My parents (I'm 18) received an email from Comcast that was a copyright infringement notice. I downloaded a game and once I was informed by my father of what occurred, I immediately removed the game from the computer and the bit-torrent program used to torrent it. Here is the main part of the letter:
Dear Comcast High-Speed Internet Subscriber:
Comcast has received a notification by a copyright owner, or its authorized agent, reporting an alleged infringement of one or more copyrighted works made on or over Comcast's High-Speed Internet service (the 'Service'). The copyright owner has identified the Internet Protocol ('IP') address associated with your Service account at the time as the source of the infringing works. The works identified by the copyright owner in its notification are listed below. Comcast reminds you that use of the Service (or any part of the Service) in any manner that constitutes an infringement of any copyrighted work is a violation of Comcast's Acceptable Use Policy and may result in the suspension or termination of your Service account.
I've researched the web on whether or not I'll get sued (likely will get a demand of payment letter or the like) and typically, first-time offenders receive a warning, but I'm not entirely sure. A gaming company like Zenomax wouldn't go after a John Doe for a 5 year old game right?
I am very worried. What should my parents and I do?
