anyone had one yet?

Received my first ever Take Down notice from my ISP today... 
so I guess that means no more uploading then
these seedboxes seem strange though - I dont see how anyone thinks they are any safer. Sure, its not your dsl connections that gets terminated, but it doesn't mean they won't take you to court (if they felt the urge).

What sort of figures were you d/l or u/l ?
an amount so small I was surprised it even managed to register - someone could well have downloaded "Men Who Stare At Goats" on Sat night whilst my AP was an opennode...Complaint came from BayTSP.
Full filename - in case anyone fancied downloading it (don't!):
The Men Who Stare At Goats 2009 R5 LINE H264-SecretMyth (Kingdom-Release)
Infringed File Size: 1509483061 bytes (1.41G)
really why do they bother.
Just pay for a cheap 5 dollar a month vps account somewhere (outside the uk/us), d/l or u/l all you content there and the just use SFTP/ssh (secure ftp) to download to you local computer. no way they can detect that!.
so many services are gonna pop up for this, actually maybe i should ......

I didn't know such things existed! Blimey!
I didn't think I'd ever get a Take Down notice. It would appear that they are going about it by focusing on the uploaders - and a lot of people out there upload whilst they are downloading, and then once they have finished downloading, remove the torrent. I guess they figure that by doing this, there will eventually be no uploaders left.ukwill said:

Is that a tracker style thing then - I can't think what the right word is, but is it a "trap" - that particular file?
Yes. Even though I was running a fully updated version of PG2. http://www.peerblock.com/

Did the ISP give out your details to some 'technology lawyer' company.
Urgh, I ranted at IC about this recently.
In the mail Zen stated that they would not provide customer details to any 3rd party without an appropriate court order.Urgh, I ranted at IC about this recently.
I'm on Zen too and had one a couple of years ago for a rather 'film like' linux .iso
Stopped the upload, switched to https nntp servers and have heard nowt else since.
It's just the unfortunate side effect of a static IP IMO. Zen get the takedown notice and simply pass it on to the customer.

So is this notice just asking you to stop sharing it.
You stop sharing and then they don't worry about it anymore?
Basically yes. All of the cases I've seen turn up in the news where people have been taken to court are people who have allowed stuff to be uploaded, as once you upload something, technically you have committed the offence of reproducing copyrighted material.You stop sharing and then they don't worry about it anymore?
