How to report copyright infringement, and how we respond.
Copyright complaints under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and equivalent notices elsewhere should be sent through our contact form, selecting the copyright subject line and including the information listed below. We act on valid notices promptly.
Your notice must include: (1) identification of the copyrighted work you claim was infringed; (2) identification of the material on our site that you claim is infringing, with the page URL; (3) your contact information so we can reach you; (4) a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; (5) a statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner; and (6) your physical or electronic signature.
When we receive a valid notice, we remove or disable access to the identified material and make a reasonable effort to notify the party who provided it. We keep a record of notices received.
If your material was removed because of a notice you believe was mistaken, you may send a counter-notice through the same contact form, including: (1) identification of the removed material and where it appeared; (2) your contact information; (3) a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification; (4) a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for the district where you live (or, if outside the United States, the Northern District of California); and (5) your physical or electronic signature. We may restore the material between 10 and 14 business days after receiving a valid counter-notice unless the complainant tells us it has filed a court action.
We may terminate or restrict access for users who repeatedly post infringing material.
If this policy changes materially, we will update this page and note the revision date.
