I have gotten six copyright notices from Verizon FIOS and I do not know what happens after the six strike. Most of my strikes are the same file, I guess they caught me seeding it or something. My internet got slowed for a bit at the 5th and 6th strike. I know I really need a VPN but broke and no job. What is the worst you have gotten from the six strikes system?

I heard they cut your dick off.
What if you don't have a dick?
Shame. ^^^happens
Ding Ding
they cut of my internet connection until i watched a video on the harms of piracy.
verizon or some other ISP? Which one?
Att uverse srry
after how many times did you have to watch the video?
First strike
did you share the video ?
fuck, no. sigh. should I have and why
I'm on the same boat man, but with att. Got my fourth strike last week, had to read a few paragraphs and take a short quiz. Not sure what will happen if I get more alerts. I need to invest into a vpn asap
Me too VPN is the way I guess.
Get Private Internet Access for like 3 months (using their PayGarden gift card exchange service if you don't want to use a credit card) and give it a shot. That's what I did and I've never gotten a notice from Charter. You get like 30 servers from various countries and it's hella fast. Not too expensive either.
The problem is I'm broke thanks for the info.
Can't afford a $25 gift card? Jesus man how are you on the Internet? And use vpnbook or justfreevpn if you want a free service, but they'll be much less secure, abysmally slow, and an inconvenience to setup with constantly changing passwords. Glad I could help, jackass.
It seems with comcast anyways from what i think i know if you don't torrent anything within 6 months the strike goes away similar to how youtube does it, I sometime early last year downloaded a movie and got a email about a copyright strike and if i get more it could terminate my service so i laid low for 6 months then boom GTA 5 comes out and i torrent it cause i already own it on my PS3 and was like i wanna see what this first person is all about and got a copyright strike on it seems they got me twice on the same torrent for some reason cause i got 2 emails on it.
But i think it depends cause i've torrented other games since then like Lego Jurassic World,Dead Space 3 and Company of heroes 2 and a couple movies and for some reason never got a email about those, but it could be cause those torrents i downloaded weren't being watched unlike the other ones.
But it does get scary when you open your email and see Comcast has sent you a strike kinda puts your heart in your throat unless you're like the guy in the comments that has 15+ LOL.
I only torrent my games and movies cause i am a hard working person with bills,car and house payment an at the end of the day i don't have 60 dollars for every new game that comes out or 14 dollars+ my girlfriend to see a movie.
Jurassic world torrent must have awful quality, it just came out. Verizon seems to be doing things different than most ISPs. If you torrent a game can you play online? Particularly GTA V I'm just wondering.
Um i wasn't talking about the movie Jurassic world i was more or less talking about the Lego game that came out for it, but with GTA 5 no you can't play online but the whole singleplayer is open to play i only torrented it to see what the First person in the newer version was like since i wasn't going to drop 60 more dollars on it.
Fair enough.
Three strikes, TWC, got smart. No strikes since 2010.
2010 they started?
I think that's when it was, maybe earlier. I got the email warnings, then the cutoff with a notice. Everything was already automated with TED by then. I didn't really browse the internet. I just noticed that the TV stopped updating so I checked google and got a DNS redirect.

15+ strikes already: DNS hijacking to a ISP specific website, the first 2 times it's just a basic piracy is bad kind of thing (ISP webpage) where you click that you understand and it automatically reconnects your internet. 3rd time + is DNS hijacking, HAVE TO call them to listen to their bullshit, then they reconnect. Haven't gotten past that yet so stay tuned.
Verizon?
Nah son, Cox Communications. You really think Verizon would keep me around after 15+ strikes?
True Verizon slows you down after the 4th strike.
