Digital Millenium Dopyright Act
If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and believe that any Website content infringes your copyrights, you may submit a notification pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) by providing our Copyright Agent with the following information in writing (see 17 U.S.C §512(c)(3) for further details): (i) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (ii) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have 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 that site; (iii) 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, and information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to locate the material; (iv) information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to contact you, such as an address, telephone number and, if available, an electronic mail; (v) 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; and (vi) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
The designated Copyright Agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement is [Name, Address, Email Address, Phone Number]. For clarity, only DMCA notices should go to the Copyright Agent; any other feedback, comments, requests for technical support and other communications should be directed to Police Priority customer service. You acknowledge that if you fail to comply with all the requirements of this Section 14(b), your DMCA notice may not be valid.
If you believe that any Website content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner’s agent or pursuant to the law to post and use the material in your Website content, you may send a counter-notice containing the following information to the Copyright Agent: (i) your physical or electronic signature; (ii) identification of the Website content that has been removed, or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which the Website content appeared before it was removed or disabled; (iii) a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the Website content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the Website content; and (iv) your name, address, cell phone number and email address, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the applicable federal court, and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.
If a counter-notice is received by the Copyright Agent, the Bonnie’s List may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complainant informing that person that they may replace the removed Website content or cease disabling it in 10 working days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the Website content provider, member or user, the removed Website content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 working days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at the Bonnie’s List’s sole discretion.
