Q: Copyright infringement notice from ISP after watching trailer in Front Row
I got the shock of my life the other day when I received a copyright infringement notice from my ISP. It seems that Fox did not like the fact that I watched the Black Swan trailer in Front Row. When I checked with my ISP (Verizon,) the email was not a spoof, and there indeed was a copyright infringement notice.
All I could get from Verizon was the assurance that they would not report me to Fox. When I called Apple to complain, all I got was a reassurance that I hadn't done anything illegal.
Since this is an app that I paid for when I bought the computer and the associated software, I was under the impression that the free streamed trailers were legal products.
Now I'm just plain too paranoid to watch a trailer in Front Row after this threatening e-mail!
Has anyone else encountered this?
