The Entertainment Software Association ("ESA") is the U.S. trade association that represents the intellectual property interests of companies that publish interactive games for video game consoles, personal computers, handheld devices, and the Internet (hereinafter collectively referred to as "ESA members"). A list of ESA members can be found at https://www.theesa.com/about-esa/#membership. Under penalty of perjury, we affirm that the information contained in this notice is accurate, and ESA is authorized to act on behalf of ESA members whose exclusive copyright rights we believe to have been infringed as described below.
ESA is providing this notice pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), 17 U.S.C. § 512, to request that you take immediate action with respect to infringement of ESA member copyrighted works by your Subscriber.
Using the IP address on the date and time referenced in the subject line of this notice, the Subscriber or someone using their account employed a peer-to-peer service or software to distribute one or more infringing copies of ESA members' games.

Additional details about Subscriber’s infringing activities are included in Exhibit A attached hereto. Courts in the United States have held consistently that the unauthorized distribution of copyrighted works using peer-to-peer or similar services constitutes copyright infringement. E.g., MGM Studios, Inc. v. Grokster, Ltd., 545 U.S. 913 (2005); BMG Music v. Gonzalez, 430 F.3d 888, 891 (7th Cir. 2005); Arista Records LLC v. Lime Group LLC, 2010 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 46638, *49 (S.D.N.Y. May 11, 2010).

This Subscriber should understand clearly that there are serious consequences for infringement. The US Copyright Act provides for statutory damages of up to $30,000 per work infringed, and up to $150,000 per work for willful infringement. See 17 U.S.C. § 504(c).

Now my ISP gave me a sticky IP address when i reset the modem the IP still the same. I'm probably watched by the law and the sharks out there i can't change the IP anymore.
