		<description>Let&#039;s see... Haven&#039;t logged in to the email/personal account I got together with the internet subscription from my isp... since 3-4 years back...

=&gt; Chances I&#039;ll find myself reading this email ~0%.

...And it would not make much sense for them to send them to the web mails I use, even if, or rather especially if valid, they wouldn&#039;t exactly be able to prove any connections... (of course I understand that the above creates some risk for the connection if unread VALID warnings keep piling in the &#039;unused&#039; account, but I choose not to worry too much.)</description>

		<description>LOL. You have to be a rather ignorant person to buy an exe being some sort of a report. I&#039;d like to think torrent users are mostly smarter than that - or perhaps some aren&#039;t, but they might be getting a lesson very soon...</description>

Had to reformat the &#039;ol PC, I wish this on not even my worst enemies because it disables all anti-virus software - and believe me I tried every single option out there!</description>

		<description>First, running an operating system where .exe files pose no threat, I laugh once again by the ignorance and stupidity of people who just follow everyone else... ohhhhh here we go... 

A) If you fall for this, you deserve to be castrated and sodomized (anals), not necessarily in that order.

B) Obviously its a scam, a hilarious one at that, because you idiots fall for it.  

C) by reading this, you can expect prosecution by 17 U.S.C.512,1201?1205,1301?1332; 28 U.S.C. 4001 laws.

hahaha look up that particular law...  its a federal law, unconstitutional easily fought in the higher courts, if you have the time/intelligence/free will.   Secondly, outside of the US? hahaha you already are winning! 

Sheeple &quot;MediaDefender I love it when you shove your gigantic falis into my tight little arse and go to town... ummmmmmm ya, okay okay whats that?  Okay, I will stop downloading... oh yeah thats the spot, get the fist...&quot;

Yeah, Media defender founders (two limpdick loosers) needs to be taking out back, shot, then their families will receive the 1.75 bill for the bullet and the shallow grave digging bill.  Because they can&#039;t get it up, they think they can expload their whiteshots of power all over the world.</description>

		<description>&quot;or searched&quot; hahahahah, so its a crime just to think about doing things now.

Wow, free speech huh?

Hey, try to enforce:  &quot;We strongly advise you to stop any future activities regarding the downloading of illegal content or you can expect prosecution by 17 U.S.C.512,1201?1205,1301?1332; 28 U.S.C. 4001 laws.&quot;

Try to enforce that US Federal Law, on a sovereign nation, that does not follow US laws.

However, I do respect they are the World Police... fuck ya.  Freedom isn&#039;t fuckin&#039; free, YOU have to pay a hefty fuck&#039;n fee</description>

		<description>One thing everyone has omitted mention of -- who actually registers their email address at any of the bittorrent sites they download stuff from?

Hmmm...?

Yeah, of course not. So how would they contact you by email if it was real anyway?

Logic.</description>

		<description>To the more experienced and BitTorrent savvy users it is clear that the email is a scam. First of all, MediaDefender has never been involved in anti-piracy enforcement. The only thing they do is spoofing, flood BitTorrent sites with fake files, and the occasional DDoS attack on Revision3.

In addition, the email claims to have data on what the user searched for on the sites, which is irrelevant and practically impossible. It seems that the spammers should have done some more research on the topic. A good spammer would have included The Pirate Bay in the list of sites instead of Getinvites, which is a BitTorrent invite trading site, and not a search engine

A related scam email, sent out by the same group of people judging by the style and format, is also targeted at filesharers and threatens to suspend their Internet connection. The email claims to be sent by the Internet service provider consortium, and again includes an infected attachment with a report.

The email is a clever scam that shows how mainstream BitTorrent has become. The emails are sent out randomly, but many recipients, scared by be cut off by their ISP, or sued for downloading copyrighted material, might open the infected attachment without realizing that it is a scam.</description>

Though I can&#039;t be sure how effective this could actually be, since I wouldn&#039;t open an anti-piracy email if I got one. :P
