Hi,

We treat the preservation notice as just that - we build a ticket and preserve the notice and any log information we 
would need to identify the individual.  We
do not notify.

When the early settlement notice comes in, we pass that along to the individual and request that they remove the 
material.  We had our GC write to the RIAA and
tell them that this was being done because it violated our policy to have this material on our network.

Thanks,
Joel Rosenblatt
