Hi everyone, I recently got an email from BT called "Get It Right From A Genuine Site campaign". In the email, it stated that there was a copyright torrent had been downloaded. It even gave the correct time and the name of the movie that was download from the torrent! I have already done a little research about it and apparently using a VPN would fix the problem, but I always use a VPN anyway because I need it to access pirate bay from my location but I still got an email? I maybe accidentally turned it off and let it seed for a while and maybe that's how I got it but in terms of downloading the torrent, the VPN was switched on. I used a free version of Zenmate extension for google chrome but I'm thinking about a monthly subscription using NordVPN instead. Apparently only the seeding part of the torrent is the problem because you're sharing the data which is the copyright part?
So I was just wondering if anyone else had some more information on this and a solution to stop getting those emails/ letters? There apparently hasn't been anyone brought to court or anything yet because of it but I certainly don't want to be the first.
