Received a mail like......your IP address has been identified as distributing copyrighted content?

It's mostly (99%) a virus. Which effect your computer speed and sometimes send your computer information to other hackers. I would suggest

1. Don't try to open it.

2. Mark it as Spam.

3. Change your account password. Make it more difficult by adding symbols or number in it.

If you keep on receiving these type of mails, contact yahoo help center and inform them about it, they will definitely solve this problem for you.

I hope it helped you.

its a fake email and also the attachment is a virus

In the email click to see the full headers

here you will get the actual email address of the sender

from Return-Path: xxxxxxx at aol.com

Now put this email address in the Spam Blocker in Yahoo Mail Options

hereby we notify you that your IP address has been identified as distributing copyrighted content. Please see the attachment to this message for illicit Internet traffic details.

Failure to respond to this message within 14 days will result in copyright infringement accusation and standard legal procedures. mine was from LannyTarboro@riaa.com, i was allowed to download it but its just crap. Do you guys think its real or what?

Fake, the main clue is the attachment. Nobody legit that is notifying anyone of anything includes an attachment. They'd just put the info in the text of the email.

Second clue is how would they get your email address?

The sender can make you think that the email is coming from riaa website. Probably your spam filter is weak.
