    Default Anti Piracy Group Urging Me to Settle $4000 Out of Court

    I have been contacted saying that I am liable under 18 USC § 1030 for "claims of negligence, aiding and abetting, and civil conspiracy" to gain files from a pornography hub out of state. I have a protected WI-FI router and I don't use Peer to peer to download or distribute pornography. What else should I have done to protect my internet? Could someone use my IP address to masquerade as me and do illegal activities? If I submit my hard drive to look for anything relating to this case, could they prosecute me on anything that may be illegal not relating to this case? (I'm not really sure what is illegal and what isn't anymore).

    Also any way to disassociate myself from this lawsuit would be very much appreciated.

    Generally speaking, the only proof it appears they have at the moment is that someone using your router is complicit. What did this person do exactly?

    You have been contacted by whom? Google the name of the company and see if they're one of the shake-down outfits that make lots of threats but rarely to never follow throught.

    We're not in a position to review your network security.
