Re: After the last couple of requests from RIAA said by AnonNutter :
We told them that they should submit a $50.00 payment in advance of each request. .... It takes time to analyze the logs, and that is time that could be spent more profitably on our own work load.
seems too cheap, you should ask for $5K min to do do this. 1. the actual time may vary
2. the person could be doing other productive work
3. you should run each request past a legal team to make sure that there have not been any changes to the law or new court cases that have changed the 'prescient' and request certification that the 'proof' that they used to request it in the first place is legally obtained. | | |

| Actually, this is exactly what we told them:
Dear Sir or Madam;
Regarding the case identification number in the subject line of this message, we have identified the user and will council that user, per our acceptable use policy and your request.
Please be advised that these requests cause us to have one of our outrageously paid engineers spend time tracing and analyzing log data. This particular request took approximately twenty minutes to service. At $150.00 per hour you can see that time costs mount up quickly. Therefore if you feel it necessary to further tax our system to accomplish your goals kindly remit a fee of $50.00 per request, otherwise we will not be able to satisfy your need.
Mind you we, as an ISP are very sensitive to excessive bandwidth usage on our network, and are therefore proactive in protecting that asset. This usually results in our engineers identifying what file sharers there are on our network, even before your snoops, can. It may therefore be worth consideration upon your part that it would be less expensive for you to simply wait a few days and see if we have tracked down and executed the file sharer upon our own.
Again, in the future, if you wish to make a request, please remit $50.00 in advance for each request, for services rendered.
Thank you and have a great day;
AnonNutter
Systems Engineer

again if you want to be fair, you need to charge at least double and more likely triple, and the cost of having the legal issues surrounding the obtaining of the ip address validated, not to mention that they actually represent the product that they claim as not all 'entertainment' have the same bookeepers for royalties, etc. | |
