ResNet DMCA Notice Resource Page

This page contains procedures and documents that are involved in ResNet DMCA enforcement. Please email resnet@csuchico.edu with any questions.

The process, in general

1. The university receives a notice from a copyright holder (e.g. The MPAA, the RIAA, Sony/Columbia).
2. Student Computing determines the owner of the computer that was sharing the files and the following actions are taken:
   • The computer is removed from the network.
   • An email is sent to the student's WildcatMail account. The student's RCC and the Coordinator for Residence Hall Student Conduct are sent a copy.
   • Student Computing files an Incident Report in the UHFS Incident Reporting system.
3. At this point, it is the resident's responsibility to complete the remediation steps him/herself, or schedule an appointment with a ResNet technician for assistance.
4. Two things are needed for the resident's computer to be reconnected:
   1. An email sent to resnet@csuchico.edu by the resident per the remediation instructions that were emailed to the resident.
   2. Verification by the resident's RCC or ARCC that a conduct meeting has taken place (an email to resnet@csuchico.edu will work fine).
5. Once those two pieces of information are received, the resident's computer is allowed back on to the network.
6. Repeat offenses result in an indefinite loss of all network privileges and the resident is referred to the Coordinator for Residence Hall Student Conduct.
