The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law.

If you believe, in good faith, that someone has wrongly filed a notice of copyright infringement against you, the DMCA permits you to send to Us a counter-notice.
Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA. See http://www.copyright.gov/ for details. Notices and counter-notices must be sent in writing to:
