Your ISP has forwarded you this Notice pursuant to the Notice and Notice provisions of the Canada Copyright Act. While we remain agreeable to communicating with you through your ISP, we reserve our right to seek a Norwich order to have you identified should this matter remain unresolved. Canadian Courts have recently recognized that, in circumstances involving the illegal infringement of copyrighted works, ISPs can be ordered to deliver up the customer information associated with offending IP addresses so that further action can be taken (see: Voltage Pictures LLC v Doe, 2014 FC 161). If you have questions about your legal rights, you should consult with your own qualified, legal counsel.

In the event that this matter remains unresolved and/or you continue to engage in the unauthorized copying and distribution of copyrighted works, you could be in violation of the Acceptable Use Policy you may be party to with your ISP. In Canada, you could also be found liable for statutory damages of up to $5,000, or non-statutory damages for copyright infringement, as well as potential damages for unjust enrichment and interference with economic relations.

In order to help avoid legal action, we have been authorized by Raven Banner Releasing to offer you a settlement opportunity that we believe is reasonable for everyone.

No, you do not have to pay a ‘settlement fee’ if you get an illegal download notice

Here's what you need to know if you received a copyright infringement notice.

New regulations surrounding illegal downloading went into effect in Canada two years ago. But the number of warning notices being issued to internet subscribers is still growing.

Canadians confused by the so-called “notice and notice regime” warnings often take to social media sites with questions like, “Do I have to pay a settlement fee for copyright infringement?” or “Am I being sued?”

These letters are sent by Internet Service Providers (ISPs), like Rogers and Bell, to customers whose IP address is believed to be connected to illegal downloading.

The emails usually read something like this: “[Your ISP] has received what the Copyright Act calls a “notice of claimed infringement”. It listed an IP address and time. Our systems indicate that the IP address listed in the notice was likely assigned to your account at the specified time.”

READ MORE: Internet users receive illegal downloading notices, but what do they mean?

The ISP may also forward the original notice from the copyright holder – such as a movie studio, or media company – but this is where it gets tricky.

Sometimes these notices encourage the customer to pay a settlement fee for the alleged copyright infringement.

According to user reports on sites like Reddit, these alleged fees can range anywhere from $200 to $10,000.

Are you obligated to pay these fines?
The answer is no.

“There is no legal obligation to pay any settlement offered by a copyright owner,” Industry Canada confirmed to Global News.

So why does this keep happening?
According to industry experts, these notices continue to cause alarm with unsuspecting Canadians thanks to so-called “copyright trolls” who misuse the notice and notice regime.

“The ‘notice and notice’ regime, which started out as a measured and effective made-in-Canada mechanism to reduce infringement, is being misused by some players to convey inappropriate settlement demands to uninformed consumers and scaring them into unnecessary payments,” said Howard Knopf, copyright expert and lawyer at Macera & Jarzyna LLP in Ottawa.

Bram Abramson, chief legal and regulatory officer for internet service provider TekSavvy, told Global News that some media companies have started “copyright trolling,” using programs to monitor peer-to-peer downloading sites for their own copyrighted content and generating copyright infringement reports automatically.

“Once these programs are set up they churn out as many as they like – it’s all automated,” said Abramson.

Global News asked Industry Canada and the major internet service providers including Bell, Rogers, Shaw and TekSavvy, how many notices it sent out over the last year under the notice and notice regime.

Industry Canada directed us to internet service providers, noting participants in the program are under “no obligation” to tell the government how many notices it issued.

Bell and Rogers both declined to comment on how many infringement notices they’ve received from copyright holders. Shaw did not respond to requests for comment.

Abramson could not provide exact data from TekSavvy; however, he estimated the company sends ‘thousands’ of notices per year.

David Christopher – communications manager at OpenMedia, an advocacy group that focuses on privacy and open internet in Canada – pointed out that many of these messages sent by copyright holders often use American wording, citing U.S. copyright laws.

“There are companies that base their whole business model off of finding people who are allegedly downloading material and go after them on behalf of media companies,” said Christopher

“They send out as many threatening emails as possible.”

What you need to know if you receive one of these emails
It’s important to note that without a court order the alleged copyright owner has no way of determining the identity behind the IP address it has flagged.

Your internet provider does not hand over any personally identifying information to the copyright holder and the notices you receive directly from them are only intended to ask you to stop illegally downloading.

Legal experts say it’s imperative that you do not respond to emails from alleged copyright holders, otherwise you may identify yourself and risk potential legal action.

“Anyone who responds to a settlement demand, or makes contact in any way with the sender, is very likely going to reveal their identity,” Knopf added.

Additionally, just because you receive a notice of alleged infringement, does not mean you are guilty.

“If an individual receives a notice of alleged infringement, it is because a copyright owner has identified their Internet address as being involved in an activity that allegedly infringes their copyright,” said a spokesperson for Industry Canada.

“Receiving a notice does not necessarily mean that they have in fact infringed copyright.”

Meanwhile, experts are calling on the government to help prevent abuse of the notice and notice regime by asking that ISPs and third parties explain to users in their notices that they are under no legal obligation to pay settlement fees.

In 2015, several internet advocacy groups – including the Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic and OpenMedia – sent a letter for James Moore, Ministry of Industry, calling for these changes to be implemented into Canada’s Copyright Act.

Some organizations are already doing this. The University of Manitoba, for example, explains in its notice that U.S. copyright fines and penalties do not apply in Canada and that statutory damages for non-commercial infringement in Canada does not exceed $5,000.

“If the integrity and utility of the notice and notice regime is to be sustainable, the Government must proceed as soon as possible to implement regulations preventing the inclusion of settlement demands in such notices and relieving ISPs of any obligation to pass improper notices along to the intended recipients,” said Knopf.

即使真有人要起诉你,你的回复就会成为呈堂证词。

不要点任何链接 ,不要理睬他们,他们不知道你究竟是谁。 之所以能联系上你,都是因为你的 ISP 根据他们提供的 IP 地址将警告信转发给你。 以后不要再下载电影就可以了。

p2p下载时也在上传,而上传时每个数据源的IP通常都是未经加密的。只要有人愿意花点时间,都可以把同一个种子文件一共有多少个IP以及详细地址在上传/下载这类数据给捕捉出来,在加拿大固定IP司空见惯所以按ISP数据一抓一个准,只是目前相应的版权法并没有完全覆盖私人共享这一环节,所以目前,美国版权方海外发函在加拿大p用没有。
非要用p2p,保护个人隐私,养成习惯从加密IP上传开始。
另外,有些种子就是版权方雇佣的维权机构在资源分享网站里下的套,只不过他们想捕捉到的都是美国人,只有这样才能依法收到钱,至于加拿大,唬住一个真汇了款又不违法,仔细看小字一般都有免责声明一类说你意识到侵犯版权,做出补偿blabla

长篇大论懒得看,这一句最有用。

没有法院的指令,版权所有者也无法获得IP地址背后的人的身份信息。

如果是投递来的律师信,我会担心下。

Email从来不鸟,直接删掉

marsperson : 2017-10-25#10
这种垃圾,根本不用管,这邮件没有任何法律效力,你的服务商只是收到他们(私人讨债公司)的IP列表,然后按照IP列表转发他们的邮件给你们,除非法庭的命令,服务商不会给他们任何你的个人信息(邮件,姓名,地址等等)。
去法院告你一个人,要求法庭命令服务商提供IP地址对应的个人信息的成本,远高过5000快(加拿大最多罚5000,这几年被罚的是个位数,说10000是骗你,就这个欺骗,法院就可以判无罪),而且他们还要证明这wifi这段时间,这电影是你下的,不是共享的其他人下的,非常难
你点了链接,输入个人信息,就等于在警察局自己招供了,你不输入个人信息,他们只知道一个IP,这就是为什么你只收到服务商的邮件,没有任何投递的信,因为他们什么都不知道!

法律上:只可以告一个人,不能告一个IP地址
