I was 538 miles away in Canada

flase flag by TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX FILM CORPORATION

false flag by Charter Communications

false flag by TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX FILM CORPORATION



First of all, I am using openSUSE Linux with ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 for Linux Desktop. I have a fully secure router with the WiFi not only password protected, but also disabled. If that was not enough, my router only accepts connections approved on the white list and remote login is also disabled. Finally, at the time of this allegedly downloaded movie, not only was I not home, I was 583 miles north enjoying the warm sun, cooler northern air, and the calm waters at the beach in Canada.



With that all in mind, the attached screenshots I find to be a mix between comical, sad, and offensive all at the same time. With that in mind, I have a few choice words in regards to your notice, that I'm pretty sure I cannot share them with you since the forum rules do not allow for poor language. However, I would provide you with a helpful hint with the harmless letter "F" followed by an address for, yourself.



Now to be clear, I did not come here today to make this post with any expectation of anyone here on this website to be able to help in regards to this matter. Rather, I just want everyone to see how silly you both appear to me at this moment and for, you, yourselves, to know it should any representative agent so happen to view these forums. Because whatever automated system you have in identifying actual pirates, you're clearly either not using it right or it is not functioning properly.



Have a wonderful day. Sincerely a law-abiding citizen who thinks a little less of both Charter Communications and Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation. I am the kind of person who if you blame me for something I did not do, I feel like I should go do it. After all, if I'm going to be forced to pay the price, I may as well collect the dues which I'm paying for.First of all, I am using openSUSE Linux with ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 for Linux Desktop.

In the Original Complaint did you (Edit: Your Router/Modem/Device Connected behind Charter Modem) have the IP specified at the time specified? If yes. This is not Charters Fault. They are required to notify you. They did. Blame the Fox and the people working for them.

If No, then yes Charter Mixup, blame deserved.

The router saves the last known configuration and if I were to enable my WiFi right now, it would still have the password that I previously have used. I just happen to have it off for the past few months and currently (time well before and after their claim).

For example, Google thinks I am at City Hall in the town of Holyoke (I am neither at city hall or in the town of Holyoke). That is hard to say since my IP address keeps changing.

Where google thinks you are is irrelevant in this case. The copyright notice only deals with your IP address, nothing more. Are you intentionally changing it at various intervals? I can go for a year plus with the same IP address.Where google thinks you are is irrelevant in this case. The copyright notice only deals with your IP address, nothing more.

As far as I know, you cannot change your own IP address. That is done on their end and the only exception, of course, would be if you used a proxy or a VPN. But that still would not change the IP address assigned to your Charter Account / Modem, which you, yourself have no control over (unless you know something I do not)

edit: You clearly have a different router than I as I do not see such an option in my router settings. How would you change your MAC address? I assume that is tied to your hardware.You clearly have a different router than I as I do not see such an option in my router settings.

Either Charter wrongfully associated me with that IP or Fox for poorly tracking. 583 miles away from home in another country, with everything locked down, and computer off; clearly someone has goofed.

openSUSE Tumbleweed (see link = »



I have not seen the movie, not even in theaters. The preview looks very childish to me.

openSUSE Tumbleweed (see link = » software.opensuse.org/di ··· mbleweed ) offers a direct download option that allows me to download at 8 MB per second (see screenshot). The other 2 options allow you to download a meta4 file, that I have no idea what you do with and nothing opens that file. Or you can pick an alternative mirror to download. There is no torrent file for openSUSE Tumbleweed.I have not seen the movie, not even in theaters. The preview looks very childish to me. »www.youtube.com/watch?v= ··· IhWE4LP0

I'm not sure that I agree with the poster who suggested complaining to the FCC. As of now, Charter has not disclosed your identity to anyone outside of Charter, and I would keep it that way if I were you. I would definitely, however, write Charter, letting them know that you think the claim is completely false. Point out that you want to stay anonymous to those filing the complaint at this time, and that you are not uploading or downloading copyrighted material, that you have a secure network, and that you weren't home at the time of the alleged incident. At that point, you have it on record that you disagree, but neither the FCC nor FOX knows that you were the target of a DMCA complaint. Realistically, FOX hasn't threatened you with a lawsuit or anything that is forcing Charter to give up your identity. The only company that counts in the matter is Charter - if they get more complaints and try to cut your service off or reveal your identity to FOX. Basically, if they have a counter at 1 on you, try to get it set back to 0. Don't give FOX the satisfaction of someone self-identifying as a result of a false DMCA complaint.

Ignore the notice. Nothing will happen to you. Move on. It's not worth any more effort. Charter would only do something if they got many more complaints, since you don't torrent you have nothing to worry about. Fox can't do anything because they don't know who you are.
