If There Is a Copyright Complaint Against You

If you receive a notice that a posting or portion of Your Content has been removed or suspended due to a copyright complaint that means that we removed it at the request of a content owner. If you believe the material was removed in error, you have the option to file a counter-notification. Please note that there are potentially serious consequences for fraudulent or bad faith submissions of counter-notification and are subject to appropriate action. Before submitting a counter-notification you should be sure that you are the actual rights holder of the content removed or that you have a good faith belief that content was erroneously removed. It is important to make sure that you understand the repercussions of submitting a false counter-notification. A proper counter-notification should be sent by replying to the email notification you received, and it should contain the following:

Your name, address, and telephone number

  1. The URLs of the content that was removed or disabled by us (You can copy and paste the link provided in the notification email)
  2. The following statements: I consent to the jurisdiction of the judicial district in which Opined is located. I will accept service of process from the claimant of the copyright of infringement. I declare, under penalty of perjury, that I have a good faith belief that the content was removed as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.
  3. Your electronic signature with full legal name

When we receive a proper counter-notification, we will forward it to the party who originally complained about the alleged copyright violation. If we do not receive a notice from the original complainant within 10 business days, stating that the original complainant is seeking a court order to prevent further infringement of the content at issue, we will clear the complaint from your account’s record, and, at our discretion, we may replace the content that was removed.
