Could you give us an insite as to what they did to you if you don't mind? its just that i'm still fairly skeptical as to if anything would actually happen about this.
For example, quite a few people are waking up to see an intimidating letter on there doormats from the isp or a record company these days. The aim of these letters is to try and stuff the user with so much legal terminology that they feel forced to settle out of caught with said company for a subsidised amount that they beleve they were going to be sooed for. In actual fact, according to several sources, the letters contain little information that is of substance and anyone who does not respond to the letter is not taken to caught as the letter would have them beleve. I'm not here to debate the ethics of said letters or the ethics of piracy as it would become dreadfully off topic, i'm just trying to ilistrate that at the end of the day, even if it is worded in a business like manner, an email from someone in apple means verry little in the non online world and i'm sure apple have much better things to do than chase after children. I'm not advicating that anyone break the law, I just have a slight dislike for companies that try to bully there customers with legal terminology after they have paid through the nose to purchase one of there products.
