What will happen if you get caught caught illegal downloading...?

That is actually changing. You are the first I have heard of getting the new style threats.

Before, the RIAA would threaten to sue you and extract a settlement of several thousand dollars to drop the suit.

Recently they switched tactics to partner with various ISPs. where the ISPs would send letters such as you got. If you google "RIAA new tactic ISP" you will surely find the details.

Personally, I'd be interested to see the exact letter (minus any identifying details) via email if you don't mind.

it depends on what you downloaded if its music you will get sued if it was a game you will have to buy it if it was a movie you will go to jail

They will slow down and/or terminate your internet connection.

Jjj M

it is unlawful. But it depends what you download, if you download songs you will get in less trouble but if you download something bigger you may get sued and loose a lot of $$$$$$$$. I would delete everything illegal now!

Most likely you will be charged and fined for the things you downloaded. You may also have to appear in court, but it depends on what your downloading.
I personally hate the fact the ISP's can slip into your personal detail and torment us about what we download. Real pain yknow.

Well,you should never do that.Anyhow, if you get caught,you could spend time behind bars,really!

Forget War Buy More

You get sued.

They stopped suing people; figured out it was inefficient. Now they just suspend your service. I think that's a better option, myself.

how do they catch you iv always wondered that? any way dont they give fines for that?

Flor

they can take your computer and take you to jail

Well there new thing i've heard about is that they shut off your internet access. Id stop if i were you. That warning is better than paying a HUGE HUGE fine and possibly jail time too.

You would either get charged, or go to jail. It depends on were you live. Hope this helps. Around here you just get charged 200 bucks. :)

life in a federal prison and hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines...it will also warrent a search of your house to find all the downloaded material that may have been erased from your drive and put on disk.
