A. DMCA Complaints
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 United States Copyright Law. If you believe in good faith that Submissions infringe your copyright, you (or your agent) may send Deafinitely Pawsitively a notice requesting that the Submission(s) be removed from the Site(s), or access to it be blocked. The notice must include the following information:
(a) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
(b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or if multiple copyrighted works located on the Sites are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works);
(c) 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 allow Deafinitely Pawsitively to locate the Submission(s);
(d) the name, address, telephone number and email address (if available) of the complaining party so it may be contacted;
(e) a statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the Submission in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and
(f) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
DMCA Complaints must meet the then current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see http://www.copyright.gov/ for details. DMCA Complaints concerning materials on Sites should be sent to Deafinitely Pawsitively’s Designated Agent to receive notification:
You may send the required information with "DMCA Complaint" in the subject line.
Please note that you may be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) if you materially misrepresent that material on a website is infringing the copyrights of others. If you are uncertain whether material on a website is infringing, Deafinitely Pawsitively recommends seeking advice of an attorney.
B. DMCA Counter Notification
If Deafinitely Pawsitively removes or disables access to content in response to a DMCA Complaint, Deafinitely Pawsitively will make reasonable attempts to contact the owner of the removed or disabled content, or the owner’s agent. If Deafinitely Pawsitively removed your material pursuant to another person’s DMCA Complaint and you contend that such material does not infringe upon another’s copyright rights, you may provide Deafinitely Pawsitively with a counter-notification containing the following details:
(a) 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 disabled;
(b) your name, address and telephone number;
(c) a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for judicial district in which your address is located or, if your address is outside of the USA, for any judicial district in which Deafinitely Pawsitively may be found and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted a notice in compliance with the section (c)(1)(C) of the DMCA, as generally described above;
(d) 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 in question; and
(e) your physical or electronic signature.
You must send this notification to deafpaws67@gmal.com
You may send the required information with "DMCA Counter Notification" in the subject line.
In addition to the foregoing, the DMCA Counter Notification should contain all of the necessary information required by the DMCA, which can be found at http://www.copyright.gov/.
