Last night a contributor of MSFN from Sweden sent a very interesting mail to the editors, containing a legal notice telling him that he has been monitored sharing copyright protected files over the sharing program 'Direct Connect'.

The letter has been composed by the Director of Enforcement from Mediaforce in New York. The Director of Enforcement wrote this letter on behalf of New Line Cinema Corporation, a division of AOL Time Warner ("New Line"). IP, downloading time and username were also included in the letter.

This is one of the first real evidences that big media companys like AOL Time Warner behalf divisions, which monitor the sharing networks for copyright violation.
