Hi,

today I receive message from my internet provider:
============

We have received a complaint in connection with the below-pasted details
from HBO regarding materials contained in the specified web site that are
infringing upon the claimant's intellectual property rights.

We are required by federal law to act expeditiously in removing or disabling
access to the infringing materials. We therefore strongly recommend that you
immediately remove the infringing materials.

Please note that under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, you have the
right to file a "counter-notice" claiming that either (a) the Claimant is
wrong and that the Infringing Material is lawfully posted on the Web Site or
(b) that the Infringing Material has been misidentified. We encourage you to
review the procedures for filing a counter-notice which you can send back to
us.

Please note that Linode has only passed on the the Claimant's notice and has
not sought to determine whether the Infringing Materials on the Web Site do
indeed infringe upon the Claimant's intellectual property rights.

Infringing Work: True Blood
First Found: 23 Dec 2008 01:07:20 EST (GMT -0500)

IP Address: xxxxx
Protocol: BitTorrent
Torrent InfoHash: 38FD5A67F34ACC3DFCC800779DA0C15F512343AF
Containing file(s):
True.Blood.S01E01.HDTV.XviD-0TV.avi.torrent (577,450,090 bytes)

=============

I dont know, what I exactly should do, because I like running Tor exit node.

My response to provider was in mind of "Tor client cannot act as server, so
it is technically impossible to share bittorent thru Tor". This record above
about sharing is probably from any bittorent tracker, because if any client
will try to connect my server with bittorent protocol, it will fail.

I wrote to provider, that I stopped my Tor node until it will be clear, but
I need any help from you, if there is any good practice.

Thanks,
Marek
