Got an email from my ISP
Saying that my IP address has been traced to a copyrighted download. Anyone else ever get one of these?

I'm a little worried and I plan to stop. Big brother is watching so be careful.

1. Sounds like a phishing scam to me
I got one of those. If you run your mouse pointer over the links and look where it takes you at the bottom of your browser, you will likely notice that they don't go to your ISP.
