UCSB gets notification to the campus host master, who in turn decides what department is responsible for the IP in question (almost always us at ResNet for DMCA stuff). He notifies us with a form e-mail, we track down the student, give them notification as required by whatever act the infraction falls under (again, almost always DMCA), and tell them that if they must remove the material immediately or face possible legal action.
I also tell them that if there is ever a repeat offense, they run the very real risk of losing their connection for the academic year and/or legal action on behalf of the complaining party. The DMCA requires us to disclose the identity of the user in question to the host master (not the complainant) for just that reason (repeat offenses).
As far as AOL/Time Warner goes, I think that NetPD has enough work cut out for them harassing us at universities to last them until the NEXT millennium copyright act...I wonder if they even pursue private ISPs at this time.

Subject: copyright violations
Hi,
A question is been raised here about if the university should deal with
the copyright violations that was notified from entities like RIAA,
Motion Pictures Association, etc.,
Is your ResNet administration responsible for the sanctions at all or do
you turn them over to your judicial office/ legal department?
I also wonder if those entities like RIAA go after Time Warner or AOL
users? Are the ISPs responsible for the actions of the users?
