What is the DMCA?

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a United States copyright law that provides a process for copyright owners to request the removal of infringing content from online platforms. Under 17 U.S.C. Section 512, service providers like Metacollector can maintain safe harbor protection by promptly responding to valid takedown notices.

Filing a Valid DMCA Notice

To be effective, a DMCA takedown notice must include:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized agent
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed
  3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, with enough detail to locate it
  4. Contact information for the complaining party (address, phone, email)
  5. A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material is not authorized
  6. A statement that the information is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner

Misrepresentation Warning

Under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed by mistake, may be subject to liability for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees.
