I'm getting really annoyed at my sisters as they refuse to quit using P2P and are downloading a horrible amount and I don't want to see my parents face huge fines. As much as I have explained that it's illegal and we'll face huge fines they refuse to listen. So now I am going to go for a shock factor. How can I really scare them? I was thinking about a fake E-Mail or phone call from RIAA stating complaints about us downloading. Anyone else got any ideas?

LOL. I think a letter would be good actually. I can put some made up technical jargon that sounds good (eg. IP address and using illegal ports blah blah) to make it sound better. Anyone got any ideas of what I should include?

That might be good as well. If they don't stop after the letter I'll try that.

You never know. It's quite scary, she has atleast 500 songs downloaded (atleast). I have atleast stopped them sharing but it's still a worry
Yewen said:Block the ports, I will point a domain of mine to a webpage you could make saying due to 300,000 P2P users on your sisters favourite P2P being taken to court the P2P company has stopped offering the service and was shocked to find people were using it to distribute illegal files.
Coupled with it no longer working, may shock them into it. Or say your ISP no longer supports it as it is being used mainly for illegal use, and that you have to write to them to re-enable it with the reason why. Also blocking the ports.
Either should work well.
Sounds like a great idea. The only problem is the one she uses many of her friends do, so it'll be a bit funny if ours doesn't yet everyone else's does. I'm just looking what port this P2P uses and seeing how to block it. It's connected to a WGR614v5 router via WiFi, I've done port forwarding but not blocking. I assume it's fairly straight forward?
