What to consider before submitting a copyright complaint

Before submitting a copyright complaint to us, consider whether the use could be considered fair use. Fair use allows brief excerpts of copyrighted material for purposes such as criticism, news reporting, teaching, and research without permission or payment to the copyright holder.

If you are unsure whether the material you are reporting is infringing, you may wish to consult an attorney before filing. The DMCA requires you to provide personal information in the infringement notification. If you are concerned about privacy, you may consider using a professional takedown agent.

Notifications of infringement

Filing a DMCA complaint starts a legal process. Your complaint will be reviewed for accuracy, validity, and completeness. Our response may include the removal or restriction of access to allegedly infringing material.

If we remove or restrict materials, we will make a good faith effort to contact the affected user with information concerning the removal. This process does not limit our ability to pursue any other remedies for infringement.

Changes and amendments

We reserve the right to modify this Policy or its terms related to the Website and Services at any time. When we do, we will notify you via email or through other contact information you have provided.

An updated version of this Policy will be effective immediately upon posting, unless stated otherwise. Continued use of the Website and Services after the changes take effect will mean you consent to those changes.
