, among other things. Site is a good resource for those being pressured by trolls.

FightCopyrightTrolls has a FAQ on if a court case is really filed, and what y'all can practice. This site is another good resource on how to fight dorsum.

TorrentFreak is a news site focusing on copyright bug. Despite the proper name, no torrents e'er announced on it - it is strictly news. They encompass trolling regularly - you can search their site for settlement letters, etc to see what the strategies are today.

However, equally the named subscriber on the account, you may be held responsible for any misuse of your business relationship.

I am non a lawyer, and then have this with generous salt: From what I've read, the subscriber is not legally responsible for infringement they didn't do (and is non obligated to finger someone else either). Charter might suspend an account, simply they don't like suspending paying customers. The troll can legally harass subscribers, simply information technology costs them to practise so.

Suggest reading the higher up sites, specially before giving the guys any info or money.

note: if they are offering to settle for a music file, information technology may exist a trap. They may have a listing of 20-30 files they claim are from your IP accost. Should you settle for 1, they'll promptly send a bill for all the rest at the same cost-per-file.

Anytime you were to receive anything supposedly official from anybody, it would start by maxim "Dear with your real name" at the start of Whatsoever notification. The instant you see anything titled dear anything else, you KNOW it's a scam! I don't think any official document would kickoff with Dearest anyway! Don't know of anyone that would contact yous via electronic mail for annihilation really official to begin with either.

By initially responding y'all have shown yous do check your due east-mail and it is an active business relationship, so be prepared to exist bombed by them, but report them equally spam to Charter.

Well, to be honest, they take your name, your address, contact information, all tied your Lease account. Since you best-selling you received the DMCA warning from your Lease electronic mail, they take just virtually everything they demand.

Simply good luck with this.

They exercise? Since when? The only person I know who has ever received one of these got a certified mail and that was only about 2-3 months ago.

Nice to know that though. Learn something new every day!

These days Charter emails a generic notification from abuse@charter.com with a reference number and a link to a Charter site @ »notices.lease.com . You login to the site with using the reference number and your account number to see the actual notice from the copyright enforcer.

Dainty to know that though. Acquire something new every day!

Two dissimilar types of notices.

The first type, are the groups/agencies watching for file sharing. They place an IP and send a detect to the Internet access provider. The ISP will forward that notice to the user of that IP. The notice will state the file proper noun(s) and the appointment and time of the infringement. These are simply full general "terminate sharing" notices and not a big deal.

The certified letter very likely did not come from Lease. If a certified letter was received, it was very likely from an actual police firm and they were given the users address data as part of an ongoing lawsuit.

So, merely for giggles did you lot check to see if your network is countersign protected, that another device isn't logged onto your router, are yous running a TOR network, check your PC for malware..... information technology's possible someone is using your network to obfuscate their own location and you lot might be privy to the vi strikes rule to lost your net connection.

Did you lot have a business firm guest at the time this was happening? it's quite possible someone else is causing this faux positive.
