Voluntary notice-and-notice. Mostly automated based on ACNS reports that the majority do. Haven't really dealt any takedowns. On 13-06-04 06:44 PM, Landon wrote:
Hello,
I'm wondering how other Canadian Hosting Providers handle copyright and trademark complaints about customers on their network. I'm thinking of just handling them the same as a DMCA notification should be handled but since there's no forced takedown provisions in the Canadian copyright act (that I know of?) it's difficult to say what is better. I'd kind of like if our customers could enjoy some freedom from the sledgehammer of the DMCA *but* still being subject to copyright and trademark infringement laws of course. I have to admit - this is my ignorance. I'm quite familiar with the DMCA and the litigation that usually ensues during american trademark infringement already but not Canadian copyright laws or trademark laws.
I do intend to consult with a real lawyer about this eventually but I want to have intelligent questions or suggestions before that happens.
Also how are trademark infringement issues handled differently than copyright issues in Canada?
