Copyright complaints

Copyright Agent, Intelligena — dmca@yoshuko.com. Notices submitted through the form below reach the same place and are the fastest route.

Before you file

You must own the rights, or be authorised to act for the owner. Being annoyed by material is not a copyright claim.
Consider fair use. Quotation, criticism, commentary, teaching and parody may be lawful without permission. The law requires you to consider this in good faith before sending a notice.
A false notice has a cost. Under §512(f), knowingly misrepresenting that material is infringing makes you liable for damages, including the costs and legal fees of the person whose material was removed, and of us.
We will tell them who you are. If the person whose material is removed files a counter-notice, the law requires us to give them a copy — including your name and postal address.

What happens next

You get a reference number immediately. Keep it.
We check the notice against the elements §512(c)(3)(A) requires. An incomplete notice is not actionable, and we will tell you what is missing rather than silently doing nothing.
If it is complete and we uphold it, we remove or disable the material, tell the person who posted it, give them your notice, and record a strike against their account.
They may file a counter-notice. If they do, we pass it to you. Unless you tell us within 10 business days that you have filed a court action seeking to restrain them, we may restore the material.
An account that accumulates 3 live strikes is terminated. See the repeat-infringer policy.

File a copyright notice

1. What is this about?

What is this about?

2. Who you are

We cannot act on an anonymous notice. For a copyright complaint the law requires these details, and requires us to give your name and address to the person who posted the material if they file a counter-notice.

You are

I own the rights in the work

I am authorised to act for the rights owner

Your full legal name

Company or organisation (if any)

Email address

Telephone number

Required for a copyright notice (17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3)(A)(iv)).

Postal address

Required for a copyright notice. If a counter-notice is filed we are required by law to give your name and address to the person who posted the material.

3. What you are complaining about

The work you say has been infringed

Identify it well enough that we can tell what it is — a title, a URL where the original can be seen, a registration number.

Where the material is on this site

One full URL per line. We can only act on material we can find; “somewhere on this site” is not enough to act on.

Anything else we should know

4. Your statements

These are sworn statements. Knowingly misrepresenting that material is infringing carries liability for damages, including costs and legal fees, under 17 U.S.C. §512(f).

I have a good-faith belief that the use of the material described above is not authorised by the rights owner, its agent, or the law.

The information in this notice is accurate, and I state under penalty of perjury that I am the owner of the rights described, or authorised to act on the owner’s behalf.

Submitting sends this notice to our copyright agent and creates a record. You will be given a reference number on the next page.
