Before Submitting a DMCA Complaint
Please consider the following before filing a copyright complaint:
- Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), you may be liable for damages, including legal fees, if you knowingly misrepresent that material is infringing.
- If you are unsure whether the content you are reporting is infringing, please consult with a qualified attorney before submitting a complaint.
- Submitting false or fraudulent claims may result in legal consequences.
We may, as required by law or at our discretion, provide copies of your notification—including your contact information—to the party responsible for the allegedly infringing material. This may include publishing the notice or sharing it with third parties such as ChillingEffects.org.

- Identification of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed. If multiple works are covered, a representative list is acceptable.
- Identification of the infringing material and its location on the site (a direct URL or specific page is required).

What Happens After You File
Once your notice is received, we will:
- Review the claim for validity and completeness
