Wow.. I'm just lost for words... Educate yourself, then post... Educate what? Enlighten me. As I do recall their policy has always been there since we signed it. We all choose to be with them and read the policy I assume, so why must they even step a foot into our mess? Because we pay them money? So do people who follow rules. Whose fault is that they must hand over the logs? Not them they didn't do anything. They are being forced too hand over. It's their business and want to keep customer sure, but I personally wouldn't go against the law for what I haven't done and can clearly see that they have. If you are complaining about privacy, it is understandable to a certain point but nothing to worry about if you didn't do anything wrong. Yeah you can always use the excuse that you share your ip with people or you didn't secure your network but how long do you think "ignorance is bliss" will last? Doesn't work with any other law out there... The only difference here is that Teksavvy told people of what is going on instead of just letting it go unknown. They weren't obligated. There would not be people complaining if they didn't tell us, just people unprepared and probably all be charged by now. They keep logs for good reasons and they even state it. I don't see how they are in the wrong at all when they are being force their hands. Unless you want them to break the law for us.~ Just because they aren't opposing them doesn't mean they are just going to let it go like that. They've been there since UBB and still fighting net neutrality for us. They've always been fighting for us. But one thing happens that they can't control everyone goes mad at them. I'm sure if you were in their position you would be doing what Marc has been doing that is best for his company and best for the customers. He has to balance the too. You might see it as just a company but to him he sees it as another extension of family that he sees everyday like us. I don't blame him for anything and he hasn't keep anything in the dark with us, logs and what is happening. Which might state he has given us lots of time considering how full his hands are. Whose to say that by not making a move isn't a smart move? Sometimes the situation can turn around because they overlooked something on the other side and this really is the best course of action and the face that they have to hand over our privacy is not their fault, also logging was stated in policy so they haven't done anything wrong. |

Honestly no offence but i'm not reading that... please paragraph next time. That's a mess.
All i read was the first line. Educate yourself on exactly what you said and how really silly it sounds. If you truly understand the internet and how it works your statement is out of left field.
"Don't do illegal things and you're fine" lol. You know my grandmother was accused once for downloading a ubisoft game. She's 92 and can barely play solitaire. That pesky women must have grabbed Assassins creed. I knew she wanted to be a ninja |

Quite true, people don't read. If you read policy and understand how the internet works, you wouldn't be in this mess. Ignorance is bliss only works until they put in a law saying that you probably shouldn't leave your door open and next time it happens that excuse won't work and yes unfortunate for your grandmother, the person setting up the network obviously didn't know how to read the manual and set up easy security. |

What in the world are you going on about? Reading policy and me understanding? huh? Then i wouldn't be in what mess?!?
Leaving your door open analogy as in an open router? Un bud, pushing a door vs configuring a router quite a bit different... if that's what you're getting at, that's a horrible analogy.
That "person" setting up her router didn't need to read a manual lol. That "person" is me, a tech of 22 years who had the account fully and absolutely secured including mac restriction.
What's worse is you think reading a manual will keep you out of trouble lol. I won't insult you about not knowing much, many don't. Just believe me when i tell you, send me your address via PM if you like i'll come by and show you i can access your network from outside before i leave to head home.
Judging by your ideals, i honestly do not believe you're well educated in the IT field. That said, please don't be so knuckle headed and think you're safe because you read a manual. Be smarter then that.
Also for those who think not broadcasting your SSID will hide, let me tell you the software i use and any sniffing software finds all networks. |

You guys need to stop blaming teksavvy and start looking at legal defenses.
Its the law they have to obey it.
Read up on ingress and egress filtering because not every isp practices it is relatively trivial to create fraudulent packets that isp's routers will forward to their destinations causing the device on the other end think it is talking to the fraudulent ip address.
Someone on an isp without filtering or even potentiality the movie trolls themselves can pretend to be a teksavvy customer (even if teksavvy filter's on their own network because it came from another network). As far as the other end is concerned the packets came from teksavvy.
There you go now you guys have the basis to found a defense on.
If your not part of the upcoming lawsuit contact your MP and work on getting the laws changed to be a based in reality. If you getting sued contact your lawyer and get a solid defense ready because your going to need it.
None of my customers have been targeted by voltage but I have still taken measures anyways. (log retention is now only 3 months).
ISP's cant stop logging ip address assignments as there is FAR too many illegal things you can do on the internet and no sane person running an isp would want to turn their network into a safe haven for child predators or child pornographers or terrorists.
Teksavvy are the good guys not the bad guys they are doing everything legally possible to protect you from the copyright trolls.
Every isp should follow the model that teksavvy has put forth.

Hmm...
You are on an extreme end.
Balance, my friend, balance.
One has to respect life, and respect trying to prevent loss of life.
Be it exploited kids, suicide, or other that is similar.
Kids are fragile. So are certain young adults.
The creep (male nurse) who helped the depressed U-of-Carleton girl kill herself is a prime example of the logs pointing to who was who.
Laws need to be revisited. Hollywood greed is exploiting the good that can come of it.
I'm sure Marc doesn't want to sit there saying to himself, "if only I had logs, that young girl could have been saved".
after a few of those I would even be a basket case in, Marc's shoes.
You fail to accept reality. Time to man-up. These things exist.
Marc /CNOC/CIPPIC/CAIPO/CRTC/Law-makers/Gov/Prov need to address this. No easy answer.
However an easy answer would be, logs are available to no one outside law enforcement where life is at stake. Unavailable to everyone else.
This strikes a balance. One where an ISP owner could sleep at night and live with him/her self.
Marc could very well be a deciding and influencing factor in Canadian law.
Or american Hollywood trolling and Canadian laws can force his hand to be a person who will eventually turn a blind eye, which will cause lives.
Lots going on here. More than meets he eye.
Policy makers are watching this one.. |

So you're saying that someone can forge packets and basically frame someone else. And knowing this to be a fact, your approach is still to retain logs for 3 months. Even though law enforcement investigating serious crimes can get a warrant for your recent logs in less than 48h, you still retain 3 months worth of logs. Not 2 weeks. Not 4 weeks. 3 Months. Just in case someone who's not law enforcement, like say a copyright troll, needs it. Well, at least you're doing your part. |

I'm a bit confused on this stuff. is tek giving all their users info over or just the ones who have the IP's or had the IP's the copyright trolls asked for? |
|
| Just the ones that the trolls asked for. Roughly 2,300 of them. For now. Canipre has been collecting IP's for 6 months, or so they claim. If you really want to know, here are the relevant new sections of the Act, emphasis mine:
======================================
Obligations related to notice
41.26 (1) A person described in paragraph 41.25(1)(a) or (b) who receives a notice of claimed infringement that complies with subsection 41.25(2) shall, on being paid any fee that the person has lawfully charged for doing so,
(a) as soon as feasible forward the notice electronically to the person to whom the electronic location identified by the location data specified in the notice belongs and inform the claimant of its forwarding or, if applicable, of the reason why it was not possible to forward it; and
(b) retain records that will allow the identity of the person to whom the electronic location belongs to be determined, and do so for six months beginning on the day on which the notice of claimed infringement is received or, if the claimant commences proceedings relating to the claimed infringement and so notifies the person before the end of those six months, for one year after the day on which the person receives the notice of claimed infringement.
Fees related to notices
(2) The Minister may, by regulation, fix the maximum fee that a person may charge for performing his or her obligations under subsection (1). If no maximum is fixed by regulation, the person may not charge any amount under that subsection.
Damages related to notices
(3) A claimant’s only remedy against a person who fails to perform his or her obligations under subsection (1) is statutory damages in an amount that the court considers just, but not less than $5,000 and not more than $10,000
============================================
So ONCE an ISP has received a copyright infringement claim they are to retain existing records for that person for 6 months. Basically, they can't destroy records, and need to keep tabs on that client for up to a year. There's no provision regarding how long ISP's are to retain their normal daily operation logs, or at least I can't find it in the Act or regulations. But if TSI matched your IP to the ones provided by Voltage, they're going to keep logs on you for 6 months to 1 year.
Note also that if an ISP fails to perform his obligations (cough up client info), the copyright troll can ask statutory damages against the ISP of $5K to $10K. That's about half of what they are asking from the "owners" of the IP's named in the motion.
Now here's the question: are those statutory damages against an uncompliant ISP meant to be applied per Doe, or per motion? I wish someone who's a lawyer could interpret it, because if it is per motion it means less than $5 per client info that TSI refuses to release. That can't be right. |

Child porn is used as the example due to it's extreme nature. The method of collecting the data user info is the same.
Take John out of the piracy seat and put John in the child porn seat, let law enforcement grab user info off an IP. Now we're talking same methods of user retrieval but far more serious charges.
The charges aren't the discussion. If you pirate, deal with the charges. The charges are irrelevant in the IP collection/gathering of consumer information.
Read between the lines. |

You're the one out of touch with reality as you lack the understanding of just how easy i myself could make you liable for anything without you ever being home. Send me your address and i'll show you reality if you like.

Here is a bit of reality.
Thee is no chance in hell that Volatage is doing this by themselves. They will have some if not a pile of support form their movie trolls.
TSI is much more vulnerable financially then the big boys. If any of the big boys decided to fight them, they would not stand a chance. So they go after TSI and set precedence.
TSI by simply rolling over and not putting up any defense of privacy or issues of error or ANY barrier other then "we tried, our hands are tied".
Once precedence is set, the big boys will have an excuse to hand over too without looking like tools.
Given how easy the first volley TSI made it for the money trolls, EXPECT a nice new shiny and very lucrative business model.
If our expectations of privacy is thrown under the bus next month and I expect we will be, there is only ONE way to make TSI and the rest of the industry pay, MIGRATE to companies that keep the minimum records and time. I am currently a customer of TSI but soon will not be. I hope a lot of people will migrate to providers who take the privacy of their customers much more seriously. |
