Time Warner Threatens To Proscute
« on: February 22, 2012, 12:36 PM »
I'm taking my list down as I won't be able to download or upload anymore due to a call to me from Time Warner (our internet company) saying that they have been monitoring my account for sometime and that if I continue to download anything illegally they will prosecute and this is okay because they just recently changed their policy. Soooo yeah, I just wanted to let everyone know. I'll still be here though and I'll answer any questions you all have if I can.


[Edit] Actually nevermind that, I'm not taking my list down, people can still take from my posts, and I can send ebooks from another location as well as get them. :)

That really sucks. Is there another internet provider you can change to, one who does not derive income from books?

I don't know, I haven't really checked. It's my mom's internet though so even if there was it would be up to her. But I do know that I can use other peoples internet (like the libraries) to get my books still. My friend pointed that out the other day.

You know I had the same issue when my son and I were downloading movies. Any large file has a much greater chance of getting you caught than the little books we submit. Plus it was torrents that got us noticed. I backed off for a month & quit dl'ing movies & have been fine for 5 years with the same provider lol.

I was downloading shows and music as well as books on here. And I haven't downloaded since that call but I'm scared. I don't think I'll download anything at home again lol. I'll just do it at the library or some other location (that's not Time Warner) and bring the stuff home.

Sounds like a plan. You can always ask to have someone email you too. I'd be happy to email you a book I have.  :) Especially those new releases!!! We can't expect you to wait for those!
