Over the past decade it’s become fairly normal to see Rights Holders pursue individual broadband ISPs when one of the internet provider\u2019s customers is suspected of committing copyright infringement (piracy). Now the same is starting to happen further upstream, with major internet backbone provider Hurricane Electric<\/a> in the firing line.<\/p>\n

At the ISP level (Tier 3) it makes sense for copyright firms to target those providers because they actually know the individual users of their service and may also have a limited degree of control and oversight over that user’s traffic. In the UK a broadband ISP cannot be forced by rights holders<\/strong> to disconnect one of their customers for suspected activity, which is partly because they can only identify the bill payer for a service (on a shared network they may not be the ones who committed the offence, such as on hotel WiFi<\/a> etc.) and IP address based evidence is known to be quite fallible.<\/p>\n

The internet is structured through several different Tiers (1, 2 and 3 etc.). For example, further upstream from broadband ISPs you have major backbone and colocation providers (third-party intermediaries), which help to supply and route traffic around the world. Such backbone providers are even further removed from individual internet users and so any action they take may affect an entire network or location, as oppose to a specific user.<\/p>\n

In other words, expecting internet backbone providers to control what each individual user does on one of their customer’s broadband networks is akin to asking an ocean to turn off the sea for a specific fish, it’s unworkable without potentially causing widespread disruption.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless TorrentFreak<\/a> reports that Rights Holders, which are connected to movies such as ‘Rambo: Last Blood<\/em>‘, ‘London Has Fallen<\/em>‘, ‘Dallas Buyers Club<\/em>‘ and many others, have recently begun to demand that Hurricane Electric<\/strong> (they do things at both a Tier 1 and 2 sort of level) take action (disconnection) to stop an individual internet user (in this case a single specific IP address) from allegedly pirating their copyright content and pay $500,000 in damages<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The rights holders made their demand after first obtaining a subpoena which required the backbone provider to share the personal details of pirating subscribers (the equivalent UK process is known as a Norwich Pharmacal Order<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

In response HE has now filed two lawsuits, one in California and one in Nevada, against the rights holders in the hope of putting a stop to their claims. The backbone provider is essentially requesting a Declaratory Judgement<\/strong> stating that it’s not responsible for copyright infringements that take place through its customers.<\/p>\n

Statement from Hurricane Electric<\/strong><\/p>\n

“[The] Defendants\u2019 cease and desist letters are demanding that upstream service providers like HE simply shut down entire Internet Service Providers (ISPs) that provide Internet access to thousands and sometimes tens of thousands of people, based solely on allegations of infringement by even a single unidentified end-user subscriber to an ISP.<\/p>\n

Defendants are thus putting HE in an impossible situation, all based on an improper and unlawful overextension of Defendants\u2019 alleged copyright rights.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The case is important as it could have an impact on some fundamental elements and understandings of how the internet works, as well as responsibility at different levels of traffic flow. “It is simply not appropriate to shut down an entire city, a school system, rural area with subscribers covering a 5-state region, or an airport internet provider … because defendants do not want to bother contacting the ISP providing service<\/em>,” added HE.<\/p>\n

On top of that HE has accused the rights holders letters of being “abusive, tortious, and otherwise wrongful<\/em>.” On the other hand there is a precedent set for major backbone providers to disconnect entire client networks. In the past both HE and other major carriers, such as Global Crossing<\/strong>, disconnected McColo<\/strong> from the internet due to the large amount of malware and botnets being facilitated by that particular network at the time (the volume of worldwide spam immediately dropped by a noticeable level).<\/p>\n

However, disconnecting an entire network for distributing masses of malware is on an entirely different level from expecting the same action because a single internet user chose to pirate some movies. The internet wouldn’t work very well if backbone providers were expected to hold that kind of responsibility.<\/p>\n

On the other hand a quick check of the associated IP in this case shows that the address is owned by HE (normally the responsible ISP would be attached to IP ownership), which makes it easier to understand why the rights holders might have targeted them. Sadly TF’s article doesn’t mention which client ISP (i.e. the one actually responsible for the individual user) HE was referencing in their statement. As such some crucial context may be missing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
