Change your contact info with Comcast or you will start getting calls once they release your info, and they will. Don't talk to them. Check out dietrolldie.com for folks in the same situation.

in the future use a private VPN service.

I looked up the docket number, and they want 150,000 per defendant, 20 defendants in total...

Exactly, nothing ever comes of these unless you settle out of fear.

People have won recent cases against the initiators of such suits for harassment, fraud, and extortion. It might be worth chatting with a lawyer and having him or her draft a "Fuck you, very much" letter in response. Courts have ruled recently that an IP address is not a person, and doesn't constitute grounds for a records subpoena, or sufficient identification to file a lawsuit.

Thank you all for your sound advise.

I appreciate it.

The business model of these copyright trolls is to extort money from purported downloaders regardless of their evidence. Do not ignore this issue, it will turn into a judgment against you.

There is a couple of law firms that are representing defendants in these copyright troll lawsuits.

Unfortunately, the District of Colorado is very friendly to these scumbags.
