In particular, Sections 41.25 and 41.26 of the Copyright Act now require ISPs to forward their users notices of claimed infringement on behalf of copyright owners whose works have allegedly been pirated. In the event of an illegal download of a copyrighted work, the copyright owner may alert the ISP of the infringement by providing them with the electronic location data (IP address) of the alleged infringer. The ISP is then required to send a notice to the user, informing them that content has been illegally downloaded to their IP address and, as the case may be, advising them to cease any activity that violates the Copyright Act.
