Subscribers to the Canadian Internet service provider TekSavvy may soon be receiving a letter in the mail if they've ever illegally downloaded movies using the service.

TekSavvy told customers yesterday that it had received a request by Voltage Pictures LLC, the studio behind The Hurt Locker, to provide the names and contact information of certain customers. Anyone with an IP address that has allegedly engaged in copyright infringement could potentially be part of this request, TekSavvy's press release says.

"Currently, we have not received a court order, only a request for information and a motion for an order," Marc Gaudrault, CEO of TekSavvy said in the press release. "This is unknown territory for Canadians. We have retained legal counsel to help us through the process and ascertain our rights and obligations as an ISP. If you are caught up in one of these actions, you may wish to seek legal advice respecting your own rights."
