In one instance, a user of the popular file sharing system BitTorrent was dispatched a notice from the media giant for allegedly downloading a television show.
According to TorrentFreak, NBC Universal sent the threatening notice to a user accessing the web through an Internet provider that is currently not participating in the 'six strike' system that detects and punishes Internet customers of several American providers who download illegally. The notice was similar to what copyright violators connected to the web using 'six strike' ISPs have begun to receive - and the language used in the notice is markedly more aggressive.
In addition to the threat of criminal prosecution, the notice sent to the downloader included the potential termination of their Internet service account.
?Copyright infringement also violates your Internet Service Provider?s terms of service and could lead to limitation or suspension of your Internet service.?
Under the new 'six strike' rules, by comparison, affiliated Internet providers are not compelled to disconnect file sharers, though more ambiguous consequences are said to include a slowdown in access speeds for repeat offenders, blocked access to popular websites, and even compulsory copyright education courses.
