How to Submit a DMCA Takedown Notice
To be effective, a notification of claimed infringement must be a written communication to our DMCA Agent that includes substantially the following:
- Identification of the copyrighted work: Identify the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed. If multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, provide a representative list.
- Identification of the infringing material: Identify the material that you claim is infringing and that is to be removed, including the URL or other specific location on our site where the material appears.
- Your contact information: Include your address, telephone number, and email address.
- Good faith statement: A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- Accuracy statement: A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
- Signature: A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
Warning: Under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be subject to liability for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees.
Counter-Notification Procedure
If you believe that material you posted was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification. A counter-notification must include:
- Your physical or electronic signature
- Identification of the material that was removed and its location before removal
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification
- Your name, address, and telephone number
- A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in your district (or San Francisco, California if you are outside the U.S.) and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notification
Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original complainant. If the complainant does not notify us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action, we may restore the removed material.
Repeat Infringer Policy
In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, we have adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, access for users who are deemed to be repeat infringers.
Fair Use
Before submitting a DMCA notice, please consider whether the use of your copyrighted material constitutes fair use. Fair use allows limited use of copyrighted material without permission for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research.
Our use of third-party content is generally limited to factual information, brief quotations, and references to published works for the purpose of documenting matters of public concern.
