reset ip and mac address and say there must be a mistake you don't illegally download anything.

Get a lawyer.

Was your wifi point encrypted? If not, just say someone hopped on. All they've got is your IP...not the machine. Just cast reasonable doubt and you're good. they're looking for a quick settlement.

an hero. You can use a plastic shopping bag out of the nearest trash bin. Won't cost you anything.

Even if I cleared the MAC addresses from my router and told them someone else got on couldnt they still pursue the case further? And couldn't they blame me for having my wifi open?

scan the subpoena and show us NAOW!!!

USA or Europe? If Europe, you must encrypt to WPA by law. In the USA you don't have to. Wardriving is common. Hell, I do it all the time.

If someone used your IP or wifi point to download something it's not your fault.

As before, they're looking for a quick settlement. Not a protracted lawsuit.

Talk to an Intellectual Property lawyer. They often give a bit of advice for free.

If it helps, at the top of the documents it says U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, where I do not live. Does this mean it falls out of my jurisdiction?

USA

That's where they filed the subpoena. Probably closest to them.

Call your ISP. See if they assign a static IP to your address. See if it's a shared IP or NAT'd at any point on their network. Often it is, depending on ISP. If so, there's your reasonable doubt.

Again, talk to an Intellectual Property lawyer.

>Does this mean it falls out of my jurisdiction?

nope.

>I got a subpoena regarding something I downloaded.

was it someone else's intellectual property or did you downloaded something illegal

out of interest what did you download? cp would be a much harsher case wheras piracy might be a bit easier to get out of

>>364847013


this is a really good point...what did you download?

If it's obviously illegal, you're fucked.

If it's just intellectual property (like Bittorrent or that Steven Segal movie you couldn't live without) you're in better shape.

>>364846632
One more thing, who should I actually be telling this to? I'm sure the company pursuing these lawsuits won't be very cooperative if I just tell them it wasn't me.

pics or it didn't happen

It was just a regular production porn video, not CP

During the consultation with the lawyer. Call around. Someone will give you advice for free trying to get your case...

Document the shit out of your current network config. Call your ISP and see if they've turned over records. If they haven't make sure you notify them not to without a court order.

Good luck. Don't panic. It's a civil, not a criminal matter.

Bwhahaha. Ok, I've seen this before. They're trying to shame you into a settlement. They'll publish the name of the porn you downloaded in the hopes that you'll settle rather than have it all dragged into court and look like an asshole.

It's intimidation, pure and simple.

You just have to decide whether it's worth the drama of fighting.

Your call.

but I'd still talk to a lawyer.

and next time use PeerBlock or PeerGuardian.

just pretend like you never got the letter

Terrible advice.

The court will enter a default judgement against you. You're automatically liable then...

>>364848107
That's not true at all. Quit trying to scare him.

In civil court they can't do that.

Ignore and postpone indefinitely, OP. Eventually they'll get fed up and do something else other than bother you.

>>364848253

Once again, you can take this advice, but then your ISP will be required to respond to the subpoena and release your personal information. If you do not take action the court could ultimately enter a "default judgment" against you, which means a ruling that you owe money to the company that sued you. A default judgment may be legally enforceable, and could be turned over to a debt collection agency or otherwise be used to collect money from you. It can also harm your credit rating.

>>364848422
More fucking lies.

What are you? Some jew lawyer for the entertainment industry? GTFO with your manipulative bullshit.

Ive read a few things about sending in a motion to quash, which wouldn't require a lawyer and could get me out of it.

Also, it says if I don't object it my ISP will give out my information. How should I go about doing this?
