“Over the last few months, Google has received more than 100
copyright infringement warnings from MPAA-affiliated movies
studios: most are directed at users of Google’s public Wi-Fi
service but others are meant for Google employees. The MPAA is thus
warning the search giant that it might get disconnected from the
Internet.

“”Copyright infringement also violates your ISP’s terms of
service and could lead to limitation or suspension of your Internet
service. You should take immediate action to prevent your Internet
account from being used for illegal activities,” the movie
companies write in various letters, according to TorrentFreak.
Although the copyright holders use strong language, these notices
are nothing simply warnings, and typically do not lead to legal
action.”
