What a notice must contain
Under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)) a notice has to include all six of the following, or it may not be actionable:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the copyrighted work you say has been infringed — or, if several works on this site are covered by one notice, a representative list of them.
- Identification of the material you say is infringing, with enough detail for me to find it. The page URL and a description of the specific photograph or paragraph is ideal.
- Information that lets me contact you: your name, mailing address, telephone number and email address.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
- A statement that the information in your notice is accurate, and — under penalty of perjury — that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act for the owner.
What happens next
I will acknowledge your notice, and where it is complete I will remove or disable the material while I look into it. If the material was posted by someone else, I will let them know it came down and pass on your notice.
Counter-notice
If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you can send a counter-notice to the same address. It needs your signature, the material and its former location, a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief it was removed by mistake, your contact details, and your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, if you are outside the United States, for the Southern District of Ohio).
A word of caution
Knowingly making a false claim in either a notice or a counter-notice carries liability for damages under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). If you are unsure whether the use is infringing, speak to a lawyer before sending one.
