A friend of a friend of mine got a similar email, except it stated their IP, what they were downloading and when.

When they called into rogers they said (paraphrased) "ya we by law have to notify you. I myself download torrents but if it happens a 2nd or maybe a 3rd time we are required to shut off your internet"

The problem is the 'uploading' part of your 'activities'

Technically speaking, while you were BT downloading 'stuff', you were also 'distributing' (uploading/sharing) 'stuff' ... this violates the ISP agreement between Rogers and you.

Yup, I believe you should see the details (file(s), time, IP ... etc) in the same email ...

However, if you don't BT, there's a bigger problem ... someone may be 'sharing' your internet connection wirelessly ...
