Obvious. Hit the "Stop" button on your bittorrent client.
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

From Slashdot:

Using BitTorrent?  Guilty of copyright infringement.

Quote
For my investigation, I wrote a very simple BitTorrent client. My client sent a request to the tracker, and generally acted like a normal Bittorrent client up to sharing files. The client refused to accept downloads of, or upload copyrighted content. It obeyed the law... With just this, completely legal, BitTorrent client, I was able to get notices from BayTSP. To put this in to perspective, if BayTSP were trying to bust me for doing drugs, it'd be like getting arrested because I was hanging out with some dealers, but they never saw me using, buying, or selling any drugs.
I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there

Running with Code has a new home!

Our species really annoys me.

I'm wondering if maybe I should just let them cancel the service, I think that's the only penalty. If I challenge it then it sends the challenge to the lawyer and they'll probably try to subpoena my address and stuff. I could just switch to Verizon or something.

I don't know if that's for certain.

In the event that you submit to Cox a counter-notification that includes these
elements, Cox will forward your counter notification to the complainant and
advise them that Cox will cease disabling access to the allegedly infringing
material in ten (10) business days.  Unless the complainant notifies us that it
has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain you from engaging in the
allegedly infringing activity prior to the expiration of those ten (10) business
days, Cox will reactivate your account.

What's with this "fight the system" attitude when it's totally unnecessary.  Yeah, switch providers.  No big deal.

If Cox wants to alienate their customers, let them. The more people who switch off Cox, the better. The only think corporations understand is $$$.

Incidentally, what happened to the original question? I would have liked to have seen what's being discussed :/

Well I'd have to go down to DSL since Cox is the only cable provider in the area. Anyway, I just deleted the file and emailed hbo and told them that. My mom will call Cox tomorrow and say the same.

If they really sent you a phony DMCA Takedown notice, then they could be charged with perjury, according to the law as I understand it. If you're confident in your position, you should pursue it from that direction.
