Claims of Copyright
Infringement & Related Issues (17 USC § 512 et seq.)
We respect the intellectual
property rights of others. Anyone who
believes their work has been reproduced in a way that constitutes copyright
infringement may notify our agent by providing the following information:
a.
Identification of
the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed, or, if multiple
copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification,
a representative list of such works at the site;
b.
Identification of
the material that you claim is infringing and needs to be removed, including a
description of where it is located so that the copyright agent can locate it;
c.
Your address,
telephone number, and, if available, e-mail address, so that the copyright
agent may contact you about your complaint; and
d.
A signed
statement that the above information is accurate; that you have a good faith
belief that the identified use of the material is not authorized by the
copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and, under penalty of perjury, that you
are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the copyright owner's
behalf in this situation.
Upon obtaining such knowledge
we will act expeditiously to remove, or disable access to, the material. Please
be aware that there are substantial penalties for false claims.
If a notice of copyright
infringement has been wrongly filed against you, you may submit a counter
notification to our agent. A valid
counter notification is a written communication that incorporates the following
elements:
a.
A physical or
electronic signature of the poster;
b.
Identification of
the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the
location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it
was disabled;
c.
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;
d.
Your name,
address, and telephone number; a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction
of federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is
located, or if your address is outside of the U.S., for any judicial district
in which the service provider may be found; and that you will accept service of
process from the complainant.
