DMCA Provisions
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 as codified in 17 U.S.C. §512 (the “DMCA”), provides recourse for owners of copyrighted materials who believe their rights under the DMCA have been infringed.
Under the DMCA, the bona fide owner of copyrighted materials who has a good faith belief their copyright has been infringed may contact the person or entity infringing on their copyright, as well as the designated agent of an Internet Service Provider (“ISP”) to report alleged infringements of their protected works, when such alleged infringements appear on pages contained within the system of the ISP.
Confirmidy will respond to allegations of copyright violations in accordance with the DMCA. When a valid DMCA notification is received, the service provider responds under this process by taking down the offending content. On taking down content under the DMA, we will take reasonable steps to contact the owner of the removed content so a counter-notification may be filed. On receiving a valid counter-notification, we generally restore the content in question, unless we receive notice a legal action has been filed seeking a court order in the dispute. Confirmidy’s privacy policy does not protect information provided in these notices.
Confirmidy complies with international trade law, international trade practices, all United States laws, including United States copyright law. Upon receipt of a properly filed complaint under the DMCA, Confirmidy will block access to the allegedly infringing material. Confirmidy will forward a copy of the notification of claimed copyright infringement to the alleged infringer. Anyone who believes, in good faith, a notice of copyright infringement has wrongfully been filed against them, may submit a counter notice to Confirmidy.
