How does illegal file-sharing hurt Stanfords online security and networking?
In Stanford’s experience, approximately 95% of recipients of first time DMCA complaints never receive a second. Accordingly, Stanford is of the view that, except in exceptional circumstances, a first DMCA complaint is between the recipient and Security and, once resolved, it does not go beyond the Information Security Office. Note that receiving a single DMCA complaint, or even none at all, does not preclude you from receiving a pre-litigation letter, or being sued directly. Return to top Q: What will happen if I receive a second DMCA complaint? A. Connectivity to the Internet will be temporarily disabled while you are given a chance to either remove the allegedly offending material, or stop sharing it. At a minimum, the Information Security Office will refer the matter to your residence dean, and charge a reconnection fee of $500. Contact ISO if you have concerns about the reconnection fee.
