Journal chimpo13's Journal: DMCA, Univ of Minnesota, pair Networks vs Me 3
With my first DMCA, I went to Chilling Effects and used a boilerplate response. I had a copyright attorney check it before sending it. The DMCA says they have 14 days to sue. I asked pair if it was settled after 14 days went by and only received the "we received your response and will respond". I figured if they ignored that, then the issue was settled. After two months, I got another DMCA.
pair removed my page for 14 days and sent an email saying that if they get another DMCA they will remove my entire site. My site covers a Star Trek band, Sacramento punk rock history, and a blog about riding a crappy old motorcycle round the world. Now I'm in Korea, trying not to fight with an ISP that I was happy with, over 17 questions. I know the easy thing is to edit the single page, and I let most things slide, but issues like this are one my windmills. Any suggestions? Is what pair is doing to me even legal?
Probably not (Score:2)
Personally, I hate email sinks. A while back I kept getting flooded with bounces of internal eamils from my home ISP a while back; I politely sent them

They did nothing about it until I called and started telling them the the names and issues of customers that were being discussed.

They've always replied to emails. Just this time they chickened out. I sent in another email a few days later and they sent the auto reply and then another email saying they'd have an answer for me in a few days. That was followed up by "we'll delete your account if we get another complaint". I totally understand deleting the account if it was a legitimate complaint, but it wasn't.
Monitoring email for spam would be a nightmare.
