Hello,
Has anyone seen a copy of the following email? Furthermore, has it been determined which ISP services create a legal or equitable liability for the ISP? God help us if providing transport to an FTP site counts as one of the offending services. I guess it's time to turn on NBAR at the edge routers.
This is clearly Big Brother at it's finest and a prime example of John Stuart Mill's "Tyranny of the Majority." I apply Mill's logic here because I doubt that the anti-DMCA crowd is packing the halls of Congress with the rabid fervor that the pro-DMCA crowd has. I hope that this is not the case!
Respectfully yours, Christopher Wolff, CIO Broadband Labs
I have seen e-mail similar to the one you have. Without knowing more about the service you provide, where the notice came from, and with much of the content <<removed>> it's pretty hard to tell if it meets the requirements of a DMCA notice or not. If it does meet the requirements of a DMCA notice follow the procedure - it's spelled out pretty well. It becomes something of a gray area if you are dealing with a dialup user running servers since you do not have control of the server. Mark Radabaugh Amplex (419) 720-3635
