Re: DMCA Notification Notice ID: 14-25709908

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

Looking back over my DMCA complaints from Universal Studios, it looks like the text changed sometime between Jan 15, 
2009 and Feb 9, 2009.  The old text complied substantially with the requirements listed by Dick Jacobsen.  And the 
sender changed from Mark Ishikawa (CEO) to Osama Hussein, Esq. recently, some time between December 7th and 12th.

Since universal-studios-no-reply () copyright-compliance com  is a familiar sender address, I just scroll down to the 
evidentiary details and don't tend to look at the boilerplate text at all.

Unless the law has changed ...

It misses many of the bullets required to meet the original law, among them :
• State that you are complaining in “good faith;”
• State that, “under penalty of perjury, that the information contained in the notification is accurate;” and
• State that you have the right to proceed (because you are the copyright owner or the owner’s agent)

The letter is written as if the sender has already identified copyright.abuse () ndus nodak edu as the infringer.  This 
is not possible since the address is merely an email alias and can not be used to authenticate to the network for any 
purpose - even to distribute other's materials.

Looks like a typical DMCA notice to me.  What are you seeing that makes you think it's invalid?

Anyone else seeing these ?  Do we have a new player in the copyright notification arena that didn't bother the read the 
law ?

(btw: the address is the alias registered with the FTC.)

My response was to stop sending spam - but I did say please.
