The Graduated Response™ System
Audible Magic’s Graduated Response system is an integral part of the CopySense appliance and CopySense compliance service. It is the only system of its kind to provide an automated, immediate and graduated response to illegal file sharing of copyrighted material. The patented technology enables administrators to fully customize responses to support an institution’s network use policies.
Build Better Digital Citizens by Leveraging the Teachable Moment
As infractions are caught, the Graduated Response system automatically sends a message to the user. The immediacy of the message captures the user’s attention, leveraging the teachable moment.
The Results
- Students gain a new respect for the copyrights and intellectual property rights of others yielding a new generation of better digital citizens.
- On-going use of your network for unauthorized downloads is mitigated.
- Full compliance with HEOA regulations.
Graduated Responses Automatically Elevate Sanctions as Needed
Benefits
- Leverages the teachable moment — copyright infractions are detected automatically in real time.
- Messages are easily customized to support your educational and judicial policies.
- Network usage can be blocked for a specific and graduated period of time.
- Automatic detection and response reduces the drain on staff resources.
The Graduated Response system fully supports the three-strikes policies in place at many colleges and universities. The system’s staged educational and judicial approach automatically communicates graduating levels of responses.
It is simple and straightforward. The more times a user is caught, the more severe the sanctions.
Sanctions can also include the automatic blocking of network access for a particular user for a specified and graduated period of time.
Automation Reduces Drain on Staff Resources
Because detection and response are automated, you save time, headcount and money.
Network administrators are no longer consumed with trying to manage their large systems for illegal downloads. And the tedious tracking, verification and follow-up of DMCA notices on a one-on-one basis are greatly reduced.
How it Works
The CopySense network device monitors a user’s network traffic based on your institution’s academic and judicial policies. This flexible approach gives you complete control over your network with the ability to define:
- Your institution’s network use policy
- What constitutes a violation
- The significance of each violation
- When and what sanctions are to be triggered
There are two key elements to the Graduated Response system: the CopySense network device and the Graduated Response website.
