So, you think you can bypass your cable company by trading copies of The Sopranos over BitTorrent? That’s what this guy thought, too:
HBO has been watching. Then they went and tattled on me to Charter.
The download at issue is the second episode of the latest season of The Sopranos. All 359 megabytes of it. The people representing HBO recommended that Charter terminate my service. Charter basically said not to do it again or else they “will have no choice but to terminate” my account.
Read the comments and you’ll see that he was using the Peer Guardian program, which supposedly protects P2P connections from snoops.
He posted PDF copies of the warning letter from Charter and the original Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) notice from HBO to Charter.
Tony S. would be proud.
