Copyright violations

Under U.S. law, you have copyright protection on the expression of your thoughts, ideas, and other such original works (photos, media, etc.). If your property rights have been infringed by a member of this web community, you have certain options available to you under the U.S. Digital Millenium Communications Act to request removal of the copyrighted information from our website. Be aware that certain classes of copyrighted material may legally be published without permission through the 'fair use' clause of U.S. Copyright Law. You might wish to consult with an attorney to find your full legal rights, especially if the infringement occurred on material originating outside the United States.

If you find material on this website that is published here in violation of copyright law, please notify us, accurately describe the offending content, and we will take steps to remove the offending content. This is a manual process which may take some time to complete, and may also be subject to a review/arbitration process provided in the DMCA.

Example of DMCA Takedown Provision

An author notes that a company or individual infringed his or her copyright in
publishing material without receiving their permission first, paying a fee or 
crediting the source of the information (plagiarism). If the author cannot 
find an arrangement with the offender he can address a DMCA to the provider 
hosting the user website. This text contains several items to respond to. It 
can be sent by fax, ordinary postal mail or even put on a website at the 
disposal of the provider. Not all providers accept receipt of the DMCA as 
scanned and signed images by email. Here is the template of the DMCA request 
that the author has to fill in and send to the alleged infringer:

    DIGITAL MILLENNIUM COPYRIGHT ACT
    1. Detailed identity of the copyrighted work that I believe has been 
infringed upon. This includes identification of the web page or specific 
posts, as opposed to entire sites. Posts must be referenced by either the 
dates in which they appear or the permalink of the post
    >Include here the URL to the concerned material infringing your copyright 
(URL of a website or URL to a post, with title, date, name of the emitter), or
link to initial post with sufficient data to find it back easily
    2. Identity of the material that I claim is infringing upon the copyrighted
work listed in item #1 above.
    >Include here the name of the concerned litigeous material (all images or 
posts if relevant) with their complete reference
    3. Location of the author copyright notice (for information).
    >Include here the possible URL of the page in which you have list or give 
detail about your copyright. This information is optional as all work of the 
mind are by default protected by the Copyright Berne Convention
    4. Information to permit our company, the provider, to contact you.
    >Include here your email, fax or postal address to quickly get a feedback 
from the provider.
    5. Statements
    Reproduce the next statements:
    I have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted materials described 
above on the infringing web pages is not authorized by my registered copyright 
and by the law. I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the
notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner of an exclusive 
right that is infringed.
    Your signature
    >Signature of the author
   (We will accept email addresses in lieu of signature for electronically 
transmitted forms.)

We may restrict, suspend, or abolish the account of any member who violates the terms of service.
