DMCA Notice and Takedown Policy

We respect copyright and expect the same of others. If material published here infringes a work you own, this page explains how to tell us and what happens next.

Where to send a notice

Send copyright complaints to [email protected]. This mailbox is monitored by the operator of this website for this purpose. Please use it rather than the general contact form — notices sent elsewhere may be delayed.

What a notice must contain

So that we can act quickly and correctly, a notice should include all of the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or of a person authorised to act on their behalf.
2. Identification of the work you say has been infringed. If several works are covered by one notice, a representative list is enough.
3. The exact URL of every page on this site where the material appears, precise enough for us to locate it — a link to the home page is not sufficient.
4. Your name, postal address, telephone number and email address.
5. A statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
6. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act for them.

An incomplete notice can slow things down, because we may have to come back to you for the missing details before we can act.

What we do when a notice arrives

We review each notice on receipt. Where a complaint is valid on its face, we remove or disable access to the material promptly, usually within a few business days, and record what was removed and when. Where the material was contributed by an identifiable third party, we notify them and pass on your notice.

Removing material is not an admission that it infringed. Equally, leaving it up while we check the facts is not a refusal to act.

Counter-notice

If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you can send a counter-notice to the same address. It should contain your signature, identification of the material and the URL where it appeared before removal, your contact details, a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the removal was a mistake, and your consent to the jurisdiction of a competent court.

We will forward a valid counter-notice to the person who filed the original complaint. Unless they inform us that they have started legal proceedings, we may restore the material.

Misuse and repeat infringers

Knowingly filing a false notice or a false counter-notice can make you liable for damages, including costs and legal fees. We keep records of notices received and, where contributors are involved, terminate access for anyone who repeatedly infringes.
