Meet Sandy, a girl who was caught downloading CSI: Miami and got disconnected from the Internet by her ISP. And that’s only the beginning of her misfortune.

Flash forward another month and I get notified that I am being prosecuted for copyright infringement. Uh oh. I use the majority of my savings to retain an attorney. He advises me that we should try to cut a deal or I could end up paying millions in fines. I don’t have millions!

My boyfriend decides he doesn’t want to be involved with a criminal and leaves me. He didn’t seem to have a problem when I was downloading music for him. Hypocrite.

The rest of this horror story is posted under the pseudonym Sandy Johnson at a newly created blog. Interestingly all this drama didn’t deter her from using BitTorrent. However, she does TorrentPrivacy to protect herself now.

And that might shed some light on the origin of the author. Sandy is not real nor is the $100,000 fine she mentions. It’s an ad!
