Did you edit their letter a bit before posting it? I'm not talking about the obvious, removing your name. I mean the text doesn't mention what they said you were illegally sharing. Now, I know you have the LOTR dvd, and are assuming that's what they mean, but did they mention it by name?

If not, they simply scan the ports of people using their own service and sent you a letter without even checking if you are sharing home made porn.

Alternately, if they did mention it by name, reply and just refute it. Don't bother telling them to prove it. Tell them it's not true. Become enraged. Rave. Then carry on innocently.

Have you ever thought, how this broadband companies earn their money? With people checking their Email accounts? With people reading a couple of web pages? With low bandwith chatters?

Of course not! The profit generators are more then ever the filesharers with their almost unlimited bandwidth requirements. If the providers would act against their best clients they would really lose a lot of money.

Please cross check, if you didn't got a faked Email, I got already several of this kind, but actually my Email rules move them directly to the trash ;)
