if a email address is a auto responder then i have received nothing because its not a valid email address that accepts emails.
i have no dog in this fight but what they seem to be doing im pretty sure is 100% legal
im not a attorney tho |
neither am I, but when the US copyright office wrote this:
"The limitations on liability established in this subsection apply to a service provider only if the service provider has designated an agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement described in paragraph (3), by making available through its service, including on its website in a location accessible to the public, and by providing to the Copyright Office, substantially the following information:
(A) the name, address, phone number, and electronic mail address of the agent.
(B) other contact information which the Register of Copyrights may deem appropriate."
they didn't ad in "but those things don't actually have to work".
and when they wrote this:
"A notification of claimed infringement must be a written communication provided to the designated agent of a service provider"
they didn't ad "the notification must be delivered via the infringing parties preferred method of communication"
I don't really think there is anything wrong with the fact they are using a form, for some people it might actually make the process easier, but they still have an obligation to post an email address and accept submissions via that address.
