Dear Owen, Would you please describe this some how more in my bussiness plan? I have both limited and unlimited users. For example I have these services in my package: 512Kb-5GB-1Month 256Kb-Unlimit-1Month And like this.

The thing that muddies this is that, as I understand it, the notice was not for takedown (i.e. there is not an allegation that they are *hosting* infringing material) - it is a notice that one of their users *downloaded* copyrighted material (IP, do I have that right?) This is part of the RIAA's "graduated response" program, to which several major ISPs, including AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast, have agreed. Basically, the accuser contacts the ISP, and the ISP sends a warning (a "copyright alert") to their user (without giving up the user to the accuser). If the same user is accused subsequently, they get another, sterner warning. In total there is a series of six warnings, with "mitigation measures" accompanying the fifth and sixth warning. If I were counseling an ISP - whether one that was part of the agreement, or not - I would say that the first order is to *put your policy around copyright alerts in writing* - asap - and make it as specific as possible - and then *ALWAYS FOLLOW IT EVERY SINGLE TIME*. It almost (I say almost) doesn't matter what the policy is so long as it's reasonable, but it matters that it be followed to the letter every time, no exceptions. And, if you are an ISP that isn't part of the agreement with the RIAA, it's still not a bad idea to structure your policy to follow the six "copyright alert" structure, because there is some precedent there, and then you come off looking like you are trying to do the right thing, which will make you a less easy target.

I will look at that in more depth. We provide true multi-homing across providers (usually what we find most people mean when they say BGP) and v6 to the home via LISP. The traffic can be configured for load sharing across links or as an active/passive configuration. We announce the aggregates into the DFZ.

Consult a local lawyer if you don't find them sufficiently > obvious. Note: the DMCA, and 'takedown notices' associated therewith apply to contet that an ISP customer is 'publishing' by public display on the Internet. The OP is getting notices that someone with an IP address in a netblock 'belonging' to the ISP he operates is _downloading_ content that 'someone else' [more than one such entity, in all probability, given that it's bittorrent, and presumably exteral to the OP's netblock(s)] is doing the 'publishing' addressed by the DMCA, and the 'safe harbor' provisions for ISPs. I'm NOT SURE whether the ISP has any potential liability in _this_ situation -- there's nothing 'published' by their customer for them to 'take down', etc. However, the *only* reasonable/rational recommedation that can be made to the OP is "consult competent professional legal counsel in *your* jurisdiction." It is virtully a requirement to do this on a "paid", "commercial", "lawyer-client" basis, and to get the 'opinion' _in_writing_, so that *if* the advice received (and which was followed) turns out 'after the fact' to be incorrect, one has recourse aginst the lawyer's malpractice insurance (to make one whole, as far as the 'detrimental reliance' on the opinion that was proven to be incorrect). *I* would be tempted to respond, *once*, to the issuer of such notices, to the effect that customemr info is disclosed only upon receipt of a valid court subpoena, and the 'records production' costs are $$/hr, with an $xx minimum. And, if they persited in the FUD notices, I would explicitly *block* the source (not 'discard', but actively block -- so that they have 'actual notice' of non-delivery). I *WOULD*, however, take my own advice, and pay a competent lawyer for a consultation, BEFORE actually doing anything of the sort. <grin> ------------------------------ Message: 7 Date: Wed, 22 Aug 2012 23:43:12 +0430 From: Shahab Vahabzadeh <sh.vahabzadeh(a)gmail.com> To: aj(a)sneep.net Cc: nanog(a)nanog.org Subject: Re: Fair Use Policy Message-ID: <CAGqGmqY1ea-oEYWU_wC+D+_ZJsz4KL3dz8iFAAOKJT-xg=E2jQ(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 I am using Cisco 7206 VXR with NPE-G2 as my BRAS's.

What I am talking mostly is some services like COA, in which you can change users shape time-base and periodically without disconnecting them.

Dear Owen, As you know in pick time of internet usage like midnight in which we have free-access times too, some users which really want to use internet for their daily usage and not downloading or using peer-to-peer services unfairly affecting this problem. Some companies are using some polices for users to solve this problem. Do you have any Idea?
