... from Warner Brothers Studios!

You probably know that the movie The Hangover just got released on DVD and my brother downloaded it... well somehow WB's tracked it and today they shut the internet down at the house and when my dad called to find out why they said they had just gotten a letter from WB saying that he had downloaded it and they were going to sue my brother, my dad, and the internet company!

Hopefully it's more of a scare tactic and they are not going to actually go through with it. Have any of you read the copyright warnings??? That could be bad!

Where'd he d/l it from?

I know they can make your life a living hell unless you settle out right away...

Contact them and try to get it thrown in with their defence/suit:

At the very least, a good lawyer can get the courts to await the outcome...

 

just have him say he wanted to have a "backup" copy, in case his dvd got damaged (of course, you'd hafta find a receipt for purchase of the dvd PRIOR to the d/l date).

 

I shud mention that I am NOT a lawyer!

 

^^ Thats an Idea.. 'My original got destroyed'..

 

Not good. Whatever happens, at the bottom line, they're right and he's wrong - the copyright laws and piracy laws are on their side.

 

how are they going to take the internet company to court? they have no control on what we do or how we do it. and what if its warner cable that your with, they own them.
it sounds like a scare tactic to me.
I wonder how they tracked you
