So recently some people has been getting an ESA Copyright Alert for vanilla warcraft 1.12.1 and it was sent to cablevision to the user, and those people are wondering if something will happen to them, NOTE: it's just a alert some had many for 2 years and here's what they post.
"We are writing as a courtesy to let you know that we have received
notification from one or more owners of copyrights claiming that their
work has been transmitted over the Internet from your account without
their permission. Copyright owners may include motion picture studios,
the recording industry or others who produce or distribute legally
protected material. (Please see enclosed notice(s)). We are concerned
that either you or a person with access to your account may be unknowingly
participating in certain file sharing or server-related activities that
led to this complaint.

We consider you a valued customer, so we wanted to let you know that if
the copyright holder pursues this claim, or if there are additional
claims, it could lead to legal action against you. We may be required by
law to release private information about you and to suspend, or even
terminate, your service. We want to help you prevent this from happening.

We regret having to send notices like this, and we do not wish to alarm
you unnecessarily, but we have a responsibility to advise you of any
notices concerning your account."

Looks like a standard email or letter you would get from your ISP when you download something another company wouldnt want you to. Similar to torrenting movies, anime, music etc.

http://www.peerblock.com/ Download, run, enjoy those "copyright owners" not being able to sniff your seeds. client to server isn't the issue. That letter would have been sent if you are using a p2p network and Blizz/Activision sniffers have that seed tagged.
