Reporting organizations and copyright holders may also change their names.įrom time to time, we may receive inaccurate or unjustified copyright removal requests for search results that clearly do not link to infringing content.
For example, we may receive notices from different parts of a reporting organization, copyright owners and reporting organizations may use multiple ways to spell their names, or reporting organizations may choose to reference member companies as copyright owners in some cases but not others. There are a number of reasons why this may be the case. The submitter must also affirm under penalty of perjury that it is authorized to represent the owner of the copyright that is allegedly infringed.Īt times we may display duplicate entries for copyright owners or reporting organizations. The DMCA process requires a statement that the reporting organization must have a good faith belief that the use of the content in the manner specified is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law. For example, an individual who is submitting the request may report that they are based in one country/region when they really reside in another. People may submit information that is inaccurate or fill out the web form incorrectly, and we're not always able to verify the accuracy of the request. This data represents the information that people provide when they submit copyright removal requests through our web form.
