Source I wasn't sure whether this could go in Serious Chat or Other Music, so I put it here, since it can be moved easily enough. Anyway, I think this is what they should've been doing from the start. Suing an 11-year-old boy for downloading a Limp Bizkit song is completely asinine.
Maybe now my parents will get off my ass about having 70 gigs of illegal music on my harddrive now that they've ceased going after people with lawsuits. I bet Lars Ulrich is crying, though.
HOWEVER! If they do find you UPLOADING Music, and see that you are, your ISP will send you a letter saying to cease file-sharing and never do so again, at the risk of being temporary disconnected from the internet, or completely disconnect you from that ISP. Also, they could throttle your Connection too if found, Comcast already does that.
Does that mean actually uploading the music to a website or torrent tracker, or does seeding torrents include too? I guess I'm from australia so it doesn't really matter, but I'm still interested.
If you fileshare DRM music, and someone anonymously downloaded it bit-torrent style or download style, then yes.
