As I posted on earlier in the week, this is a reminder to people to stop sending notices to Copy Control.
From midnight (AEST) the infringements@ and enforcement@ mailboxes will go offline. Please ensure that you stop sending copies of DMCA and infringement reports to those addresses.
For those people who are sending paper (snail mail) based reports, please note that no further reports will be received and those received from Monday morning will be returned to sender.
Throughout today I'll be halting our various bots and shutting down the servers hosting them. All tools will be taken offline at midnight.
If you were one of the (few) companies or people that had a representation agreement with Copy Control, all of the reports to domain registrars and hosting companies have been suspended so no more confirmation emails will be sent out.
The last reports to various payment processors will go out at 5pm today, however we won't be receiving information on the outcome of those reports. As of now there are 19 sites in the queue to be dealt with. I would expect that all of these will lose one or more forms of payment processing as a result.
The Copy Control phone number will be answered as normal by reception until 5pm (AEST) today. The fax number will go offline at midnight. If you were sending faxed reports then please stop these coming.
The report Piracy form on the Copy Control website will be removed later today, thank you to the hundreds of people who sent in tips via that form.
The Copy Control website will stay up for the remainder of the financial year (until June 30, 2014) and the contact form may still be used until then, however we won't be dealing with adult piracy matters through that form so please don't send reports there.
Thank you to every company and person who supported or participated or volunteered their time to this effort.
