Please note that we may reproduce any legal notice we receive to send
to a third party for publication and annotation, and we may post your
notice in place of any removed content. Please be aware that if you
knowingly materially misrepresent that material or activity is
infringing your copyright, you may be held liable for damages
(including costs and attorneys fees) under Section 512(f) of the DMCA

Filing a counter notification
If you’ve received a notification from us that content has been
removed for a copyright complaint, it means we received a notice
pursuant to the DMCA alleging that the content infringed a copyright
right. If you believe that the removal of the content is a result of a
mistake or misidentification, you can file a counter notification.
To submit a counter-notification, please send the following
information to our designated copyright agent in writing at the
mailing address specified above:
- Identification of material taken down.
-
The URLs or other location information of the material before it was
taken down.
-
A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith
belief the content was removed in error.
-
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 United States, for any judicial
district in which we may be found, and that you will accept service
of process from the person who provided the original complaint.
-
Provide your mailing address, telephone number and email address. If
you are filing a counter notification on behalf of an entity,
provide the entity’s name along with your job title, job position,
or role with the entity.
-
Provide your full legal name and physical or electronic signature.
There are legal and financial consequences for filing fraudulent or
bad faith counter notifications. Before submitting a counter
notification, make sure you have a good faith belief that we removed
the content in error, and that you understand the repercussions of
submitting a false claim.
