Well, I think the only question in my mind is what, if anything, should I do about the above notice. It’s remarkably absent in it’s requests for me to do anything in response to it. Rosie has deleted the files.

I certainly don’t want to lose my service, cable is really our only good internet and TV option. So I want Comcast to be happy. Looking out on the internet at threads about this kind of notice, there’s considerable debate about whether I should send any response at all.

I also haven’t seen in those threads any indication that the material owner ever does anything more about it.

Anyway, would appreciate your thoughts.

Would you appreciate my thoughts? Here they are...

“Crap!”

There you go.

Good afternoon. Matthew has a birthday party to go to this afternoon...two of them, as a matter of fact! One is a paintball party and the other is a swimming party at the local high school pool.

So I’m home alone till I have to go to work. Work went well yesterday, even though it was stressful. My medicine did it’s job and my bp never got over 140/90. We seem to have a handle on it at last.

I would do nothing in response. Especially if they’re not making any demands. In fact I’d shred it.

But I’d also make sure my HD was spic and span in case...

Since it’s probably one of thousands of such letters, I wouldn’t expect any further action, provided that they don’t send additional notices.

I would guess that the way it works is that the RIAA or whatever org gives them a list of servers they’ve found, comcast sends out letters to ask them to stop. If they don’t stop they send another notice, and if they still don’t stop they suspend the account. Or something like that.

There’s going to be many tens of thousands of those. They aren’t going to chase every single one. They’ll try to cut down the numbers first.

Also check to make sure you’ve got security on your wifi.
