What does it mean by sharing what tho, pirated content?

well read the letter
How hard would it be to prove it?
Sharing means receiving and giving right, so would that make it equal responsibility for parties involved?

All I see is a generic copyright notice which all ISPs have been giving out since bittorrent existed. Solution? Don't pirate, or if you do, use a VPN that allows P2P or just use private trackers.

Omg sky pisses me off so much off,
They earn billions,
Have unfair prices of 50€ a month and wonder why some people try to watch it for free... Sky logic

I'm not looking for a solution thank you, it's not my letter.
It just seems very much like Civil matters and grey area, that could easily be got out of, or easily be prosecuted for, depending on what you say.
I'm guessing it would be very hard to prove if you plead the fifth.

I would just like to add its not unheard of innocent people being prosecuted. We all have a right of freedom and to do things which do not harm others in a malicious or threatening way.

Praise the god of fire and move to Iceland

*praises the god of fire*
*moves to iceland*
The god of fire I guess must not be very happy.

Use one of those pirate firewalls if your going to "share" lol

Peerblock is the last one I remember using, it might still be good?

It's not 100% and a VPN would be better but if you have no money Peerblock or something like it is free.

Yes, sharing is illegal. In most places, when it comes to piracy, it's the sharing that's the larger offence.

Downloading isn't always super serious, but uploading is. The uploader causes more damage than the downloader.
