I think the true reason the ARIN blockholder gets the notice is that whois lookups can be automated, and it is a bit harder to automate a lookup in the correct library of congress copyright database. Connectivity providers that actually do not host should not be getting these notices at all, but how would you automate that? Most of these notices are totally generated with automation, no human review at all for things like "Fair Use".

Specifically: DMCA violation notices go to the SWIPed contacts instead of the original holder.


Sorry but that is only the theory. In practice they tend to go to the original holder. 80 to 90% of the DMCA notices I get are on addresses that are SWIPed and should be sent to the listed contacts but I have to handle them. (the other 10-20% I am the listed contact as all networks are SWIPed)

What the DMCA complainant knows is that in almost all cases the SWIPed contacts has no knowledge of networking or DMCA issues. Other than for a small help in dealing with law enforcement and ARIN itself I consider the
SWIP requirement a total waste of time.

However as a good netizen and due to issues with ARIN when I requested additional ipv4 several years ago relative to
/30 and /32 assignments we SWIP all assignments in v4 down to /32

Someone want to remind us all of what the "benefits" of SWIP are?
