computers and storage devices linked to the account and that all copies (CDs,
DVDs, flash drives, etc.) have been erased or destroyed;
(3) If P2P software is not being used for lawful purposes, it has been deleted;
and

“shared folder” are ones that are authorized to be distributed in this way and
all others have been deleted.
(E) Notices sent by owners of copyrighted materials, or their agents, to the
ISP will be forwarded to the subscriber and the subscriber may be required to
provide proof to the ISP that all terms and conditions of the notice have been
satisfactorily met before service will be restored.
