DMCA Copyright Policy

1. Copyright infringement notice

A written notice should identify the copyrighted work and the material at issue, include enough information to locate the material, and provide the complaining party's contact information.

• A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized representative
• Identification of the copyrighted work, or a representative list when multiple works are covered
• Identification and location of the allegedly infringing material, including the page URL when available
• Your mailing address, telephone number, and email address
• A good-faith statement that the disputed use is not authorized by the owner, its agent, or the law
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner

2. Counter-notification

If you believe material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, your signed counter-notification should include:

• Identification of the removed or disabled material and its former location
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled because of mistake or misidentification
• Your name, mailing address, and telephone number
• Consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate federal district court and acceptance of service of process from the original complainant
• Your physical or electronic signature

3. Send notices to the interim copyright agent

4. What happens next

We may request missing information, forward a compliant notice or counter-notification to the affected party, remove or restore material as the law permits, and retain records needed to administer the request. Knowingly misrepresenting infringement or mistake can create liability.
