Digital Millennium Copyright Act Policy Explained

Welcome to our Website, where we value the intellectual property rights of others and expect the same in return. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) allows copyright owners to submit takedown notices to us if they believe their rights have been violated. As an internet service provider, we can claim immunity under the DMCA’s “safe harbor” provisions when handling copyright infringement claims.

What to Include in a Notice of Infringement

1. A signature from the copyright owner or authorized representative.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work that has been infringed.
3. Details of the infringing material, including the URL to locate it.
4. Contact information of the complaining party.
5. A statement confirming unauthorized use of the material.
6. An assurance that the notification is accurate and authorized by the copyright owner.

Under Title 17 USC §512(f), penalties apply for misrepresenting information in a notification of infringement.

Takedown notices should be sent through our Contact page, preferably via email for quicker processing.

When submitting a copyright infringement claim, be aware that we may share your identity with the alleged infringer.

Counter Notification Process

If your material is taken down due to a copyright claim, you can send a counter notification to have it restored. This notification must include:

1. Your signature.
2. Details of the material taken down and its original location.
3. A statement asserting that the removal was a mistake or misidentification.
4. Your contact information and consent to jurisdiction for legal purposes.

Submit counter notices through our Contact page, with email as the preferred method.

Repeat Infringer Policy

We enforce a strict policy against repeat copyright infringers and terminate their accounts accordingly.
