We comply with the Notice and Takedown requirements of 17 U.S.C. §512 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”). The Site qualifies as a “Service Provider” under the DMCA and is therefore entitled to the protections provided by the DMCA’s “safe harbor” provisions.
This DMCA Notice and Takedown Policy explains how copyright infringement claims may be submitted and how the Site responds to such claims.
