----------------------------------------------------
Dear Insightbb.com Customer,
There is important information that you need to know regarding
the role Insight is required to play in enforcing copyrights.
In 1998, Congress passed the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA)
(
http://www.loc.gov/copyright/legislation/dmca.pdf), which allows
copyright holders to enforce their copyrighted material by requesting
that Internet service providers takedown infringing material or
disclose the identity of persons that use the Internet to infringe
on copyrights. Representatives of copyright owners routinely scan
computers through file sharing software or websites to identify
infringers of their copyrights. If Insight is notified by a
copyright holder of an infringement, we may be required to notify a
customer of the alleged violation and turn off the customers service
if the infringement continues. We may also be required pursuant to
the DMCA to disclose the infringing customers identity to the copyright
holder. This is true for any Internet service provider, whether a
broadband or narrowband provider.
Copyright holders are becoming extremely aggressive in pursuing the
rights afforded them under the DMCA. Many of our customers are unaware
that unauthorized downloading of copyrighted music and movies over the
Internet is illegal. File sharing in itself is not illegal, but
downloading copyrighted material from the Internet - without proper
authorization - is illegal. Such activity is also prohibited by Insights
Acceptable Use Policy governing the use of your Insightbb.com High Speed
Broadband service.
We also want to caution you that file sharing can be dangerous to
your computer. Many of the file-sharing programs include other
"sub-programs" built into their software code. When you leave
file sharing ports open to the Internet, it may allow others to
access and use your computer resources to do a myriad of tasks for
their own benefit. Open ports also make you a target for viruses
and put your personal information at risk.
If you wish to be fully informed about the Dangers of File Sharing,

Our Help Page also offers information on how to disable file
sharing.

Insightbb.com encourages you to install a firewall and virus
protection software to further protect your computer and its files.
This software can be found on the Internet or purchased from most
computer retailers.
It is our hope you will find this information helpful and make you
better informed about the dangers of file sharing over the web.
Thank you,
Kim Kelly
President Insight Communications
