MPA Reply Comments to the FCC’s Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in the Matter of Safeguarding and Securing

The MPA submitted comments on the Federal Communications Commission’s Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in the matter of Safeguarding and Securing the Open Internet.

MPA takes no position on whether the Commission should adopt its proposed net neutrality rules, but we applaud the Commission’s effort to safeguard anti-piracy activities under its proposed rules. Specifically, MPA commends the Commission’s inclusion of the following language in proposed section 8.2(f) affirming the ability of broadband providers to continue to address the scourge of online piracy:

Nothing in this part prohibits reasonable efforts by a provider of broadband internet access service to address copyright infringement or other unlawful activity.
