PL2W respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of our website and services to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the "DMCA"), PL2W will respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with applicable law. This policy describes the information required for a notice, our response to a valid notice, and the process for submitting a counter-notification.
If you believe that material available on or through our website infringes your copyright, you may send a written notification to our designated copyright contact. A notification should include all of the following information:
- Copyrighted work: Identify the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed, or, if multiple works are covered by the notification, provide a representative list of those works.
- Infringing material: Identify the material that you claim is infringing and provide information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate it on the website.
- Contact information: Provide your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address, together with the contact details of the copyright owner if you are acting on the owner's behalf.
- Good faith statement: Include a statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- Accuracy and authority: Include a statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
- Signature: Provide a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
When we receive a notification that substantially complies with the DMCA, we may take the following measures as appropriate:
- Review the notification and the allegedly infringing material.
- Remove or disable access to the material that is reasonably believed to be infringing.
- Notify the user or account holder who posted the material about the removal or disabling of access.
- Forward the notification to the user or account holder, where permitted by law and appropriate to the circumstances.
- Take other actions that we consider appropriate to protect copyright owners, users, and the website.
We may request additional information before taking action on a notification. We may also reject notifications that do not contain the information required by applicable law.
If you believe that your material was removed or access to it was disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter-notification. A counter-notification should include all of the following:
- Material and location: Identify the material that was removed or disabled and the location where it appeared before it was removed or disabled.
- Good faith statement: Include a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification.
- Consent to jurisdiction: Include a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court in the district where you reside, or, if your address is outside the United States, the judicial district where PL2W is located, and that you will accept service of process from the party who submitted the notification or that party's agent.
- Contact information: Provide your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
- Signature: Provide a physical or electronic signature of the person submitting the counter-notification.
After receiving a valid counter-notification, we may forward it to the original complaining party. If that party does not notify us within the period required by applicable law that it has filed an action seeking a court order, we may restore the removed material or cease disabling access to it.
PL2W may, in appropriate circumstances and at its discretion, limit or terminate access to the website and services for users who are repeat copyright infringers. We may also limit or terminate accounts that are associated with repeated infringement or other violations of applicable law.
This policy is provided for information purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. If you are unsure whether material infringes a copyright or whether a notification or counter-notification is appropriate, you should consult an attorney before submitting it.
