The Automated Copyright Notice System was developed in 2003 by NBC Universal and Universal Music Group (UMG) with support from Disney to help facilitate the efficient handling of copyright infringement notices at ISPs. http://mpto.unistudios.com/xml/

Please refer to that site for background and previous versions.

ACNS has been successfully deployed at many locations. 

The document expands the original ACNS (0.7) to ACNS 2.0.  The extensions were motivated by feedback from Higher Education, ISPs and notice generation agents who wanted additional information to be carried within the basic framework.

ACNS 2.0 is designed to be fully backwards compatible with ACNS 0.7
