Default Re: Cease! Desist!

Last year in the spring semester, I still lived on campus and one day I got an e-mail forwarded to me by the IT department of my school. The e-mail was a cease and desist from HBO for supposedly downloading the TV show "Entourage".

The only thing was... well, I never downloaded the show (in fact, at that time I had no idea the TV show existed). I called the IT director and he was sympathetic and said he would help me. Then, the following day he called me and had a complete change of attitude, saying the show had to have existed once on my hard drive. I said no but he didn't care; I had to electronically sign a form that said I did download the show and I won't download illegally anymore.. I was pretty steamed.

Oh well, at least I leave off campus now. Downloading really isn't an issue now
