@MoeBritannica So how was it confirmed? Screenshot of a post that says another guy got a letter?
@MoeBritannica Of the models, ye? How's it confirmed it's trained on CP?
His ISP may have just detected torrents going on and sent him legal threats against piracy for all that post actually says, if the guy that says he got a letter isn't lying, if the guy in the screenshot isn't lying, if the screenshot is real to begin with

@applejack @MoeBritannica afaik, your ISP won't flag you down just for downloading torrents because it's just a p2p connection and those happen often, plus torrents themselves are legal. if you're playing nintendo games online you're gonna' have a p2p connection, for instance. your isp will only send you a letter if there is a hollywood film studio that sends the isp a notice saying that you were pirating their movie, which they find by just looking at all of the IP addresses that are currently downloading the torrent.
@beardalaxy @MoeBritannica ISPs can detect and regularly throttle torrents, they don't discriminate against legal or illegal, most of it's illegal, there's nothing illegal about sending vaguely threatening "piracy is a crime" emails and no reason for them not to do it
It's not just P2P, bittorrent packets have standard headers that people can and do detect. I don't think there's anything preventing them from detecting traffic, getting the metadata, making a list of titles and auto-generating an email like
We have detected Torrent activity of the following content:
* Cunnymancer AI-Training Model
* Season 5 Animedancers
* 50000tb of porn
We would like to remind you of the legal ramifications of pirating and other such crimes. Please refrain
@applejack @MoeBritannica well if that was the case you'd think they'd realize it was an antipiracy letter and not whatever else they got that spooked them
