    Tip: The titles themselves, obviously, are not copyright -
    have they proved that the *content* is copyright, to your
    university? No? Well tell em to "fuck off" then!
    
    Even better replace these files with bogus uncopyrighted
    movies (of same size), and tell the Uni police that the MPAA
    are assholes, and it looks like the MPAA, and the uni,
    could be curtailing your right to free speech.
    
    bla, bla, bla....

     |> 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.
