1. Introduction

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a United States copyright law that implements two 1996 treaties of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). The DMCA is designed to protect the rights of copyright holders and to provide a framework for addressing copyright infringement on the internet. The Service respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. This document outlines the process for reporting alleged copyright infringement and the rights and responsibilities of both the copyright holders and users of the Service.

2. Legal Framework

The DMCA provides a safe harbor provision that protects online service providers from liability for copyright infringement committed by their users, provided that the service providers comply with certain requirements. Under this provision, if a service provider is not aware of infringing activity and acts expeditiously to remove or disable access to the infringing material upon receiving proper notification, they may be shielded from liability. This means that the Service is not liable for user-generated content unless it is made aware of the infringement and fails to act accordingly.

4. Counter-Notices

If you believe that your material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to the Service. The counter-notice must include your name, address, and a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification. Upon receiving a valid counter-notice, the Service may restore the material in question, provided that the original complainant does not file a court action against the user within 10 business days.

The Service reserves the right to terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe upon the copyrights of others, in accordance with the DMCA.

6. Safe Harbor Provisions

The Safe Harbor provisions of the DMCA provide a legal shield for online service providers, allowing them to avoid liability for infringing content uploaded by users, provided they adhere to specific requirements. These include the implementation of a policy for terminating repeat infringers, the designation of an agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement, and the expeditious removal of infringing material upon receiving proper notice. The Service has established procedures to comply with these requirements and to ensure that it operates within the bounds of the law.
