Elliot B. Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Could you guys perhaps help me knock up a fake "stop downloading illegal music from YouTube" letter by any chance? I don't mind whether it looks like it's from the ISP or a copyright theft fighting organisation, it just needs to sound decent (didn't have to be mega legit sounding). Basically I live with strangers in a shared house and the older guy upstairs keeps hassling me to get him music from YouTube (he has no idea how to use computers, he's 40 and had been in jail 15 years of his life). This is just to stop him asking this (I can't keep making up excuses and there are reasons I can't just say no to him). Hope some of you guys understand my predicament and reasoning :$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliot B. Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 Are you a man or a mouse? He's been in prison for a long time and he's from a rough part of London. It's all he's asked me for since moving here. It's the easiest way out without causing tension in the house as it won't be my fault, it will be the ISPs/copyright people.

Anibal P Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Letters won't do any good, manning up and giving a straight NO and not giving him an angle will get him off your back, and if your flatmates get ######, that's their problem, not yours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliot B. Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 Or just tell him you have limited bandwidth and it's costing you to download them. Shared house Internet connection, provided by the letting agents as part of the rent that everyone pays. He doesn't have a computer of his own. Anyway, it'll all be sorted now, thank you everyone :) Charisma 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
