[Digital Bliss]

Ok that user is me lol my dad gets a free 56k college connection and was told by the admin last night at 12am I dled buffy the vampire slayer WTF. I know i didnt the only thing i have buffy related is a xbox game in my share on dc but he was told I downloaded it which is false because im a fucking 56kps user why would i touture my self lifke that and besides i dont even like buffy well i do like that alyson hannagan chick now shes hot. If anyone has an ideas into how i can prove it wasent me please feel free to elaborate. This is really shitty but kinda funny i could see it now in the headlines 56k user caught downloading movies thats just retarded.

Did you recieve a letter or something?

Tell him to show you the proof. IP addresses, times, file names, hashes, whatever else.

2 options: tell them that you didnt download it, you already had it, or play stupid and delete it.

it'd probably be a pain to get from you b/c of the speed anyways.

Maybe your admin is confused and instead of downloading the game, he saw network traffic of someone trying to download the game off of your computer.

I wouldnt worry about being sued, almost no network admin would go as far as reporting you for "XXX!!!Internet piracy!!!XXX" and would probably just suspend your internet access, most admins anyway have their more than fair share of downloaded programs utilities.

Dont be too worried about it, just be prepared for the fact you may not have internet access for a while :]

They said i dled buffy the vampire slayer movie but i dont have any buffy movies im on 56k lol wtf this is so gay the only buffy related thing i have is a xbox game which seems to have dissapeared.

They just are a little confused. They obviously saw your Buffy game in your share somehow and you got busted for sharing it, not dl'ing it.

If you have a Buffy game in your share and they got you for Buffy whatever, it's obviously that. Tkae it out of your share, simple as that.

There is another possibility: You may have had your PC hijacked to act as a proxy for someone else. This happens a lot more than people realise.

Often the hijacker will time his attack to a period when he feels no one will be using the PC and therefore be unaware of his actions.

Firewalls prevent this, but a lot of people don't set them up right or simply don't engage them.
