The legislation of whatever jurisdiction you happen to be in.
If you have received a notice of copyright infringement from Spectrum, it means they believe you have violated copyright laws by using or sharing protected material without permission.
Unauthorized copying, altering, distributing, or performing/displaying a work is copyright infringement.
Spectrum may send multiple copyright infringement notices if they detect unauthorized sharing of copyrighted material on their network. It is important to comply with copyright laws to avoid receiving these notices.
Nothing about it is "legal." Copyright infringement is illegal.
If someone is no stranger to allegations of copyright infringement, it means he gets accused of copyright infringement a lot.
This means that the person did not mean to break any copyright laws when they were using someone Else's idea.
Absolutely yes all intellectual property laws apply on the net just as they do in the "real world". Copyright laws do not have exceptions based on where an infringement takes place. An infringement is an infringement the only difference being which set of laws (depending on jurisdiction) take precenence.
A person or company who violates copyright can be sued by the copyright holder.
It is possible that Charter has sent you a notice of copyright infringement.
I have not received a Spectrum copyright infringement notice.
Copyright infringement is primarily a civil offense however there are options to prosecute criminally in the case of "willful and deliberate" acts of infringement. Ignorance of the existence of copyright is not a viable defense to infringement. If an author is convicted of copyright infringement the publisher can be held liable for contributory infringement if it can be shown that they had knowledge of the infringement prior to publication. If, by a preponderance of the evidence, infringement can be shown then yes a damages award to the copyright holder can be granted.
You should report copyright infringement to the website or platform where the infringement is taking place, or to the copyright owner directly. You can also report it to the U.S. Copyright Office or seek legal advice for further action.
