Re: High levels of DMCA notifications

[Bob Bayn <bob.bayn () USU EDU>]

Yup, I'm processing way more DMCA notifiations than every before, too.

On a related note, we had never received a notofication from the Frank Zappa Family Trust before, but got our first one 
last week.  But it wasn't a takedown notice, it was a presettlement notice.  It was also not sent to our registered 
DMCA agent address.

Anybody else ever dealth with the Zappas?

Subject: [SECURITY] High levels of DMCA notifications

We are seeing very high levels of DMCA notifications during November and December 2009. They are running two to three 
times monthly averages for the last twelve months, and the November 2009 total volume received is over four times the 
November 2008 total. Is anyone else seeing the same thing? Is this volume of notifications a reaction by the copyright 
holders to the HEOA including "a vigorous program of accepting and responding to Digital Millennium Copyright Act 
(DMCA) notices" under "a variety of technology-based deterrents"?
