Alright, this question is going to sound fucking retarded but fuck it, I can't find an answer online anywhere so maybe somebody here can help.
Can I get a DMCA notice from my ISP for simply watching a downloaded movie that I'm not currently sharing/seeding?
To clarify: let's say I hypothetically downloaded a movie 16 months ago and removed it from my torrent client almost immediately upon completion. i watched it recently (within the last few weeks) and got a DMCA notification for it today. Did simply watching the MKV file with MPC-HC somehow alert someone that I had downloaded the file, or is it most likely a notice from when I downloaded it 16 months ago?
William Bell
Use your brain. Using a file on your computer will not bring a DMCA notice.
Charles Taylor
I know I'm retarded. It just seemed like too much of a coincidence to get a notice on a 16 month old download so soon after I re-watched it.
Any other time I've gotten a notice it was the day after I downloaded something.
Nathaniel Peterson
no you dumbass. how would anyone know the local files you use unless you have some sort of spyware
Liam Miller
I guess I'm going to run some scans now for spyware.
sorry for being so stupid. i'll try to get more gooder at brain things.
Robert Cooper
My friend told me that he got a DMCA notice after playing Skyrim. He torrented it at my place. Took his computer back home and played it then got the notice.
I don't know how true this is but perhaps there is some spyware that they use
Luis King
Hey, remove yourself from this board you stupid fuck

Leo Wood
yes for the downloading. not sure about for playing a game that was downloaded. and not just in burgerland. some yuro countries also have very strict anti-piracy laws. maybe straya too, but not sure.
Kevin Turner
Your friend left the file in his torrent client and seeded some of the data from his IP.

if win10 calls home...

>torrent something >get DMCA What the fuck, I'm suddenly glad I'm Polish
Austin Evans
Did you use some wmp or films & tv or some shit to watch it? with an intel cpu?
Carter Nelson
...
Parker Allen
I played it on MPC-HC and yes with an intel CPU.
Nathan Bennett
I thought so as well but he claims he did not. Just that simply playing the game gave him the notice.
Ayden Baker
Post your favorite DMCA's you got.

I don't receive anything. My ISP just shuts off my internet and I have to call them to see what's wrong (I always know what's wrong) and they tell me I got a DMCA, what it's for, don't do it again, then they turn my internet back on.
Kayden Lopez
What kind of shitty internet do you HAVE dude?
Samuel Phillips
Suddenlink. Literally the only non-satellite option in this area. And fuck satellite internet.
Oliver Lewis
Do you happen to use a DNS other than the one provided by the ISP? Sometimes they'll just change your website requests to the notice. So if you use a different DNS it won't work. Shit has happened to me
Ryder Cook
Sounds more like Suddend Delink to me.
Aiden Lopez
>Do you happen to use a DNS other than the one provided by the ISP? No.
> Sometimes they'll just change your website requests to the notice. I've seen what you mean, but it's never happened to me. I just wake up to no internet and know that I have to listen to La'Quandishia tell me to stop downloading movies.
Isaiah Hill
You get any emberassin ones?
>You downloaded Blacked.com the 4K Collection Complete don't do that.
Jackson Nguyen
Yes, but if you install Source Mage, you're fine.
Dominic Lee
Nah, just normal non-porn movies and shows.
Noah Diaz
Have you tried using yours? In my country ISP must give information about their customers if some copyright agency asks. And person could be fined and/or disconnected from internet.
Blake Murphy
Just a question that's semi related: Why in the world do you use torrents? Why the fuck would ANYONE EVER use torrents when there's download sites galore?
Jacob Hernandez
I remember reading that LEAs upload infected CP on Tor sites, so that when pedos download it and open it locally, the files ping their servers to give them the IPs of those who opened the illegal files, regardless of where and when they've been downloaded.
It could be that the FBI or the copyright holders of your torrented files started using this technique (in which case you'd get a notice for merely opening it, even if you got the files on a flash drive from your friend), but I think that it's highly unlikely for obvious reasons.
Kevin Butler
That would imply that the MPAA is modifying and then uploading copies of their movies to bait pirates. Seems a bit too much effort to send people DMCA notices that do literally nothing.
Christian Morales
Win10 can send back telemetrics, so you start playing some movie named xxx.avi, it send that back home to microshit, who sends that info to jews, which sends outs the dmca, so yes, technically you can get that now, but only in burger land.
Jeremiah Scott
>Seems a bit too much effort to send people DMCA notices that do literally nothing. Yeah, but that could be said about many (if not most) other anti-piracy strategies that have been attempted. Especially those that targeted the downloaders.
Austin Nguyen
OP here...still using win8 for that very reason.

Well, you got one thing right: It does sound fucking retarded.
