[arin-ppml] Draft Policy ARIN-2017-5: Equalization of Assignment Registration requirements between IPv4 and IPv6

[hostmaster at uneedus.com]

I was always under the impression that the DMCA requires all notices go to 
the address registered for the domain with the Copyright Office under 
17 USC 512(c)(2).

I would not think that using a SWIP'ed contact address for DMCA purposes 
would be lawful, unless the URL used only an IP address, and it was within 
the SWIP'ed block. If a domain name was used, under the law, the notice 
must go to the domain owner contact registered with the copyright office. 
Domain owners often have multiple host A and AAAA records within blocks 
assigned by many upstream providers. The domain owner is solely 
responsible for takedown of content under the DMCA, if the content is 
hosted in the USA.  The Copyright holders often forget that USA law only 
applies in the USA, and issue notices anyway.

In fact, under section 512, ISP's who do not operate the server hosting 
the content and only providing an internet connection to it are 
specifically immune from suit.
