DMCA / copyright policy

Your notice must include, per 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3):

1. Your physical or electronic signature;
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed;
3. Identification of the material claimed to be infringing, with enough detail for us to locate it;
4. Your address, telephone number, and email address;
5. A statement that you have a good faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf.

Incomplete notices may not be actionable. Knowingly making a material misrepresentation in a notice can make you liable for damages under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

What we do

We review valid notices, remove or disable access to the material, and notify the user who posted it, providing a copy of the notice.

Counter-notification

If your material was removed and you believe it was a mistake or misidentification, send a counter-notice to the address above with:

1. Your physical or electronic signature;
2. Identification of the material and where it appeared before removal;
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification;
4. Your name, address, and telephone number; and
5. A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the district where you live (or, if outside the United States, the Northern District of Georgia), and that you will accept service from the person who sent the original notice.

If we receive a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant. Unless they file a court action within ten business days, we may restore the material.

Repeat infringers

We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.
