Re: Qwest blocking users without passing along DMCA notices
In this case, the relevant OSP is the ISP, just as a content creator can give a DMCA notice to a network/data center provider who would then pass it along to the appropriate webhost who's serving the content. It's hilarious that you chose to quote that FAQ as the actual quoted question refers to whether the OSP must notify the content creator, not the infringer. However, in passing, it specifically says that the alleged infringer, "the subscriber," has to be notified of the infringement. This is so that they can file a counter-notice if necessary, I suggest you read the referenced legalese at 512g2A, as I just have. I never received any notice of infringement and was refused notice, until I kept insisting that they had to do it and they finally capitulated. In this case, it appears that my insult was valid as you keep making claims that are specious and contradicted by your own evidence. Perhaps this is a good opportunity for you to learn that you have no idea what you're talking about. | |

| Fine- I quoted the wrong section. Meanwhile, you have quoted nothing to support your contention that they broke any law in suspending your account without prior notification.
If you had read the relevant statutes as you (almost certainly falsely) claim, you'd know that there is no requirement to notify the infringer in advance. I'm unaware of any specific timeframe for such notification to be made after the fact.
You got busted. Man up and take responsibility for your actions rather than whining about the consequences. You should be thankful you're not facing the prospect of an expensive lawsuit. | |

| I have provided repeated quotes and provided you with the exact section of the law, that you can easily read by following the same link from the bottom of the wikipedia page that I did. If you're too dense to do so, that's your problem, not mine. However, you keep repeating that advance notification is unnecessary, so that's presumably what you're hanging your hat on. But other than an offhand comment in my original post, I haven't even been hammering on advance notice, just any notice. In fact, in my first response to you, I specifically quoted a block of text that said advance notice was not necessary and I haven't mentioned advance notice since. It's immaterial what timeframe Qwest has for notification after the fact as they refused all notification whatsoever!
I have never once whined about the consequences because there are none. I'm pointing out Qwest's illegal behavior to others so they can avoid this shitty company. I'm not worried about any lawsuits as that will get them nowhere, just as this entire legal strategy of suing your customers has gotten them exactly nowhere. Times have changed, they need to come up with a better content strategy rather than desperately clinging to the past. It won't matter much as internet video will soon kill off NBC and their ilk. | |
