Copyright and DMCA policy

Our approach

We respect intellectual property. We respond to notices that comply with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. 512) and to equivalent notices under other laws.

How to send a notice

Use the contact form and choose the topic Copyright notice. The form asks for each element below.

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the copyrighted work you say is infringed.
• Identification of the material on this site, with its URL.
• Your contact information.
• A statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorized by the owner, its agent or the law.
• A statement that the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act for the owner.

Counter-notification

If material you provided was removed and you believe that was a mistake, send a counter-notification through the same form with:

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the material removed and where it appeared.
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith it was removed by mistake or misidentification.
• Your name, address and phone number, and your consent to the jurisdiction of the relevant court and to service from the complainant.

We may restore the material 10 to 14 business days after we receive a valid counter-notification, unless the complainant tells us it has filed a court action.

Misrepresentation

Under 17 U.S.C. 512(f), anyone who knowingly misrepresents that material is infringing, or that it was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages.

Repeat infringers

The site has no user uploads. If we ever publish contributed material, we will stop accepting material from anyone who repeatedly infringes.

Forwarding notices

We may forward a notice or counter-notification to the party concerned.
