Copyright information / DMCA Registered Agen
Please note that in most cases, unless infringing content is located at a dal.net web address (something that looks like http://channels.dal.net/channelname/), that content is most likely hosted on an ISP not affiliated with BexWorlds and BexWorlds can do very little to get the content removed.
For instance, if a user on a DSL, or other form of internet access offers copyright infringing content to other users by sending them a message via IRC, BexWorlds can do very little to impede this user's ability to offer said material. The user is under the jurisdiction of their ISP, who controls their access to the internet. Banning a user from BexWorlds, for instance, will not in any way impede that user's ability to exchange files using his or her computer.
Indeed, it has been BexWorlds experience in the past, when attempting to block an unscrupulous user, that completely banning the user from BexWorlds (the most severe action BexWorlds can take), the user will either find a new ISP (thus circumventing the host-based or IP-based ban), or start right up again using a new IRC network.
Files exchanged between users via 'DCC' occur as a function of the IRC client in use by the two users; the file transferred never touches, is stored by, or otherwise transits any computer or network associated with BexWorlds. Therefore, it is impossible for BexWorlds to block such file transfers.
BexWorlds strongly believes that the best way to get decisive action against a user offering copyrighted materiel is to go directly to that user's ISP and at the same time file civil or criminal charges directly against that user.
If needed, BexWorlds will cooperate with law enforcement with any information or assistance BexWorlds can provide (though again, BexWorlds cannot help much other than possibly to provide channel and nickname registration logs; BexWorlds does not collect personal information other than a user's e-mail address which is used for registration confirmation purposes.)
To report copyright infringement on web pages or computers hosted by BexWorlds, please e-mail BexWorlds@gmail.com Please note that due to the fact that BexWorlds is staffed entirely by volunteers, e-mail is the most expeditious way to get a request answered. Volunteers and resources are unfortunately not available to process paper mail or telephone calls in a timely manner.
We request that send correspondence to e-mail BexWorlds@gmail.com in order to expedite the processing of your request.
