EA Spying on bittorrent, sending notices

     Piracy
bigbrother.jpg A loyal Destructoid reader sent word about a nasty little run-in he just had with his ISP regarding some questionable downloading habits not uncommon among gamers:
"I'm not sure if this has been shown anywhere else, I certainly wasn't aware of it. I had thought it was just giant organizations like RIAA and MPAA that were watching Bittorrent. But if it was going to be any game company, it was going to be EA. I got a letter from my ISP this morning (Comcast) informing me that EA had sent them the IP address of my network as downloading a torrent of NHL 07. I haven't heard of them suing anyone yet, but they're keeping an eye on it apparently."
It will be interesting to see how this plays out in coming weeks. Remember kids, big brother is watching.
