ACNS Proposal

• Background:

– Universal has submitted the ACNS proposal to the RFI from the Technology Task Force of the “Colleges Joint Committee of the Higher Education and Entertainment Communities”.

– Universal is arranging tests and pilots with technology vendors and interested parties.

– Universal has incorporated XML into our Infringement notices since summer 2003

Current Notice Process

MONITORING SERVICE

1. Infringement Located

COPYRIGHT AGENT

2. Infringement Data Reported

Many Internet protocols and P2P networks are

scanned by the monitoring service.

Infringement reports are checked by the agent and a copyright infringement

notice is generated.

ISP/University DMCA or Abuse agent

3. Notice Sent to ISP

Agent takes actions to block access to file

reported in the notice.

ACNS Architecture

• Design Goals:

– Capable of rapid development and deployment: take advantage of the popularity of traffic management devices

– Use established concept of copyright notice.

– Resistant to P2P evolutionary measures like encryption

System can be easily modified to address concerns over loss of network control or spurious notices by inserting manual control points.

Manual approval point can be inserted before rules are enforced at the Traffic Shaper.

ACNS Architecture

• System Elements:

– Monitoring Station: Identify illegitimate content distribution by joining the P2P network and searching for specific content.

– Traffic Shaper: Identify network traffic based on packets and enforce “penalty box” rules such as blocking traffic, bandwidth limits, or lower priorities.

• Example Vendors: Ellacoya, P-Cube, Cisco, Akonix

• Devices already deployed at many universities (800+) for cost savings.

• Moving into ISP market -- cable ISPs use “penalty box” to control bandwidth hogs.

ACNS Architecture

• System Elements:

– “Penalty-Box”: Traffic-shapers already support very flexible rules such as: (i) block infringer’s P2P traffic for X hours; (ii) block outgoing P2P traffic; (iii) assign lower priority and bandwidth limit to infringer; etc.

– Resistant to Encryption: Only need to identify the type of traffic, not the content.

• For example, existing traffic shapers are able to identify encrypted Freenet traffic.

– Applicable to other distribution methods: FTP, IRC, HTTP, etc.

Standardized Notice Format

• Standardized Notice Format:

– Service providers complain about the lack of a standardized copyright notice across movie, music, and software industries.

– Universal has developed a standard XML format to append to copyright notices.

– Schema has been finalized incorporating RIAA, MPAA, and IFPI feedback. In process of broadening to vendors (BayTSP, MediaSentry, Ranger, etc.) and other industries (BSA, etc.).

– Universal Studios and other studios are now using the XML in their notices.

– Many other copyright holders such as software and music companies are in the process of implementing the standard XML notice.

Advantages of ACNS

• Advantages:

– Required staff resources for responding to copyright notices are greatly reduced.

– Copyright notices are more efficiently handled and compliance tracking is improved, thus reducing potential liability.

– Service provider’s own network policies are efficiently enforced.

– Flexible, limited response via “penalty-box”.

Advantages of ACNS

• Advantages for content owners:

– Reduces time required to get infringing content off the network, and avoid waiting until “business hours” for removal.

– Containment: faster response means viral replication of content is limited.
