Default Busted twice in one day!

I just got 2 emails from my isp saying I was caught downloading / sharing torrents of copyrighted material. Oops. One for Surrogates and the other for Law Abiding Citizen. Funny thing is that my isp is where I work!

This is my third offense, guess I better lay low for a while or provision a new modem on someone else's account.

Get a wireless card, it's usually not too tough to find an unsecured network to "borrow" some bandwidth from.

I like the "testing the system" idea.

Either say sorry it won't happen again or play it off that you think someone must have broke into your wireless network. They don't really care, they just want you to stop, for now at least.

They don't want The Man to come down on them and shut 'em down for enabling copyright infringement.

I'm waiting for some group to come down on torrents via ISPs like the RIAA did on napster.
