I wasn't sure where to put this, so if it needs to be moved i understand.
I'll try and make a long story short, I was in a coma and my family had a friend move into my place to help take care of my dogs and pay the bills. While I was home bed ridden verizon flagged me for piracy twice (he downloaded monk and Heroes). I didn't find out for a few months when I set up my computer next to my bed.
I logged on to verizons site and i see a tab on the side bar "Copyrights Violation Notifications" and there I see both notifications. I talk to my friend and he say he will stop. I notice my internet slowing down so I confront him and end up kicking him out.
So I go one with my life and forget about the two "Copyright Violation Notifications", Verizon says in there FAQ "we will not provide your identity to a copyright owner without first receiving a subpoena or other legal process". So I figure no harm no foul.
A few months later my Aunt and mentally challenged cousin fall on hard times and move in. My house has a computer in almost every room, I set down simple rules and check the computers history once a week just to make sure.
Well my cousin unsupervised tried to download some stupid kids movie and I get another notification this time a level 3 "Auto-Dialer Call" in the action taken box and I am a little freaked out on what to do.
I was told sense the internet is in my name I am responsible.
I am just wondering if anyone has gone through this with verizon or another company and if so what happened?
