The Commerce & Economic Development Bureau today launched a public consultation on the
second draft of the Code of Practice for Online Service Providers.
It proposes amendments to the first draft, making it more practical and user-friendly. In it, providers must take action to limit and stop a particular infringement as soon as practicable, and a subscriber can ask providers not to disclose personal data when sending a copy of their counter notice to the complainant.
Providers will be required to keep records of the notices of alleged infringement and counter notices received for 18 months, and the complainants and subscribers will be required to provide more information.
Views can be sent to the bureau by
email by March 2.
