You need to read the Digital Millenium Copyright Act. Cox has no choice but to comply with the MPAA/copyright.org demand for decisive action to stop the distribution of the allegedly-pirated intellectual property. There's no way that Cox can be said to have violated privacy in this situation unless they gave out the identity of the accused without a court order compelling the release of that information. http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/hr2281.pdf Also look here: http://www.loc.gov/copyright/onlinesp/ -----Original Message----- From: SlyFly007at_private [mailto:SlyFly007at_private] Sent: Wednesday, July 10, 2002 11:51 AM To: ktylerat_private; vuln-devat_private Subject: Re: [7.8.2002 44916] Notice of Copyright Infringement] That is completely lame. I understand that Cox has the right to monitor, yet...I hope Cox realizes that people use high speed internet for a variety of large downloads. If an action like this is continued by Cox and the relation with the DMCA, looks like they are going to have a lot of angry customers for an invasion of privacy.
