Have we considered SWIPing the blocks?

A DMCA notice is not necessarily a violation caused by the registrant of the IP, but perhaps one of their users.

I've had DMCA notices for unused IP's before, so not all are valid. However 90% of them valid and are people running bit torrent for movies and stuff.

How many DMCA notices are you getting from 44/8 on a monthly basis?

Keep in mind that this is a violation of our terms of service and is cause to have network access revoked.

Please be careful not to cause me to get more of these.

Thank you.
