Oh, dear, is there yet another reason I have bad taste?  I'm a fan of
the show.
 
Unless you turn all uploading off, you essentially are running a
public server when using a bittorrent client to connect to a publicly
advertised torrent.  HBO is perfectly within their rights to connect
to the same torrent and collect the IP information and file info that
the torrent client sends out.  

Bob should take the issue up with his friend (who probably just forgot
he was still running the client in the background.  A good reason to
block the relevant ports on your router. I wonder if any businesses
have gotten in hot water with HBO because of employees who bring their
laptops to work.)

Cox must be getting a lot of pressure to be so aggressive now.  They
only sent me an email.
