Section 512(a) <http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/17/512.html> protects
service providers who are passive conduits from liability for copyright
infringement, even if infringing traffic passes through their networks.
In other words, provided the infringing material is being transmitted at
the request of a third party to a designated recipient, is handled by an
automated process without human intervention, is not modified in any
way, and is only temporarily stored on the system, the service provider
is not liable for the transmission.
My company is not responsible and I have don't see anything in there
that says that we have to do anything in the absence of a subpoena or
court order.

For those of you who are just ignoring these: I'd recommend you read up

In short, if you follow the steps under the law, you have an affirmative
defense against the copyright holders suing you for contributory
infringement.
