OFFICIAL UCSD NOTICE
Academic Computing and Media Services (ACMS)
University of California, San Diego

SUBJECT: AUP Violation - Illegal Distribution of Copyrighted Material

Dear avierkan,

We recently received a notice regarding the illegal distribution of
copyrighted material from your computer (critical information from the
notice is listed below). Unauthorized copying and/or distribution of
copyrighted material is illegal and a violation of federal copyright law
as well as a violation of the UCOP Digital Copyright Protection policy
<http://ucop.edu/irc/policy/copyright.html>, and the ACMS and ResNet
Acceptable Usage Policies <http://www-no.ucsd.edu/security/policies.html>.

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (DMCA -
<http://www.educause.edu/Browse/645&PARENT_ID=254>) requires UCSD (as an
Internet Service Provider) to respond to those who have violated federal
copyright law in a specific way.

UCSD’s response will be as follows:

1. The first notice is a warning, but your connection has been blocked
temporarily in case your computer has been compromised and to prevent you
from getting more copyright violations. You must follow all the
requirements below (A, B, C and D). Student Judicial Affairs has been
notified of this warning.

2. A second notice of illegal distribution of copyrighted material will
prompt ACMS to refer your case to Student Judicial Affairs for
prosecution. You will be required to attend another Copyright Violation
Presentation and schedule a meeting with the ACMS Help Desk Manager. You
will be required to have a security scan done on your computer. Your
connection will be blocked until you meet all these requirements, or as
decided by your college Dean.

3. A third notice of illegal distribution of copyrighted material will
result in the permanent loss of your network privileges and a second
referral to Judicial Affairs.

When you download or distribute copyrighted material without
authorization, you are breaking the law and are risking the possibility of
prosecution by Federal authorities and/or lawsuits from the copyright
owner. Most peer-to-peer file sharing software has a default setting that
enables file sharing (distribution). Though this is somewhat deceitful on
the part of the software, you are still responsible for these actions. For
these reasons, ACMS/ResNet highly recommends that you remove any
Peer-to-Peer file sharing software from your computer.

To avoid further action, you must:

A. Contact the ACMS Help Desk (858-534-3227 or acms-help@ucsd.edu) to
register for a Copyright Violation Presentation. This will last
approximately 1 hour.

B. Have an ACMS Help Desk technician conduct a security scan on your
computer. We highly encourage you to come before your scheduled
presentation.  You are required to be there. Scan times will depend on how
secure the computer is. Computers that are clean (no viruses) and secure
usually take less than 15 minutes.

C. Cease distributing copyrighted material.

D. Click on the following link or paste the entire URL in your web browser
to fill out the Copyright Violation Agreement:

http://loofah.ucsd.edu/cgi-bin/helpdesk/server.pl?_action=dmca_new.questions&_record=2551

Once you have attended a Copyright Violation Presentation and had your
computer looked at by the ACMS technician (to make sure that your computer
is secure and to verify that you know how to remove your file sharing
software if you choose to do so), your connection will be restored.

If you do not understand any aspect of these notices, contact the ACMS
Help Desk at (858) 534-3227 or acms-help@ucsd.edu. If you do not fill out
the online form within 3 days of getting unblocked, your network
connection will be blocked again.
