Damn, I hate when I receive a letter from my ISP because I downloaded a Linux distro.
You joke, but I'm 100% sure it has happened at least once before.
I got a "warning" from my isp because i installed a VM on my pc.
I wonder if I'll get a letter some day, for downloading Linux Mint. Though torrenting itself is perfectly legal here, the important part is the content that's being torrented
It actually happened to me many moons ago. The Canadian ISP in question sent me an email saying that torrenting was "of disputed legality"(or something) and that someone in my house had torrented Ubuntu! I wish I still had the email but this was mid/late 2000's.
