Earlier today i recieved an email (below) that i have downloaded snakes on a plane through bit torrent...
They know every exact file contained in the torrent and have listed them at the bottom of the email.
How would they know if i had downloaded the files or not and how did they get my IP? Is there a way for this not to happen again, a way i cant be traced or what ever they have done, and has this happened to anyone else?
