tell them it was a virus that down loaded it.

[FeelGood]

yeah I agree with Crazy Dave, tell them your machine was infected with a lot of viruses and deny that you ever downloaded that movie.

[FeelGood]

wow I've never seen Telus bitch about bandwidth or about abuse or copyright infringement.

what movie did you download and using what program?

[charly]

the email was sent to my dad (since it's the account is in his name) and i don't think he even replied.

they've yet to bitch about bandwidth (and i use plenty, especially between 3 comps) it's just this.
i'm not even really sure who would complain though.

it was just a movie i downloaded using bittorrent. which i never even watched since it turned out to be in spanish, and not english.

eh, i download music/movies all the time. first time this has happened. hah
