Well, last night i decided to download the series of hawaii 5-0 due to having a new born, and been up through most of the night.
I opted to use torrent instead of usenet, as its just easier for finding the right files.
For the first time since ive been on a pc ( and i have in the past downloaded lots of things) i receive this email from my ISP...

On June 8th 2010, the UK Government passed a cross party bill, which is called the "Digital Economy Act 2010". Since this date, it has been illegal to download and distribute copyright infringed material via all mediums, including the Internet. The "Digital Economy Act 2010" also gives powers to fine and prosecute, via Court Order, those who seek not to adhere to notices from ISPs.
ISPs, such as Aquiss, are obligated under this Act to inform our customers when we receive a notice against an account. We are also further obligated, once a customer has received 3 notices, to suspend an account.
Please advise, by replying to this email, when this file has been removed.

It says distribution of copyright works, so im assuming its because it had been seeded as well as downloaded?
