I received this e-mail from the "VP Legal Counsel" for UNC. "In the last two weeks the University has received numerous complaints from both the movie industry and recording industry concern illegal downloads of copyrighted material. These downloads are theft. Our IT department has the IP addresses and can identify the perpetrators. We will have to turn these names over to the recording and motion picture companies for prosecution if requested.
Two years ago five our students were prosecuted for download theft. They were able to make a deal with the companies, but it cost each of them legal fees and about $5,000.
Be warned unauthorized downloads are illegal and you may be prosecuted."
And here are the reasons why I think this letter is a stupid prank:
1. You think a legal profession would proofread work. Two errors where they guy clearly left out words.
2. Why would the movie industry target a University in a small town? They're just trying to scare us or it's a prank.
Also, I got my eye glasses today!!!
Yay!!!!!!!!!
Ok, so I have one final left and then ROAD TRIP to Pennsylvania/Ohio/New York to see Luke's family/my dad/the Big Apple! Exciting. Off to play WoW. I need my fix! - Beckie
