Dear Internet Service Provider:
This letter is written in response to your notification to me of a complaint received about my webpage(s). The pages in question are:
(insert list of URLs here).
The complainant's claim of copyright violation should be rejected because (please see all checked items):
The material in question is not copyrighted, or the copyright has expired. It is therefore in the public domain and may be reproduced by anyone.
The complainant has provided no copyright registration information or other tangible evidence that the material in question is in fact copyrighted, and I have a good faith belief that it is not. The allegation of copyright violation is therefore in dispute, and at present unsupported.
The complainant does not hold the copyright to the material in question and is not the designated representative of the copyright holder, and therefore lacks standing to assert that my use of the material is a violation of any of the owner's rights.
My use of the material is legally protected because it falls within the "fair use" provision of the copyright regulations, as defined in 17 USC 107. If the complainant disagrees that this is fair use, he or she is free to take up the matter with me directly, in the courts. You, the ISP, are under no obligation to settle this dispute, or to take any action to restrict my speech at the behest of this complainant. Furthermore, siding with the complainant in a manner that interferes with my lawful use of your facilities could constitute breach of contract on your part.
The complaint does not follow the prescribed form for notification of an alleged copyright violation as set forth in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 USC 512(c)(3). Specifically, the complainant has failed to:
Provide a complaint in written form. [17 USC 512(c)(3)(A)]
Include a physical or electronic signature of the complainant. [17 USC 512(c)(3)(A)(i)]
Identify the specific copyrighted work claimed to be infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single complaint, provide a representative list of such works. [17 USC 512(c)(3)(A)(ii)]
Provide the URLs for the specific files on my website that are alleged to be infringing. [17 USC 512(c)(3)(A)(iii)]
Provide sufficient information to identify the complainant, including full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address. [17 USC 512(c)(3)(A)(iv)]
Include a written statement that the complainant has a good faith belief that use of the disputed material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law. [17 USC 512(c)(3)(A)(v)]
Include a written statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complainant is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. [17 USC 512(c)(3)(A)(vi)]
This communication to you is a DMCA counter-notification letter as defined in 17 USC 512(g)(3):
I declare, under penalty of perjury, that I have a good faith belief that the complaint of copyright violation is based on mistaken information, misidentification of the material in question, or deliberate misreading of the law.
My name, address, and telephone number are as follows: (insert your name, address and phone number here).
I hereby consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which I reside (or, if my address is outside the United States, any judicial district in which you, the ISP, may be found).
I agree to accept service of process from the complainant.
My actual or electronic signature follows: ________________________________.
Having received this counter-notification, you are now obligated under
17 USC 512(g)(2)(B) to advise the complainant of this notice, and to restore the material in dispute (or not take the material down in the first place), unless the complainant files suit against me within 10 days.

Personally I know that IL is still going thru trials about the corruption in the DMV offices around the state.
Do they really think that this system will prevent anything?
It is possible by the sound of the above that you don't consider a DJ tired of dragging 1000s of CDs to every event/show/party that decides to rip the CDs so he/she can show up with a laptop and mixing board and the speakers and put on a show a legit reason to convert CD to mp3 format?
... sadly I believe I work for the company you speak of and some of us still didn't have our accounts fixed and working again for 2 weeks.
This is apart from the orginal problems involved in the change over. The virus hits at this *unnamed* company have also increased lately... including a recent selection of Fwd:funny, Jokes and whatever the other varients of the title are.
The complaints about exchange mail here are constant and frequent.
I strongly suggest finding out who is pushing the change over, find out what their goals are, and find a way to deal with it in the *nix enviroment.
Hee hee hee... well now, that in itself is open to debate isn't it?
Being that many methods of access control (and copy control for that matter) are anything but effective.
"The use of our NanoProbe Technology allows us to penetrate transparent web proxy servers and NAT (Network Address Translating) routers to directly probe the host machine's complete interconnection environment. This technology allows us to resolve the pre- and post- NAT router IPs, and the pre- and post- transparent web proxy IPs."
Last time I checked you couldn't do that with a normal ping... not even a hyped up ping packet.
It's not just the site.
You also have to find how the defacement happened. What r00t kit was installed, what system has been tampered with while getting to the page.
If you see your web site has been defaced, it's a good sign something else was also changed also.
Slashdot Mirror
Worst "Got Milk?" ad rip off I've seen to date.
Billboard in Chicago, between I-290 and I-294 westbound.
"Got Botox?"
Ad for a local doctor..... really creepy.
It's got a PC card slot as well as 10/100/1000 ethernet.
Why would you want to change the music?
The last thing I want to here while watching Akira is the lastest hit by Smash Mouth or techno drum beats from the Chemical Brothers.
I like both groups, but not here.
I guess this is an on topic story if only for all the comments of "What are those monkeys smoking?" directed at /. crew.
Sadly it was a geocities.com page and overloaded the file transfer limit pretty quickly.

Money talks. Simple as that.
Nothing here changes that.
Read it on their FAQ:
Why is AT&T Broadband Filtering HTTP Port 80?
Couple of photos I haven't seen on other sites here - as well as a video of it swimming (in QT).

I think it would be closer to everyone else bashing being that they have not set up sites outside the US border.

Also the first thing I did on reading the press release was search the old stories for "AMD" + "dual"
No story on it yet.... so I sent it in.
Silly me I should have thrown SMP into the search.

You assume all first posters are young... they're not.
And my gut reaction to this is that it's so arrogant about the net, it might just be a troll.
