SO here begins my rant.
My school had a conference a while back where the presenters and lectures were recorded. Now we are distributing the recordings- both movies and audio files via bittorrent because that is alot faster than the ftp servers we have. So I downloaded two of the lectures for my own use- since I missed them the first time around. I am still sharing all of them on another computer via bittorrent.
My ISP sends me two threat emails this morning that because I am using bittorrent I am violating copyrights and they are going to cut my service.
I have my mouth open. How can I be violating a copyright to something I (well, the school) technically hold the copyright to? who set them up on this or it is just a blank threat because I am using bittorent?
and since when did they begin tracking what I download?
I pisses me off because I have download a bunch of stuff of Demonoid, broken stones etc. for years and not one peep , now I set up something completely legitimate and they do this ?
