Filing a DMCA Takedown Notice

Before submitting a DMCA takedown notice, please consider whether the use of the copyrighted material is protected by the fair use doctrine (or other applicable fair dealing laws). If you are unsure whether the use of your material constitutes infringement or is protected by fair use, we strongly encourage you to consult with an attorney before submitting a notice.

  1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or a person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed. If multiple copyrighted works at the Site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works.

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 us to locate the material. Please provide the URL(s) or other specific identifying information.
  4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an email address.

  6. 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.

Please note: Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing (including by failing to consider whether the material constitutes fair use) may be subject to liability for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees.

 

Counter-Notification

Before submitting a counter-notification, please be aware that doing so may initiate legal proceedings between you and the complaining party. If you are unsure whether the material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, we strongly encourage you to consult with an attorney.

If you believe that material you posted on the Site was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notification with our Designated Agent containing the following:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. 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 was disabled.
  3. 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 of the material to be removed or disabled, and that you understand the legal consequences of submitting a false claim.
  4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if your address is outside of the United States, the Southern District of New York), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notification of claimed infringement or an agent of such person.

Please note: Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification may be subject to liability for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees. Do not submit a false counter-notification.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will promptly forward a copy to the original complaining party. If the original party does not file a court action seeking to restrain the allegedly infringing activity within ten (10) business days of receiving the counter-notification, we will restore the removed material or cease disabling access to it.

 

Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, we maintain a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, the accounts of users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. We may also, at our sole discretion, limit access to the Site or terminate the account of any user who infringes any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.

For the purposes of this policy:

– A user will be considered a repeat infringer if they are the subject of two or more valid DMCA takedown notices for which we do not receive a timely and valid counter-notification, or for which any counter-notification is subsequently resolved in favor of the complaining party.

– Upon identification of a repeat infringer, Standards will terminate that user’s account and access to the Site in accordance with the termination provisions of our Terms of Service.

– Standards maintains records of all DMCA notices and counter-notifications received and the actions taken in response.

  2. Notify the user who posted the material that it has been removed or disabled, including a copy of the takedown notice.
