@@ -30,15 +30,28 @@ Dear [ISP]:
Thank you for forwarding me the notice you received from [copyright claimant]
regarding [content]. I would like to assure you that I am not hosting the
claimed infringing materials, and furthermore, the Digital Millennium Copyright
Act's ("DMCA") safe harbors likely protect you from liability arising from this
complaint. The notice is likely based upon misunderstandings about the law and
about some of the software I run.
-As you know, the DMCA creates four "safe harbors" for service providers to
protect them from copyright liability for the acts of their users, when the
ISPs fulfill certain requirements. (17 U.S.C. 512) The DMCA's requirements vary
depending on the ISP's role. You may be familiar with the "notice and takedown"
provisions of section 512(c) of the DMCA; however, those do not apply when an
ISP merely acts as a conduit. Instead, the "conduit" safe harbor of section
512(a) of the DMCA has different and less burdensome eligibility requirements,
as the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals held in RIAA v. Verizon (see
https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=15815830240179540527) and the
Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals confirmed in RIAA v. Charter (see
https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=11547531128234336420).

-Under DMCA 512(a), service providers like you are typically protected from
damages for copyright infringement claims if you also maintain "a policy that
provides for termination in appropriate circumstances of subscribers and
account holders of the service provider's system or network who are repeat
infringers." If you have and implement such a policy, and you otherwise qualify
for the safe harbor, you should be free from fear of copyright damages.

-The copyright notice you received was likely triggered by a program I run
called Tor. Tor is network software that helps users to enhance their privacy,
security, and safety online. It does not host any content. Rather, it is part
of a network of nodes on the Internet that simply pass packets among themselves
before sending them to their destinations, just as any Internet intermediary
does. The difference is that Tor tunnels the connections such that no hop can
learn both the source and destination of the packets, giving users protection
from nefarious snooping on network traffic. The result is that, unlike most
other Internet traffic, the final IP address that the recipient receives is not
the IP address of the sender. Tor protects users against hazards such as
harassment, spam, and identity theft. Initial development of Tor, including
deployment of a public-use Tor network, was a project of the U.S. Naval
Research Laboratory, with funding from ONR and DARPA. (For more on Tor, see
https://www.torproject.org/.) I hope, as an organization committed to
protecting the privacy of its customers, you'll agree that this is a valuable
technology.

-While the Tor node that I run may appear to be the source of material that is
alleged to be copyright-infringing, I do not host that material. I do not
select the material transmitted through the Tor node that I run, and I have no
practical means of either identifying the source of such material or preventing
its transmission. I do nothing to encourage or promote the use of the Tor
network for copyright infringement. For these reasons, I am not an infringer of
copyright in any materials that are transmitted through the Tor node that I
run, either directly or under a theory of contributory or vicarious liability.
Therefore, you should continue to be protected under the DMCA 512(a) safe
harbor without taking any further action.

any further questions.
