Here is what I got....

Subject: Time Warner Cable Notice re:Alleged Copyright Infringement

Dear ABC XYZ (Primary Account Holder),

We have been notified that copyrighted content may have been shared using your Internet connection without permission of the copyright owner.

What does that mean?

Copyright owners (such as artists, moviemakers, and authors) and their representatives routinely monitor peer-to-peer networks to see if their content (such as music, movies, and TV shows) is being shared without their permission. If they notice somebody sharing their content without their permission through a Time Warner Cable account, they let us know.

As the primary account holder, you are responsible for making sure your account is not used for copyright infringement. Please note that we don’t know which computer or other device may be the one to have triggered the notification; it could be any device using your account.

What was allegedly shared and when?

File Name: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Content Type: Video

Content URL:

Shared: May 3 2015 4:10PM

IP Address: xxx.xx.xxx.xxx

Did you provide my personal information to the copyright owner?

We have not shared any of your personal information with the copyright owner in connection with the notice that we received. Rather, the copyright owner or its representative simply provided us with an IP address associated with your account, and we then sent this alert to you.

Alright, so what do I need to do?

· If you have been sharing content illegally using your Internet connection,please stop doing so immediately.

· Make sure that everyone who uses your Internet connection knows that you received this alert, and advise them not to make any illegal use of music, television and movie content. For information regarding authorized sources for music, movies and TV shows, please see http://www.copyrightinformation.org/a-better-way-to-find-movies-tv-music/. Other examples of legal sources include: http://www.timewarnercable.com/en/residential-home/tv/channels/on-demand.html, and http://www.timewarnercable.com/en/residential-home/tv/premiums.html.

· Secure your home wireless network so that nobody who is unauthorized to use it is able to do so. (learn more here http://onguardonline.gov/articles/0013-securing-your-wireless-network).

· Be aware of the dangers associated with using peer-to-peer (“P2P”) networks. P2P programs can pose dangers to your computer and other devices, and to our network. Risks can include mistaken downloading of malware, pornography or copyrighted material, and allowing any anonymous person on the Internet to access and copy your computer files. Therefore, it is important that you inspect your computer and other devices for P2P programs and ensure that you are neither intentionally nor inadvertently making copyrighted works available for uploading by others. Click here for more information about the various risks: http://onguardonline.gov/p2p

Hopefully this is the last time we contact you. If a copyright owner does not identify further instances of alleged copyright infringement involving your account, then this will be your last alert from us.

And what if this continues to happen?

Using your account to share content without the copyright owner’s permission can be a violation of U.S. copyright laws, and of our acceptable use policy. Under the Copyright Alert System (for more on CAS click here: http://www.copyrightinformation.org),further instances of suspicious activity involving your account may result in our undertaking measures that will temporarily affect your Internet experience. The range of actions may include redirection to a landing page for a period of time or until you contact Time Warner Cable.

We will, of course, provide you with advance notice prior to taking any such steps. We will also offer you the ability to challenge a copyright owner’s notices through an independent party prior to any service alterations. You may wish to preserve records or information that could be used to demonstrate that the activity in question was non-infringing.

I still have questions about this alert, where can I go?

For additional information about this alert, to learn how you can prevent further alerts, and to understand more about the Copyright Alert System, please visit the Center for Copyright Information – Copyright Alert System website at http://www.copyrightinformation.org.

Thank you for subscribing to Time Warner Cable’s high speed data service. We look forward to having you as a customer for years to come.

Sincerely,

Customer Service

Get a seedbox or a VPS. Share among friends to lower cost. Also there are programs that help encrypt traffic and block suspicious peers.

Not thinking on those lines as of now. It is not the cost but using torrents is very very less here and whatever is used is done by my wife sometimes every week. My TV series watching is completely stopped here now as I rarely get any time to do so. So these free 1GB limit or download speed limit services are fine for now.
 
I can't understand how downloading torrent as HTTP will help in your case. If they can find out what you're downloading via torrent, they can also find what you download via HTTP. I'd rather suggest VPN.

I guess with torrents it was more off the seeding which probably triggered it. As seeding for on for 1+ days after download was complete and I use only public trackers.
With the various websites like zbigz and such, torrent is downloaded on their server and then I use IDM to download the file to my laptop.
 
Just because these idiots send tickets/warnings for downloading P2P content, i have people from Michigan who ask me to upload few torrents to Google Drive or Dropbox and they will download it.
Well, Most of them shifted to Netflix for media. 1 ID = 3 people use simultaneously.[DOUBLEPOST=1430929394][/DOUBLEPOST]

Netflix for media is good no doubt but then you don't have latest episodes right.
I stay in a small city and only other option for broadband here is a company called NKTelco whose plans are also in ball park of TWC. And yeah due to this being a small city (or probably you can call village :) ) we don't have lot of broadband options and yes no FiOS or comcast or ATT.
