Why does an ISP send DMCA notices to its subscribers for copyright owners?
Notice whether the letter came from an Internet Service Provider (ISP) and not from the copyright owner. The Digital Millenium Copyright Act both protects ISPs from copyright liability (leaving the end user with that liability) and requires ISPs to participiate in a “takedown” process when copyright owners claim infriging use. See the FAQs associated with this notice for more information.
