-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 well, i think i have good news. although the rep from EFF said that my internet agreement "could be construed to at least cause [me] problems with retaining [my] service, if not to win a lawsuit against [me]" i decided to respond to Qwest's response with the following: - --- I have carefully read the information you've provided and am glad to hear you take DMCA complaints seriously. You will be pleased to know, then, that you are under no liability nor obligation to terminate my internet service simply for receiving such notices. Please continue to read the information I have provided herein which is based on factual records written by lawyers experienced in this area.
<insert EFF legal letter[1]> <a small personal note about switching ISP's to one more concerned about human rights and how Tor helps oppressed peoples in China and Iran> - --- Qwest responds simply with: - --- I understand your response and am familiar with the tor software you are using. Here is a list of the fiels that have been documented as downloaded/uploaded from your conenction which cuased the service to be suspended <list of the Bittorrent files previously mentioned> - --- then i respond with (taking into account some of grarpamp's suggestions): - --- Thanks. I will reiterate that I am not hosting or making available the claimed infringing materials and that you are already protected by the DMCA's safe harbor from any liability arising from such complaints. I have also relayed the same response directly to the complainants. Should any further complaints arrive you may forward them to me to directly process them. As the result of this, I expect the complainant to withdraw said complaints from you (the ISP) in a timely fashion and without interruption to my internet service. - --- and Qwest responds with: - --- I have noted your account accordingly - --- so.... i kind of get the feeling of victory but don't want to take advantage of it by using the default exit policy just yet. i'm going to just try the 'reduced exit policy' for a while 1. https://www.torproject.org/eff/tor-dmca-response.html -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iEYEAREIAAYFAk0QT+IACgkQXhfCJNu98qDujQCfUqAIvGZRMo7dY3dzBy7cfwyR paoAn249eLxI/Jsx7LIymcQOsiIGApx2 =CM3r -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talk in the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
