Copyright Violation Allegation(s) Notice Involving Your ISP Account
Recently I received a Copyright Violation Allegation Notice from my isp that went something like the following:
(My ISP) has received a notice alleging that your (My ISP) account was used for illegal sharing of copyright protected work(s) without the copyright owner’s permission. A copy of the notice is attached, along with a schedule detailing our records that correlates your high speed internet account with the time and date of the notice.
Anyway……
If you take a look at the image below you will notice that the letter is from:
BayTSP inc. NBC Universal Anti-Piracy Technical Operations
There happens to be a great utility out there called PeerBlock which allows you to control who your machine talks to on the internet. Whats even better is that it actually comes packaged with a very large compilation of known P2P, Spyware, Advertising, Education, etc. servers which you can completely block with ease. The list is updated daily as new servers become known.
If you take a look again at the pic above you will notice that in the PeerBlock program window (bottom right), the anti-piracy company (BayTSP) that sent me the notice is already included in the P2P list along with 100′s of other known anti-piracy servers.
You can get PeerBlock at
