Hi xxxxxxx,
Your Virgin Media account number: 78xxxxxxxx
Your Virgin Media area reference: xx
Virgin Media, along with other internet service providers, is supporting the Get It Right from a
Genuine Site campaign – a government-backed initiative that helps people access the content they
want from legitimate sources.
The Get It Right from a Genuine Site campaign has contacted us on behalf of owners of
copyrighted material, who believe their content may have been shared using your internet account
without their permission. The content could be anything that is copyrighted, such as films, TV
shows, sports events or music.
This is the second time a notification has been sent to you. You'll probably have questions
about why you are being contacted again and what it means, which this email will help to answer. It
will also help you find genuine content and prevent the sharing of copyrighted material on your
account in the future.
_______________

Why am I being emailed?
We are sending you this educational email because you are the main account holder. The sharing
of copyrighted material may not be something you did personally, but it was carried out using your
broadband connection.

publishers and broadcasters routinely monitor file-sharing networks to see if their copyright
protected content is being made available and shared without their permission. If they notice an

Internet Protocol (IP) address sharing their content (e.g. music, movies, books, games, sports
broadcasts and other TV shows) without their permission, they let us know and we contact the
broadband account holder associated with that IP address.
Has Virgin Media shared my account information?
We do not share any information that identifies who you are with the Get It Right from a Genuine
Site campaign or any of the content owners. We do, however, provide anonymous reports to the
Get It Right from a Genuine Site campaign to show the effectiveness of this awareness campaign.
We have included your account information in this email to help you confirm that it is a genuine
message from Virgin Media, but it has not been passed on.
What should I do now?
Please take steps, if required, to secure your wireless network and make sure no-one who is
authorised to use your broadband connection is infringing copyright. This could include using
file-sharing networks (often called peer-to-peer networks) to download and/or share copyrighted
content without permission.
You can get more information about finding genuine content from Get It Right from a Genuine Site.

Kind regards,
