Question A Message from Road Runner - Copyright Notice

Anyone ever get these? Can anything bad happen from it? I've gotten one or two before, and nothing comes of it.

I try and get on the net and instead of the site I'm trying to get to, I get this message, I click that bottom link and then I can go back on the net again...

A Message from Road Runner



2nd RoadRunner Copyright Notice



I am aware of this issue and will take steps to resolve it.

Dear Subscriber:

Road Runner Customer Care is sending you this notice because we have received a complaint
from a content owner that your computer has been used to distribute copyrighted material (music,
movies, computer software and/or television programs) without authorization through a peer-to-peer
program. This is at least the second complaint we have received from a content owner about your
account. Our last notice to you was sent by email.

As we explained to you in our earlier email, in addition to being illegal, peer-to-peer
trafficking in copyrighted works violates the Road Runner terms of service. It is therefore
extremely important that you inspect your computer for peer-to-peer programs, and ensure that you
are not - - either intentionally or inadvertently - - making copyrighted works available for
uploading by others. RoadRunner has a policy of terminating the accounts of repeat copyright
offenders, and we do not wish to lose you as a valued customer.

For information on the problems associated with peer-to-peer file sharing, please follow
this link: http://research.pestpatrol.com/white...p2p_impact.asp.

If you use the Windows OS, the best way to remove peer-to-peer programs is through the
Add/Remove Programs tool. Other removal options are discussed at
http://security.uchicago.edu/peer-to...ileshare.shtml.

In order to gain access to your Road Runner account and the Internet, please click on the
hyperlink at either the top or the bottom of this page. Please be aware that the next time we
receive a similar complaint about your account, you will have to call us to regain Internet access.

Thank you for subscribing to Road Runner. We look forward to having you as a customer for
years to come.

Very truly yours,


Road Runner Customer Care
