What a valid takedown notice must contain
Under 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3), a notice must include all of the following, or we may not be able to act on it:
- identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed;
- identification of the material claimed to be infringing, including the specific ctrlcapture URL(s), so that we can locate it;
- your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address;
- a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material 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 you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf;
- your physical or electronic signature.
How we respond
On receiving a valid notice, we will promptly remove or disable access to the identified material and notify the user who uploaded it, including a copy of the notice.
Counter-notification
If your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the agent above. It must include your physical or electronic signature; identification of the material and the location where it appeared before removal; a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification; and your name, address, and telephone number, along with your consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court for the district in which you live (or, if outside the United States, any district in which ctrlcapture may be found) and your agreement to accept service of process from the party who filed the original notice.
We will forward your counter-notice to the complaining party. If they do not file a court action seeking to restrain the activity within 10–14 business days, we may restore the material.
Repeat infringers
It is ctrlcapture's policy, in appropriate circumstances, to disable and terminate the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers.
Misrepresentation
Under 17 U.S.C. §512(f), anyone who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing — or was removed by mistake — may be liable for damages.
