DMCA & Copyright Issues
The Digital Millenium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) of 1998 details a system of legal requirements for dealing with any claims of copyright infringement. The Owner complies with the DMCA, and responds to any claims of alleged infringement, made by any User who is the bona fide owner of copyrighted material and has a good faith belief that their copyright has been infringed upon by any content shared on the Website, whether by the Owner or another User.
The Owner is committed to complying with all copyright laws. Upon receipt of a properly filed claim under the DMCA, the Owner will block access to the infringing material and forward a copy of the claim to the alleged infringer. If, however, the alleged infringer believes in good faith that the claim has been wrongfully filed against them, they may submit a counterclaim to the Owner.
Please send any DMCA notifications to the Owner at:

To file a claim of copyright infringement with the Owner, the User must provide a written claim that gives sufficient details about the copyrighted work that has allegedly been infringed upon, includes the URL of the page(s) where the allegedly infringing material is located, provide an address, email address, and phone number where the User can be contacted.
The claim must also bear the following statement: “I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in this claim is accurate and that I am the copyright owner or person authorized to act upon the behalf of the copyright owner. I also confirm that I have a good faith belief that use of the material in question has not been authorized by me, my agent, or the law.”
The claim must be signed by the copyright owner or a person authorized to act upon the behalf of the copyright owner.
The User should be advised that the person making a claim of copyright infringement will be liable for damages, which include, but are not limited to, attorney’s fees and other costs incurred by the Owner, if the User materially misrepresents that the Website, or any content found on the Website, is infringing upon their copyright. Therefore, if the User is not sure whether or not certain material is protected by copyright laws, it is advisable to first contact an attorney before making a claim of copyright infringement.
