Yesterday I made a post about Comcast sending out DMCA copyright infringement notices to some of their customers (luckily, I am not one of them yet, though this makes me wish Verizon would install FIOS here rapidly).

Well apparently DarkMirage has been on the case and, if they are correct, it’s not only been confirmed that ODEX’s copyright infringement enforcement contractor BayTSP is indeed the one who sent out the original DMCA notices, but that apparently sending them out to ISPs outside of Singapore was a mistake on BayTSP’s part and that Comcast and, thus by extension, their customers shouldn’t have received the notices at all.

Apparently a commenter of DarkMirage’s blog messaged Peter Go of ODEX about the matter, and Mr. Go reponded that they have “fixed” the problem of BayTSP “misfiring” DMCA letters to ISPs. It’s unclear whether DarkMirage has independently confirmed this, so at the time being this is basically second-hand information and nothing has officially been confirmed, but this would match one of the theories that was floated around all day that BayTSP basically shot out letters to everyone, even though they weren’t supposed to.

Update:

As per DarkMirage’s comment below, yes, he independently confirmed that this was a mistake by BayTSP.
