Dear Sri Tarun Gogineni,

University of Michigan has received a complaint alleging that a computer network address associated with you was used to distribute copyright-protected material without permission. The details of the complaint are below.

Why you received this complaint:

You are receiving this notice due to an alleged violation of copyright law involving peer-to-peer file-sharing software (e.g., BitTorrent) that occurred on the U-M network using an IP (network) address associated with you. Copyright infringement violates federal law and U-M policies. See Digital Copyright Compliance for more information:

http://safecomputing.umich.edu/copyright/

U-M is required to forward this complaint, as the alleged violation occurred on the U-M network. See The University of Michigan Plan for Compliance with the Higher Education Opportunity Act for more information about how U-M handles DMCA complaints:

Recommended action:

Search for and remove any unauthorized copies of the file(s) listed in the complaint, if present, from your computer.

If you use peer-to-peer file sharing software, ensure that copyright-protected material is not being shared. Some programs will, by default, share previously-downloaded files whenever your computer is on and connected to the network.

If the complaint below contains a settlement offer, you may consider getting legal advice. Student Legal Services is a free and confidential service for active U-M students:

http://studentlegalservices.umich.edu/contact-sls

The best way to avoid receiving future DMCA complaints is to uninstall your peer-to-peer file sharing software.

If we continue to receive DMCA complaints for copyright violations, you will be required to take a copyright compliance exam, may be reported to the Office of Student Conduct Resolution, and could be subject to disciplinary action .
