That's rubbish, they don't know what you are converting and as far as I know it's not illegal to watch stuff on youtube, it's on youtube to take it down if it's copyright.

How do they know what program you're using on your computer?
They might know what you're watching, but not what you're doing with what you watch.

They don't know you've been converting songs and there's no point in chasing people up for that because the quality is so bad.

Are you sure they've got a list of what you've downloaded, any other people I can see are just getting general letters.

My mate got sued something like £440 by some small time music producer because he downloaded a track from a torrent site.
