SEVP is a part of the National Security Investigations Division and acts as a bridge for government organizations that have an interest in information on nonimmigrants whose primary reason for coming to the United States is to be students.
The joint FBI/HSI anti-piracy warning displays, for the first time, the HSI badge alongside the FBI anti-piracy warning seal and states that, "The unauthorized reproduction or distribution of this copyrighted work is illegal. Criminal copyright infringement is investigated by federal law enforcement agencies and is punishable by up to 5 years in prison and a fine of $250,000." A second screen displays the IPR Center logo with the educational message, "Piracy is not a victimless crime. For more information on how digital theft harms the economy, please visit www.iprcenter.gov.""Our nation's film and TV business is critical to our economy," said ICE Director John Morton. "Its creativity and imagination have made American entertainment one of our greatest exports over the decades, but criminals are increasingly engaging in new forms of digital theft. Law enforcement must continue to expand how it combats criminal activity; public awareness and education are a critical part of that effort." The IPR Center works closely with public and private entities to increase awareness and information sharing about the harmful effects of piracy on American innovation, lost jobs and the economy. The IPR Center also brings attention to the organized criminal enterprises often behind IP theft and the public safety implications of counterfeit goods.In June 2010, HSI launched Operation In Our Sites, which targets online commercial intellectual property crime, including websites offering pirated movies and television shows as well as a diverse array of counterfeit goods, such as sports equipment, shoes, handbags, athletic apparel, sunglasses and DVD boxed sets. To date, more than 760 domain names of websites engaged in the sale and distribution of counterfeit goods and illegal copyrighted works have been seized as a result of Operation In Our Sites. Eleven individuals have been charged with crimes or arrested, and more than $1 million has been seized as criminal proceeds.As the largest investigative arm of the Department of Homeland Security, HSI plays a leading role in targeting criminal organizations responsible for producing, smuggling and distributing counterfeit and pirated products. HSI focuses not only on keeping counterfeit products off our streets, but also on dismantling the criminal organizations behind such illicit activity.The IPR Center is one of the U.S. government's key weapons in the fight against criminal counterfeiting and piracy. As a task force, the IPR Center uses the expertise of its 20 member agencies to share information, develop initiatives, coordinate enforcement actions and conduct investigations related to IP theft. Through this strategic interagency partnership, the IPR Center protects the public's health and safety, the U.S. economy and our war fighters.To report IP theft or to learn more about the IPR Center, visit www.IPRCenter.gov.

If you have received an Anti-Piracy warning on a device connected to the WIU network, this warning is a result of some illegal activity on your computer. It has been reported to the system that there are illegal downloads or unauthorized sharing of copyrighted material. This type of activity is not acceptable at Western Illinois University; see the procedure below for more information.
Upon receipt of a DMCA Violation Notice, WIU will respond by forwarding the notice to the copyright infringer and initiate or escalate the WIU Graduated Response Copyright Infringement Prevention Process for the infringer.
Copyright infringement is the act of exercising, without permission or legal authority, one or more of the exclusive rights granted to the copyright owner under section 106 of the Copyright Act (Title 17 of the United States Code). These rights include the right to reproduce or distribute a copyrighted work. In the file-sharing context, downloading or uploading substantial parts of a copyrighted work without authority constitutes an infringement.
Penalties for copyright infringement include civil and criminal penalties. In general, anyone found liable for civil copyright infringement may be ordered to pay either actual damages or "statutory" damages affixed at not less than $750 and not more than $30,000 per work infringed. For "willful" infringement, a court may award up to $150,000 per work infringed. A court can, in its discretion, also assess costs and attorneys' fees. For details, see Title 17, United States Code, Sections 504, 505.
Here is a idea I thought of for a long time. Now that Pochven is in the game and every route from the Amarr regions is cut off due to the 24/7 gank/pirate camps in choke point systems. Most of which are low sec (due to CCP making the new gates that came into play go to low sec for the Amarr regions). We all know ganking/piracy is apart of the eve life I am in no way saying to get rid of or change the current ganking/Piracy mechanics. But I am suggesting a way for those that do go out to hunt down and kill gankers/pirates to actually benefit from it other than just getting a kill mail.
pilot kills a criminal they should get a security increase based on the targets standings. To keep this from being exploited by the criminals it will be a small increase say .01 increase for a -10 pilot. Kill can only happen high and low sec systems. Or something similar to the way Pochven does standing increase. and you have to already have a max security standings for this to apply.
3b. I would also think that to have a structure the corp CEO has to have and maintain a omega account to place one or to accept one. If CEO loses the clone status of Omega then the structure should go into a low abandoned stat for a period of time so those that have stuff there can move their stuff out of it.
Isk reward from concord. This I would think to be simple depending on the size of the ship the reward would be the same as the reward for a belt rat of the same class size. (hmmm ratting the pirates??)
someday maybe concord can release some of its OLD ship designs for sale to capsuleers like a faction ship. But have them look like the old concord ships from back in 2007 2008. But they would have a system in them that would only allow players with a security standing above say a 6 to be able to fly one. The larger the ship the larger the standing requirements. Ships would need to be nerfed on the firepower for player use. Also maybe even make them so they cannot operate in null sec (except NPC null)
I think the above suggestion would encourage more players to get into pvp or at least dip their toes into it and learn some things. It would also give the gankers targets that have the ability and are able to fight back or hunt them down. Instead of seeing Dock Workers alliance perma camping the chock points for crossing eve maybe you might start seeing anti-criminals camps on gates. I think even Pirates would like these ideas. It rewards players for engaging in anti-piracy pvp and would give even more pvp content to the criminals.
This by no means a grip or flame. It is a idea that I think would add content to the game. It would not change the way the current mechanics work for ganking/piracy. If you have sensible and reasonable suggestions to add go ahead. If you think one of these ideas is really bad please say so and give your reason why. But I ask that you do not say i am just wining and bitching about ganking/piracy I am not , I have alt that I use from time to time to gank I also have a null sec pvp alt so I been on both the giving and receiving end of gank/piracy. Both fleet and solo.
When there is zero reasonable alternative to a single choke point yes there is an issue. (Yes yes, alternatives exist but they are not reasonable for any large scale freighting)
Several different choke points that people can pick between and/or a slightly wider choke point create a more even opportunity system.
These are just some ideas to reward those that do hunt outlaws and maybe even get some new people doing the same. It is not about nerfing gank camps. It is more about rewarding those that hunt criminals getting rewards for doing so and having heavily camped systems being affected by the camps. This is not all one thing it is several ideas which any or all can be discussed
Reconsider travel to Papua New Guinea due to crime, civil unrest, and piracy. Exercise increased caution due to kidnapping, unexploded ordnance, inconsistent availability of healthcare services, and potential for natural disasters. Some areas have increased risk. Read the entire Travel Advisory.
Country Summary: Violent crime, including sexual assault, carjackings, home invasions, and armed robberies, is common. There have been reports of criminals attacking resorts popular with foreign tourists to steal goods and money. Tensions between communal or tribal groups may lead to civil unrest involving violence and can occur without warning. Police presence is limited outside of the capital, Port Moresby, and police may be unable to assist due to limited resources. The U.S. government has limited ability to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens outside of Port Moresby due to limited transportation infrastructure. U.S. government employees must obtain authorization before traveling to areas of concern, including the central part of Bougainville and the provinces of Southern Highlands, Western Highlands (excluding Mt. Hagen), Eastern Highlands (excluding Goroka), Hela, Enga, Jiwaka, and other areas of Papua New Guinea where one is unable to fly directly.
