Summary
A standard approach to receipt and processing of copyright notifications for CWRU operations.
This Standard applies to external entities wishing to communicate with the university for the purpose of delivery of copyright infringement notices.
Purpose
This policy is to ensure streamlined and common inputs are received for copyright infringement notices.
The officially sanctioned address to receive copyright infringement notices is:
Any copyright infringement email notices shall be addressed by the sender to the officially sanctioned address.
Automated report messages sent to the university shall adhere to the Automated Copyright Notification System ACNS 2.0 format.
Automated messages sent to the officially sanctioned address will be processed by the university in accordance with its program to effectively combat illegal P2P file sharing.
Copyright notifications not pertinent to P2P file sharing will be forwarded to the appropriate copyright compliance officials.
Any copyright infringement email notices sent to any other email address may be discarded.
