Hello Folks, I have a question to ask you: Do you believe it is advisable to reply to infringement complaints regarding copyrighted material informing the notifying party that the material has been removed from the subscriber's system? I will quote a concern below: "The DMCA does require that we not be a party to infringement and that we as the system operators stop infringement when we are aware of it. But we are not required to 'ACK' that anything illegal here ever happened. Nothing you can say will reduce our liability. What you do say could be used as evidence that we agreed there was a problem and further, that we know who did it. The law doesn't require that we give such assistance." Would the assumption that our liability increases by replying to an infringement notice be correct? Thank you. Regards, Steve
