1) the email received doesn't include the said infringed item if any in question it just say to log into the customer portal (red flag in my mind)
2)ever since the last time I've stayed away from torrents (even legal like linux distros) since the last time, I only downloaded one (the TWL FW files directly from 3ds.guide to fix DS mode on my O2ds since then if I ever pirated I used file hosters or private servers from certain wares sites
3)about the TWL files the letter was timestamped at 10:40AM EST the dl initiated after 11am
so somethings not adding up
also my internet was never cut off this time so that perplexed me more
