Ah; thanks for the distinction - Xfinity is the person I get the letters from, tho... I know that bit.

I've only recieved two - one when I was dumb and one just after I moved and didn't have opsec in place.

Yeah, that's kinda what I was suspecting is happening. Xfinity COULD just hand
over your info to those "authorized by IP holders" people (I call them
lawyers), but instead they send you a letter that they got a DMCA notice.

I'm still thinking _they_ don't actually check your torrent traffic.

Not that some/other ISPs don't!
