This taken from a friend posting in a forum I frequent.
"I recieved this e mail approximately an hour after I posted a CD to a usenet group. The complete e mail shows that the actual webmaster for the
band\'s site was the one that picked this up real quick like & notified my ISP. Just a little proof that everything you do is watched."
"Dear Customer,
We are writing on behalf of Cox Communications to advise you that we have received a notification that you are using your Cox High Speed Internet
service to post or transmit material that infringes the copyrights of a complainant\'s members. I have enclosed a copy of the complaint letter. Pursuant
to the provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), which is codified at 17 U.S.C. § 512, upon receiving such notification, Cox is
required to “act expeditiously to remove, or disable access to” the infringing material in order to avoid liability for any alleged copyright infringement.
Accordingly, Cox will suspend your account and disable your connection to the Internet within 24 hours of your receipt of this email if the offending
material is not removed.
Please be aware that the DMCA also provides procedures by which a subscriber accused of copyright violation can respond to the allegations of
infringement and, under certain circumstances, cause his or her account to be reinstated. To do so, however, the response must meet certain criteria.
Pursuant to section (g) of the DMCA (17 U.S.C. § 512(g)), you have the right to submit to Cox a counter-notification which, to be effective, must
include the following elements:
(a) a physical or electronic signature of the subscriber;
(b) identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it
was removed or disabled;
(c) a statement under penalty of perjury that the subscriber has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or
misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled;
(d) the subscriber’s name, address, and telephone number and a statement that the subscriber consents to the jurisdiction of the Federal District
Court for the judicial district in which the address is located.
In the event that you submit to Cox a counter-notification that includes these elements, Cox will forward your counter notification to the complainant
and advise them that Cox will cease disabling access to the allegedly infringing material in ten (10) business days. Unless the complainant notifies us
that it has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain you from engaging in the allegedly infringing activity prior to the expiration of those ten (10)
business days, Cox will reactivate your account.
Sincerely,
The Cox Abuse Team"
