I was convicted of copyright infringement, I had no clue of the consequences, what can I Do? I had no idea the consequences and am scared to lose my internet, what can I do!!! plz help!!!

Answer 1

This sounds like a half baked public service announcement for the recording industry. You weren't convicted of anything if you just received some sort of cease and desist notice. Lay off the dope and stop downloading stuff illegally is my best advice.    

Answer 2

Sorry, but I find it hard to believe anyone who can turn on a computer is "unaware" of copyright violation laws. You lucked out this time.

Sounds like you're probably being railroaded cuz you're a little guy. Call the show if you need more. He'll read them the riot act, and give the clowns some bad publicity in the mean-time.

Good luck to you. All of a sudden, just like plumbers, it's amazing how lawyers become saviors in emergencies ...

Answer 4

Put the service under someone else's name man.  Next time be a little smarter about it too.
