Re: Blog - Copyright Infringement LawsuitMarc: Can you confirm that all emails are out already, and there's no queue for some waiting to be sent?
Also, JF asked this: How much will Rogers and Videotron ding you for each IP to modem MAC translation for cable subs ? (re Voltage)
Do you already have this information without having to request it of them? You have our MAC addresses already, but do you have corresponding IP address?
Also, Rogers/Bell would have this info as well... Is it possible that despite being a customer of Teksavvy, Rogers/Bell could/would 'mistakenly' cough up our info as well as they've already signed affidavits not to fight the orders? |

We were not able to identify all IPs yet. Those that have been identified, have been sent. |

said by TSI Marc:We were not able to identify all IPs yet. Those that have been identified, have been sent. I hope you have no special priority in identifying the IPs. I'm sure this is a very long process and can take months to identify each IP. They should be informed this is not a quick process and it is not possible as these employees require their time to keep the business running. Hence Teksavvy is seeking new employees. said by JMJimmy:If I were Marc's laywers I would first request to have all Ontario IPs dropped from the suit, due to the fact that an IP has been ruled not to be a person and they are requesting a specific person's information based on an IP. It's a long shot but it might get a good chunk of them dropped. Then I'd request that the court rule on each address they wish consumer information disclosed for as to whether the data collected for the offending IP constitutes authorization and that if authorization is not present then request that disclosure of that information be denied. If that failed I'd go after their data collection methods. Ask the court to force the disclosure of the source code of this so called "forensic software" as if it's going to be used to procure private client information it will have to be vetted.
If all else fails, I'd claim that the information is a company secret and revealing it could do irreparable harm to your business. YES! Going after their data collection methods is what we need to go after as it seems that they got it from a 3rd hand party. |

It's also been proven that the methods used by people targeting Torrent swarms are useless. The University of Washington did a study (I think it's at » dmca.cs.washington.edu if memory serves me correctly) on the subject and they were able to cause DMCA takedown notices against an HP LaserJet 4000 by telling a tracker that the printer's IP address was part of the swarm. |

I did not see any movies in Voltage's catalogue that I have downloaded, and have not received an email from Teksavvy saying that I am on Voltage's list, so I think I am home free.
But I swear to God I will never ever download a copyrighted movie again unless I am damn sure they can not track me. |

Don't download new movies... The problem is that sometimes the desired media isn't for sale, especially foreign content (movies & TV) that will never make it to North America. Interesting, if you subscribe and visit UnblockUs' site, they are forcing you to accept a new TOS without giving you the means to access support or anything else. I wonder if UnblockUs and UnoDNS / UnoTelly have anything to worry about. |

In the case of obscure producers like lesser-known-of bands and artists, it's fairly easy for their productions to vanish entirely. Good luck buying a copy of their album from 2005 in 2012, because all online CD shops are out of stock and digital downloads don't seem to exist. The situation is ten times worse if it's a foreign production. If it weren't for file sharing networks, some really great works would effectively disappear and never be seen or heard again, regardless of copyright status. |
