did every one recieve this? in Inside Insight http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r7479527 en Sat, 28 Nov 2009 04:21:52 EDT Sat, 28 Nov 2009 04:21:52 EDT Re: did every one recieve this? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,7554713 kg4evv : Insight is not trying "Sell out" their customers. The letter basically says if Insight is subpena to supply the proper law enforcement agencies information on InsightBB users who are sharing copyrighted software, etc..etc.. or whatever the case may be, then they must do so.

So, if you're not doing anything like this, then you have nothing to worry about.

I personally will not download anything that is commercially available out of respect to the music industry. There are by the way many many "TRADER FRIENDLY" bands that allow their music to be freely traded and downloaded by the online music community. Check out etree.org for more info.

The also keep everyone informed about it. Using share apps is supposed to be a violation of the TOS "providing network content to others" but if they provide links for turning off things in it then it seems that it is not so much a violation after all.

Don't worry about it unless your trying to share a bunch of illegal stuff 24/7.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,7481654 Wed, 23 Jul 2003 20:36:43 EDT Re: did every one recieve this? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,7481242 Beer Nut : At this point, I don't think anyone who downloads from a news server has anything to worry about, since they're looking for people who are actively trading files through a specific set of ports. I'm thinking port 119 isn't one of them; so let's just keep newsgroups our little secret, okay?

Besides, if the RIAA, MPAA, et al, start trying to shut down domestic news servers to keep copyrighted content from being posted, that'll just create more business for news servers out of the U.S., like Premium News in Germany.

If the RIAA and other assorted Nazi thugs start bringing the hammer down, I'll shell out $15 a month for Premium news again in a heartbeat.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,7481242 Wed, 23 Jul 2003 19:54:51 EDT Re: did every one recieve this? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,7481223 compugeek : Do any of you read the news on the front page of BBR?

There is important information that you need to know regarding
the role Insight is required to play in enforcing copyrights.

In 1998, Congress passed the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA)
(»www.loc.gov/copyright/legislation/dmca.pdf), which allows
copyright holders to enforce their copyrighted material by requesting
that Internet service providers takedown infringing material or
disclose the identity of persons that use the Internet to infringe
on copyrights. Representatives of copyright owners routinely scan
computers through file sharing software or websites to identify
infringers of their copyrights. If Insight is notified by a
copyright holder of an infringement, we may be required to notify a
customer of the alleged violation and turn off the customers service
if the infringement continues. We may also be required pursuant to
the DMCA to disclose the infringing customers identity to the copyright
holder. This is true for any Internet service provider, whether a
broadband or narrowband provider.

Copyright holders are becoming extremely aggressive in pursuing the
rights afforded them under the DMCA. Many of our customers are unaware
that unauthorized downloading of copyrighted music and movies over the
Internet is illegal. File sharing in itself is not illegal, but
downloading copyrighted material from the Internet - without proper
authorization - is illegal. Such activity is also prohibited by Insights
Acceptable Use Policy governing the use of your Insightbb.com High Speed
Broadband service.

We also want to caution you that file sharing can be dangerous to
your computer. Many of the file-sharing programs include other
"sub-programs" built into their software code. When you leave
file sharing ports open to the Internet, it may allow others to
access and use your computer resources to do a myriad of tasks for
their own benefit. Open ports also make you a target for viruses
and put your personal information at risk.

If you wish to be fully informed about the Dangers of File Sharing,
visit our web site for more details.
The link is:
»help.insightbb.com/security/onli···ers.html

Our Help Page also offers information on how to disable file
sharing.
This link is:
»help.insightbb.com/security/disa···ing.html

Insightbb.com encourages you to install a firewall and virus
protection software to further protect your computer and its files.
This software can be found on the Internet or purchased from most
computer retailers.

It is our hope you will find this information helpful and make you
better informed about the dangers of file sharing over the web.

Thank you,

Kim Kelly
President Insight Communications
