Electronic Box has received a notice from a copyright holder who is reporting a violation which was allegedly performed through our network. The copyright holder has identified the IP address and the time at which these events occurred. The information was then passed on to Electronic Box. Our systems indicate that the IP address provided in this report was associated with your account at this precise time. We are legally required to send out this notice due to the new Copyright Act that took effect on January 1, 2015.
→ You can view the original and unedited copy of the report filed by the copyright holder at the end of this message.
What does this notice mean and what information should I know?
According to our privacy policy, your name and your personal information have not been revealed to the copyright holder. Your personal information can only be revealed to a third party if a court ordered warrant is issued by a court who holds jurisdiction over the matter, which has not occurred in your situation.- Electronic Box does not track your Internet history nor do we collect information about you. We only keep your IP address and your usage on file for billing purposes. This notice was transmitted to us by a copyright holder or an agent on behalf of them, and we are legally obliged to inform you of such notice. Electronic Box does not in any way monitor your online activity.
- We are only sending this notice as a third party. Protecting your privacy is very important to us. We are not able to track or identify your Internet browsing and search history. Following this notice, we are legally required to save your IP address, as well as the date and time of the alleged violation, for a period of six months. This applies whether the account is currently with us or has been closed. If a situation arises where the copyright holder decides to file a suit against you in a court of law, Electronic Box may be required to keep your IP address, and the date and time of the alleged violation, for a longer period time.
How can a copyright holder know my IP address?
- Copyright holders aim to protect the work of authors. It is not uncommon that computers are set up which are designed to exchange files over the Internet with other users. When you or another individual using your network downloads or shares files, your IP address becomes visible in order to initiate the transfer. They are then able to log the time, the IP address, and the name of the file in question. A letter is then sent to the Internet Service Provider (also referred to as the “ISP”) associated to that IP address informing them of the copyright violation. According to the Copyright Act, this notice must now be transmitted to our clients as of January 1, 2015.
Can Electronic Box be penalized if they do not send out this notice?
- According to the Copyright Act, we can be fined between $5 and $10,000 if we do not send out this notice. Please understand that as a result, we are legally obliged to send this out to you.
Is there any possibility that I could receive a fine?
- As long as the copyright holder does not take legal action against you, no fine can be issued. If the copyright holder decides to take legal action, we will take all necessary actions in order to advise you of such.
- In Canada, according to the Copyright Act, an individual found guilty of a copyright violation can be fined up to $5,000. A company found guilty of such can be fined between $500 and $20,000.
How can I obtain more information on the matter, and what can I do?
- Electronic Box cannot provide you with legal advice regarding the matter. A lawyer specialized in online laws could provide you with more information. If your IP address is eventually pursued in a court of law, we will send you an email providing you with all of the information that we have. Only a court who holds jurisdiction over the matter can force us to reveal your personal details.
I don't understand what is going on, was my account hacked?
- We strongly suggest that you secure your wireless network and that you regularly change the password in order to avoid unauthorized use of your connection. We also recommend that you install an anti-virus program, and that you scan your computer to make sure that it is not infected. We advise that you inform any other user that may be using the connection to follow those same steps. Finally, please regularly check your Internet usage on our new usage counter, available on the Support section on our website, to ensure that there is no unusual usage associated with your connection.
What was Electronic Box's position regarding copyright violations before January 1, 2015?
- Electronic Box did not participate in the copyright violation notification system. You have therefore never received any notice regarding these matters on our behalf. Our clients' personal information has never been revealed to any third party except in cases where a court ordered warrant has been issued by one who holds jurisdiction over the matter.
- We do not keep any notices received before 2015. These notices will therefore not be sent to our clients.
Does it cost anything to send out this notice and who has to pay the fee?
- The Copyright Act authorizes Minister of Industry to set a fee for transmitting copyright violation notices. Currently, it does not cost anything to send out this notice, as no fee has yet been imposed.
How many complaints do you receive of this nature?
- We may receive tens of thousands of complaints of this nature on a monthly basis. Our systems are designed specifically to send out these notices while ensuring that our clients' privacy is protected.
Where can I obtain a copy of the Copyright Act?
- http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/C-42/Index.html

The amounts listed in the original message do not correspond with those listed in the current laws in Canada.
- Electronic Box only acts as a third party when sending the original message. In the United States of America, under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), the penalties for copyright violations vary from those of Canada, and are generally higher. It is possible that the message has been sent out by American copyright holders, and that a Canadian version was not available. Electronic Box is legally obliged to send you the original unedited message received below. Since we are required to forward the original and unedited message, we cannot be held responsible for it's conformity with laws in your province and precisely regarding language laws.
