How can we treat it as a "Take Down Notice," when we don't know what the copyright infringed media is? For "Take Down Notices," the infringed media is listed along with the p2p application that was used to share the media. In the preservation notice, we don't have any knowledge of what is being infringed. Futher more, if we go through the take down process, this involves removing copyright infringed materials from the offending computer. Won't this be against the preservation principle? Can we be liable for removing said "evidence?"

The discussions now are with the attorneys (plural). The Takedown notices and Pre-Litigation notices are not causing as much conversation as the Preservation notice. First, it is understood that we are under no obligation with regard to these notices and will not alter our log retention practices from our stated policy in order to accomodate the notice. Not so clear is if we should identify the individual and notify the individual that we received the notice. One of the attorneys has suggested that the Preservation notice gives us knowledge of the activity and we should treat it the same as a Takedown notice. I am interested in both your thoughts and your stated process for these. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Dick Jacobson e-mail : Dick.Jacobson () ndus NoDak edu NDUS IT Security Officer office : IACC 206, NDSU ND HECN MultiUser Host SysAdd phone : 701-231-7385 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
