kudos:5 | Profit Model 1. Sign "Some Studio" as a customer
2. Put up FTP servers and HTTP servers that you own and spam links to them, seed current P2P networks, put up search engines that lead to NNTP network
3. Send a DMCA notice to anyone clicking on a link leading to a download, showing up as a peer on a P2P list, or otherwise -- regardless of whether a download completed)
4. Collect $$$$ from the gullible
Reactions: It's the ISPs that are being exploited.
A. ISP ought to charge a handling fee for handling a DMCA notice. Once this happens, the business goes under.
B. ISPs cannot assume that a DMCA notice means a violation of any kind has occurred. There are several reasons that this is true -- not the least of which is the fact that Nexicom itself will appear in swarms and they're not infringing.
C. Some might think of this as turning infringers into customers, but the money paid isn't a license to keep sharing it. You don't own it after you pay the money. It's some kind of pre-litigation settlement.

said by funchords:1. Sign "Some Studio" as a customer Knowing it's probably a penny stock AND email scam, I bet not. Why bother? What guarantee is there that any studio will honor the "amnesty"?

Or just didn't care about. How is the ISP supposed to know whether the notice comes from the legitimate owner of the material? Of course this is all assuming they actually start operation and it's not ONLY a stock scam. |

| Some ISPs and colleges do charge fees for DMCA compliance. The problem is who they charge said fees to - the customer, not the instigator, where it should be applied.
The other thing, and I've said this before, is that no machine can definitively say that a file named "Dark Knight 1080p.wmv" is actually the movie itself rather than a bunch of junk data, a news broadcast, or something else than what it's named. You can't even match byte-for-byte, because of the different resolutions, metadata, etc. present in a file. Unless they can prove that the file transmitted IS a copyrighted file, they (should) have nothing, period. |

ISPs should charge $2,500 per DMCA notice to the sender. call it a filing and research fee. Fee would only be waved if the notice was issued by a court local to the customer or a federal court that district.
