Why am I here?
You are seeing this page because we have received a notification from the owner of a copyright protected work that you are distributing their work without permission.
In plain english…
You have probably downloaded a film using bit torrent and the bit torrent application you used is now sharing the film with other internet users. You may not even be aware that the bit torrent app does this as it is normally turned on by default.
I have not!!
The name of the film will be on the notes on the My Account page so it is worth a check.
What has SoldierNET done about it?
Your Internet access has been limited. You will be disconnected from the Internet after a very short period and whilst you are connected your connection speeds will be severely restricted.
How do I get the limitations removed?
