Legal Process
Pre-lawsuit settlement option.
Notification e-mail to the infringer.

begins.

“Evidence” the industry has:
Name, size, and type of file shared
Dates and times that they find the
infringement (down to the second)
P2P network that was used
Bit Torrent, edonkey, limewire
Protocol or client used

What are we doing?
Education/communication campaign.
Bandwidth limiting for housing only.
Disable network access – ONLY after P2P
traffic is verified. (packet content is not
examined)
Service restored only after visiting Steve
Scott or one of his ISO people.
Very few repeat offenders, but this may
not matter to the industry.
