Raise the Hammer

If a copyright holder believes in good faith that materials we host infringe on its rights, the copyright holder (or its agent) may send us a notification in accordance with the requirements set forth in the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act), requesting that we remove or block access to the infringing material.

All notifications sent to us by the copyright holder must be in writing and include the following:

- A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;

- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or if multiple copyrighted works at a single on-line site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site;

- Identification of the material that is 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, and information reasonably sufficient to permit for us to locate the material;

- Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted;

- A statement that the copyright owner or its agent 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; and

- A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Upon receipt of a written notification that is compliant with the above terms, we will respond promptly to remove or disable access to the material alleged to be infringing.


Or... We could just talk about it-- whatever works for them.

(Since the Spectator told me I'm going to die 20 years sooner living here-- I guess I just have so much less to lose by living dangerously.)
