4) How to Submit a Proper DMCA Notice (17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3))
To help us process your request, your Notice must include all of the following:
- A physical or electronic signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or a representative list if multiple works are covered.
- Identification of the material claimed to be infringing (or to be the subject of infringing activity) and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, including a URL or other specific location information sufficient to allow us to find the material.
- Contact information for the complaining party (full name, organization if applicable, email, and any other relevant contact details).
- A statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement that the information in the Notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
Incomplete Notices may delay our response. Submitting a DMCA Notice is a serious legal matter; consider consulting legal counsel.
5) What Happens After We Receive a DMCA Notice
- We will review the Notice for completeness and may request additional information if needed.
- If the Notice appears valid, we may remove or disable access to the identified material and take other appropriate measures.
- When feasible, we will notify the user who posted or controls the material so they may submit a Counter-Notice.
6) How to Submit a Counter-Notice (17 U.S.C. §512(g))
If material you posted was removed or access was disabled and you believe this was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a Counter-Notice. Your Counter-Notice must include:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access disabled (e.g., exact URL).
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
- Your name, and your contact information (email and any other relevant details).
- A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate courts for your address, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA Notice or their agent.
Upon receipt of a valid Counter-Notice, we may forward it to the original complainant. Unless the complainant informs us that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain you from engaging in infringing activity, we may restore the material within the time period permitted by law.
7) Repeat Infringer Policy
In appropriate circumstances, it is our policy to disable or terminate accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers. We also reserve the right to remove content alleged to infringe without prior notice, at our discretion.
8) Misrepresentation Warning (17 U.S.C. §512(f))
Be aware that any person who knowingly misrepresents that material or activity is infringing (or that it was removed/disabled by mistake) may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, under §512(f).
9) Third-Party Platforms & Links
viplikes.net may reference or link to content hosted on third-party platforms (e.g., social networks). We do not control content on third-party services. If your claim concerns content hosted by a third-party platform, please also follow that platform’s copyright policy and procedures.
