DMCA and copyright

We respect copyright and respond to properly formed notices under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

Sending a notice

Send your notice to the address on our contact page, with the subject line “DMCA notice”. Under 17 U.S.C. §512©(3), it must include:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or someone authorised to act for them.
  2. Identification of the work you say is infringed.
  3. Identification of the material on this site you say is infringing, specific enough that we can find it — a URL.
  4. Your contact details.
  5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorised by the owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are authorised to act for the owner.

An incomplete notice may delay our response.

What we do

Where a notice is valid, we remove or disable the material promptly and note the removal.

Counter-notice

If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you may send a counter-notice under 17 U.S.C. §512(g)(3), including your signature, identification of the removed material and where it appeared, a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief it was removed by mistake, your contact details, and consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate federal court.

A note on misuse

Misrepresenting material as infringing carries liability for damages under 17 U.S.C. §512(f). We read notices carefully, and we do not remove sourced factual content — a benefit cap, a statutory citation, a deadline — because a company would prefer it were not published.
