Ask HN: AT&T Subpoena for Customer Information by IP?

4 points·CS100988··3 comments

Today I received a subpoena from AT&T saying that they had been subpoena'd for my identity due to allegations that there had been mass bittorrent activity from IP. Anyone know what this is in relation to or have a similar experience? The subpoena is about as vague as it gets.

Maybe something related to the Expendables case? http://torrentfreak.com/makers-of-the-expendables-sue-6500-b...

If its vague, get a lawyer to look at it and see if it's valid. If you have a dynamic IP you may ask ATT to prove it was you at the time.

It sounds like someone thinks your internet connection has been used for "mass bittorrent activity".... aka piracy.
