This is the site’s public copyright contact. It does not claim that a designated-agent registration has been completed with the U.S. Copyright Office.

what to include in a takedown notice

For a notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), include all of the following:

1. Your physical or electronic signature, or the signature of a person authorized to act for the copyright owner.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed. A representative list is acceptable when one notice covers multiple works on the site.
3. The exact URL and enough detail to locate each item you want removed or disabled.
4. Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement that the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act for the owner.

Links, screenshots, timestamps, and a short explanation of the claim help identify the material quickly. A notice missing required information may be returned for completion.

what happens after a notice

The claim and the material will be reviewed. Access may be removed or disabled when appropriate, and the person responsible for submitted material may receive a copy of the notice so they can respond. Repeat infringement connected to user-submitted material may result in removal of that material or loss of access to submission features.

counter-notices

If your material was removed because of mistake or misidentification, send a counter-notice to the same email address. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3), it should include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of what was removed and the URL where it appeared before removal.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled because of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, mailing address, and telephone number.
5. A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the appropriate U.S. federal district court and agreeing to accept service of process from the original claimant or their agent.

A valid counter-notice may be forwarded to the original claimant. The material may be restored after the statutory waiting period unless notice of a court action is received.

please be accurate

Knowingly making a material misrepresentation in a takedown notice or counter-notice can create liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). Consider fair use, licensing, and other legal exceptions before sending a claim.
