We will respond to any DMCA complaints in a timely manner. Should you be the copyright holder of a specific piece of content featured on this site without your permission, we will remove it in a timely manner once notified.

We will also notify the responsible party that we have received your claim and request that the responsible party provide counter notification which complies with DMCA requirements.

Should we receive such valid counter notification, we shall replace the item in question unless you notify us of a filed court action against the responsible party within 10 days of the counter notification. If such action is taken, the work will remain unpublished until a court determination is reached.
