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?

Use your brain. Using a file on your computer will not bring a DMCA notice.

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.

no you dumbass. how would anyone know the local files you use unless you have some sort of spyware

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.

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

Hey, remove yourself from this board you stupid fuck

does this really fucking happen in burger country? you play/download a pirated copy and you get a fucking dmca?

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.

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

Did you use some wmp or films & tv or some shit to watch it? with an intel cpu?

...

I played it on MPC-HC and yes with an intel CPU.

I thought so as well but he claims he did not. Just that simply playing the game gave him the notice.

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.

What kind of shitty internet do you HAVE dude?

Suddenlink. Literally the only non-satellite option in this area. And fuck satellite internet.

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

Sounds more like Suddend Delink to me.

>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.

You get any emberassin ones?

>You downloaded Blacked.com the 4K Collection Complete don't do that.

Yes, but if you install Source Mage, you're fine.

Nah, just normal non-porn movies and shows.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

>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.

OP here...still using win8 for that very reason.

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