[gnso-rap-dt] How AT&T handles copyright abuse complaints

[George Kirikos <icann+rap@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

There was an interesting article in CNET yesterday, in regards to how
AT&T handles copyright complaints as an ISP:

http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-10204514-93.html

""AT&T is not going to suspend or terminate anyone's policy without a
court order."

"We're not a finder of fact and under no circumstances would we ever
suspend or terminate service based on an allegation from a third
party."

"What we do is send notices and keep track of violations and IP
addresses," Cicconi said. "It's our view that any stronger action has
got to rest with the copyright owner...That's what the courts are
there for."

Sincerely,

George Kirikos
