We suspend network access for the reportedly infringing IP. Restores are handled by appropriate staff based on affiliation. Student Life, for example makes decisions on when a student machine is restored.

We currently default to a 45 day suspension, but it is almost always much shorter for the rare cases of staff or faculty machines.

We process these "by hand", but using a system that automates the network suspend/restore actions, and automatically sends email.

Hi All,

Polling to see how other campuses are handling DMCA take down notices.
Ours has risen to a level current process is not working efficiently. We
are hearing some universities are:

1) Ignoring notices from copyright holders

2) Outright blocking of file sharing as "95% are used for nefarious
purposes"

Interested to see how other institutions are addressing.

Thanks
