This happened to me with Cox as well, except it was the Business Software Assocation that contacted Cox because I downloaded and was seeding MS Visual Studio .NET Pro...  What's surprising is my parent's really didn't overreact like I though they would.  My dad just said "Mike, you know better than to steal from Microsoft."

So I just *deleted* the torrent and illegal content from my HDD like the Cox e-mail said to... aka just stopped seeding it :P.

Oh, this incident had no effect on the amount of copyrighted material I pirate.  For me, once a pirate, always a pirate.

I thought like that once. Then I discovered that I could get everything I needed for free without supporting commercial companies (either financially or morally), so now I don't pirate anything illegally (keeping in mind that downloading music here isn't illegal).
