Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Policy. When connectSCP, LLC (“connectSCP”) receives a notice from a copyright holder or its authorized representative regarding an alleged violation of law by someone using an IP address identified as belonging to connectSCP, the following actions will be initiated:
- connectSCP personnel will review the address to determine whether the address is in use by connectSCP or by one of its affiliates. If the address has been assigned to an entity other than connectSCP, the DMCA notice will be forwarded to that entity for review and any action or response if connectSCP can identify the owner.
- If the address is assigned and used by connectSCP or one of its Subscribers, connectSCP personnel will attempt to identify the user. If the offender cannot be identified, the Designated Agent listed on connectSCP’s Internet site will be notified in order to respond accordingly to the copyright holder or its agent. Copyright holders may contact connectSCP as outlined under Notification of Copyright Infringement to provide notice of any potential violations. The following actions may be taken with offenders:
- If the offender is an employee, the responsible supervisor will be notified, and appropriate disciplinary action may be warranted. A copy of the violation will be filed by HR in the employee’s personnel file.
- If the offender is a Subscriber, the Subscriber will be notified by telephone and email of the offense. If it is a first-time offense, the Subscriber will be notified and advised that an alleged violation of copyright law has been received and that any further violations could affect the Subscriber’s access to the Internet. Notification of a second offense will result in the same action. A third offense will result in notice that Internet service will be restricted for seven (7) days to limit the ability to violate the law. A fourth offense will result in the termination of Internet service, unless otherwise determined by connectSCP.
