Mailing a form with $105 to "Copyright RRP" with a PO Box in DC seems pretty sketchy. Second, is this really an issue that online communities need to address?

Mailing a form with $105 to "Copyright RRP" with a PO Box in DC seems pretty sketchy.
Second, is this really an issue that online communities need to address? In our site's terms and conditions, we clearly list a DCMA contact and registered agent. Is that not enough?
And who are these funds going to? A government agency? A contractor?
As I said, on the surface this seems pretty sketchy.
- gosuri 16y agoThe PDF is at "copyright.gov". Moreover, check out http://www.copyright.gov/onlinesp/ http://www.copyright.gov/onlinesp/ the P.O. Box 71537 matches. What's the "sketchy" part here? If you get sued by a copy-right troller, you have the option of hiring a lawyer to defend your "Terms of Service" or pay $105 and avoid the headache.
- blantonl 16y agoThanks gosuri. Succinctly answered.
- smarterchild 16y agoIs this something you can do after being sued?
- qeorge 16y agoNo. Think of it like this: if your dog bites someone today, keeping the dog on a leash in the future won't help you now.
