Copyright Notices

Okay, so yesterday I received a friendly little popup from Comcast telling me I've received my first notice about sharing stuff. Not sure if it was from KAT, TPB, Demonoid, etc., but I'm just wondering a few things:

1. What does this mean?
2. How many strikes can you get maximum?

Note that this is the first year I've ever been the primary account holder for any ISP service. So if someone who's received previous copyright notices from other ISP companies could enlighten me on this matter, I'd be very much appreciative.

EDIT: Upon further inspection of my Comcast email, I only found out what exactly I downloaded to anger them and where.

 

I don't know about the states but for Canada

As of January 1, 2015, internet service providers (ISP) are legally required to pass on these notices as part of Canada’s Copyright Modernization Act. Prior to this date, ISPs have been forwarding notices to consumers voluntarily.

Privacy lawyer David Fraser says the notices serve as a warning and a wake-up call to internet users.

“Your online activities are not necessarily completely anonymous,” he said.

“Depending on how you’re downloading music or how you’re downloading TV shows or movies — you’re exposing your IP address, which is your online identity, all over the place.”

While the notices can be alarming, they’re not an indication the copyright holder is suing. ISPs are also not obligated to disclose the consumers’ identities.

“Don’t expect and don’t imagine that just because you received that letter, the rights holder knows yet who you are and that they’ve started a lawsuit or that they’re about to start a lawsuit against you,” Fraser said.

The rights holder can, however, go to the courts to request the names associated with IP addresses and launch a lawsuit.

Now that's why I stream everything because streaming is more of in a gray area than black and white

Kodi works great for that
