they shut my internet off. whenever i would try to navigate to a page, it would always forward me to this message from road runner explaining how i infringed a copyright and that i needed to call insight communications to get the issue resolved. needless to say i was shitting my pants. i took both my HDDS out of my computer and hid them at work (lol). i later called insight and the the gentleman on the phone then asked me if it was i or not that downloaded the torrent from starz media. I, trying to sound as dumb as possible about computers and networks, explained that we did have wifi, and that i thought it was unsecured. and that i hadnt downloaded and i didnt know how to download shit. he then said i needed to secure my network, and if it happened again, there would be legal action taken. scariest 3 days of my life.
