Has anybody received "Notice of claimed infringement" from MediaSentry for IP addresses which, while registered to you or your organization, are in a range not actively in use?
I've independently received another report of this problem.
I see two likely possibilities -- either MediaSentry is not using due diligence in verifying that the material for which they send infringement notices is actually shared from the address they show in the complaint, or somebody on the Internet is spoofing BGP route announcements for unused address space out of larger allocations.
RIPE doesn't have an announcement of the prefix, so I think MediaSentry was in error. I don't think it makes sense for MediaSentry to check their findings more closely from a business perspective. They don't try to download the infringing material to confirm that redistribution actually takes place, either. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
