[Michlib-l] Illegally copying motion pictures

As I was preparing this query a colleague shared the article on copyright trollers sent in by Christine Hage. We received notice from Merit that an internet user in the library has engaged in illegally copying a motion picture that will be released this fall. Are there any libraries that have had the problem of patrons downloading/copying/distributing motion pictures or television shows (in violation of copyright)? How did you identify the offender and deal with the situation? As the notice came from NBC through Merit I consider it to be legit. Shirley A. Ehnis Library Director Adrian Public Library 143 E.
