Funny you should ask. Recently Sony sent me a rather nasty email indicating that they'd caught me in the act of downloading a movie via a peer to peer file sharing network. I was warned that I was to cease immediately and that I was in effect, going to be watched. The worrisome thing about all this is that I do not have any file sharing ability enabled on my machine ( although here in Canada downloading is still legal, just not uploading) and the movie that they claim I was downloading ( all 4 plus gigs on a dial up home phone connect) is a chick flick that would have made me cry to have actually got caught dead having. I fired back a rather testy response, indicating that if they wanted to search my hard drives for their precious movie, no problem. I'll send the drives by courier immediately, they can examine them if they sign a non disclosure agreement on anything non Sony and compensate me for my time and trouble. I also let them know that anything Sony, was now on my S&^t list. Anything at all. ( Remember, these are the same people that put spyware on their DVD's and Cd's and created a huge flap) Simply put, Sony was on a fishing expedition. Trying to put a scare into me regarding their property and exerting jurisdiction in an area that they actually have no right to do. All that said, they simply indicated in their email, that I was being warned. They made no allusion to my being prosecuted. They wouldn't have gotten anywhere with their ridiculous accusations anyway. There was no movie being downloaded. I'm on dial up for gawd's sake. They couldn't have done anything anyway, my computer being located in Canada if I actually had done what I was accused of. I'm not a pro piracy type of guy, but some of the tactics these entertainment companies are starting to use are making me start to think twice about brow beating someone that actually is pirating and "sticking it to the man", is starting to look attractive.
