About 2 months ago, I get a letter from charter, accusing me of downloading several episodes of Boardwalk Empire, which I didn't do. I've never even seen the show, and really have no interest in it. I really have no defense against it, since how can you prove you didn't do something, especially when at the time I didn't even have my computer set up at my apartment at the time they claimed it happened (I had just moved). It is pretty much my word verses theirs.

Exactly and with the courts already on their side, there is little consumers can do. This is the problem as far as I'm concerned.
