Where a notice goes
This site publishes no email address, so a notice reaches us one of two ways. Send a message to WhatsApp +212 663 813 479, or open the contact page, choose Other in the topic menu and make DMCA the first word of the message. Both routes land in the same place and are read by the person who deals with rights-holder correspondence.
How one is treated when it arrives
We act on notices made under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and on the equivalent procedures elsewhere. Material identified in a complete notice is taken down or put beyond reach. We do not ask a complainant to prove ownership beyond the statements the law itself asks for, and we do not argue the merits of a claim by return message.
The six elements a notice needs
The work. Name the copyrighted material you hold the rights in.
The material complained of. Point us at what you say infringes those rights, and give us enough to arrive at the same thing you are looking at.
A route back to you: a name, a postal address, a telephone number, and an email address at which you can be reached.
A statement that you hold a good-faith belief that the use complained of carries no permission, whether from the rights owner, from an agent acting for that owner, or from the law itself.
A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that everything you have put in the notice is accurate, and that you either hold the right yourself or are authorized to act for whoever holds it.
Your signature, written by hand or applied electronically.
The timings
A notice is acknowledged within 2 business days and acted on within 5. Where an element from the list above is missing, we write back naming the element rather than rejecting the notice, and the clock starts again when it arrives.
If you believe a removal was wrong
Send a counter-notice by the same route. It needs the material that was removed and where it used to sit, a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe it was removed through a mistake or a misidentification, and your contact details and signature. We pass it to the party who filed the original notice.
An account that keeps attracting notices
An account that is the subject of repeated claims is closed, and a closure of that kind carries no refund.
Notices and counter-notices both go to WhatsApp +212 663 813 479 or through the contact page with DMCA as the first word of the message.
