Owners of any intellectual data can easily infringe their data if you are not being careful. If you have then this is the reason why you are receiving this infringement notice. The first thing to do if you receive any infringement notice is to read what it says. This should help you identify what the problem is. Notices like this have to clearly identify what you have done so that these claims can later be confirmed. Additionally, you should also notice that the pop-up will contain information about the owners of the claim.
If there is no proof of ownership then the popup is invalid and you do not need to take any additional action. Aside from this, if the claims on the notice are current then you can try to contact Mediacom. There are a lot of people that have reported receiving similar notices.
However, most of them claimed that they had done no such thing. This is why it is best that you contact the company and talk about this. If the customer service ends up helping you then you can easily get rid of this notice.
If the customer service is not helping you out then you should keep in mind that you do not ignore the notice. Reply to it after deleting any files that might be copyrighted. Tell them that the files have been removed from your computer and they should then be able to fix your services. Mediacom usually gives its users up to three or sometimes even more chances when giving these notices. If the user still keeps violating copyrighted content then the company will take action.

Anyone who receives a copyright infringement notice is in danger of being sued by an intellectual property rights-holder. How do you respond to a copyright infringement notice? The best and more appropriate thing any person can do upon receipt of a copyright infringement notice is to contact an attorney.
What happens if I am caught torrenting? After I sent the certified letter I never heard from them again. I don't know what operating systems your clients run, but I would check asap to see if there are any system logs that could prove that the download came from somewhere else. You want to get these logs asap, because log files get aged, and they could get overridden with further use of the computer. Clearly the information in the letter that I got was in conflict with the logs on my computer.
NOTE: The client modem or router or computer send a dhcp request to to the providers dhcp server in order to be assigned an IP address and the providers dhcp server responds with an IP address If they leave their equipment powered on all the time, then it still renews the dhcp lease periodically and that will be logged as well. I would requests detailed logs from the providers equipment interactions with the dhcp server and if they can't provide logs proving that your client had the suspect IP address at the time of the download, then the case would never stand up.
Of course it would be best if you are able to compare the providers logs with logs from the clients computer. My sense is that most providers will drop the issue once they have a technical person examine the logs and realize that you are not the one who did the download, since it would hardly further the providers interest in having more satisfied customers if they harassed innocent people.
I would either write a written letter or contact one of the more technical support staff either on this forum or on the mediacom support forums. Pringlescan join Des Moines, IA. Anon47a2b d.

As previous messages were not clear to you it seems, they get the notice and send it to the person who owned the IP at the time.
If you don't agree to the notice, you can contest it. Which the copyright letter clearly states and explains as it's required by law. I've had mine for almost 2 years.

Pringlescan to wth Member Dec-7 am to wth said by wth : For others reading this, how do they identify these people? Your IP doesn't change that much. Rightcorp doesn't actually get the info. What they do is track the torrent by watching the swarm and logging IP's. Rightcorp sends out the letter with the offending IP and the info such as the torrent, time date etc etc.
The ISP basically gets the letter, puts the name and address on it then sends it to you. Anon47a2b to uxwbill Anon Dec-7 am to uxwbill As mentioned here, the isp got the notice from the copyright holder and forwarded the notice to the person leasing the IP at the time.
Most major copyright holders extend the copyright of important works to maintain their control over their original content or over copyright purchased from other creators. When you receive a copyright infringement notice from your ISP, it will contain the exact copyright allegedly broken on your network. The email will also list the copyright infringing work, usually using the exact file name, the infringing IP address, the infringement type e.
ISPs are compelled by law to send the notice, regardless of their "stance" on pirating. Word to the wise, ISPs stance on pirating isn't good. Copyright infringement isn't always obvious, either. Understandably, during the off-season, fan sites began speculating as to the outcome of the cliff-hanger.
If during their speculation regarding the cliffhanger they hit upon the correct outcome for the return to Season Seven, "AMC says they will sue us. Their stance is that making such a prediction would be considered copyright infringement.
Certain titles attract higher levels of pirating. In recent years, Game of Thrones copyright owner, HBO, has sent tens of thousands of copyright infringement notices as fans pirate the latest Game of Thrones series. HBO teamed up with the anti-piracy company, IP-Echelon, to serve and enforce the copyright infringement notices. The result was less piracy, more engagement, and potentially a happier audience.
Aren't we all on a list somewhere? While you might not be able to have your name removed from that list, you can certainly ensure no additional copyright infringements appear alongside your name and IP address. What measures can you take to make sure that there are no copyright infringements on your home network? It should go without saying… but stop downloading illegal content through illicit sources.
If you are unsure what the copyright status of a file is, it is best not to download. Instead, you can head to the U. Copyright Office website and complete a search for whatever the file, film, album, or content is.
The rise of Android-based Kodi boxes and other streaming services further complicates matters. Kodi boxes are sold openly in shops and online, but the streaming apps available on those boxes may well use copyrighted materials.
If you are certain it was not you downloading the latest episode of Squid Game, go and chat to your family, housemates, or anyone with access to your internet connection.
