I think the essential requirement is very similar even though the implementation differs a whole lot.<br><br>The person who claims to "own" the material being copied must present proof that it is indeed being copied and not just a vague statement that " they are using what looks a lot like my work".<br>
<br>That much is universal!<br><br>Karen<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jun 1, 2010 at 9:52 PM, Anders Arnholm <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:anders@arnholm.se">anders@arnholm.se</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

The sad fact of the matter is this... If you open your grid to the public, you GIVE YOURSELF the responsibility to respond to appropriate DMCA take down requests. Because OpenSimulator is an alpha product, there are not any real established "best practices" or step-by-step procedures<br>

DMCA is a very US law, and few other parts of the world have yet any similar laws. Thats why the US press so hard in the ACTA negotiation for having that added. The proper way in Sweden here is for the person that have the copied item to either make a criminal case by making talking to the nearest police station. Or a civil case, sending in a request to the court to order the operator to give out the personal information they have on someone. The courts have also made changed many see as against the EU registrations to take down bandwith to the site PirateBay. The ISP have taken this to a sigher court instance so what that wil end in is not sure yet.<br>
<br>
In fact a ISP or grid operator is regulated to be not allowed to do some parts om the US DMCA laws unless a court takes the decition. They are not allowed to give out any information about there customers. They are not allowed to keep eccessive logs not needed for billing and so on.<br>
<br>
In the end the legal ways varried greatly with WHERE you are operating.<br>
<br>
Would I have a grid, a user agreement written wel may give me the right to take down users content when a creator asks me. I have no "obligations" until he court orders me. The situations is totally different here.<br>
