WHAT IT IS: TELLING US TO REMOVE COPYRIGHTED OR ABUSIVE CONTENT

If you discover that one of the blogs we host is illegally using your copyrighted material (e.g. text, images, your likeness) or is abusive against you (e.g. defamation of character), you should submit a DMCA notice as described below.

We take these claims seriously and we will act as quickly as possible, typically within a few business hours (though we can’t always guarantee that).

HOW TO SUBMIT A DMCA CLAIM

If you would like to make a Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) notice against a site we host, please provide the following information:

Your communication must include substantially all of the following (“Notice”):

  1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
  2. Identify in sufficient detail the location of copyrighted work that you believe has been infringed upon (for example, “The copyrighted work at issue is the text that appears on http://www.newco.com/uglytext_page.html”) or other information sufficient to specify the copyrighted work being infringed. If multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site.
  3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled.
  4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted.
  5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement that you swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate, and that I am the copyright owner or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

In some circumstances, in order to notify the party who provided the allegedly infringing content we may forward a copy of a Notice including name and email address to the alleged infringer or we may publish a Notice.The administrator of an affected site or the provider of affected content may make a counter notification pursuant to the DMCA. When we receive a counter notification, we may reinstate the material in question.
