DMCA notice & takedown.

If you believe content on this site infringes a copyright you own, here is how to send a Digital Millennium Copyright Act notice and how we respond.

Designated agent

Our designated agent for receiving DMCA notices, in accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(2), is:

AI Laws by State is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office DMCA Designated Agent Directory and serves as the agent of record for AILawsuitTracker.com, AILawsbyState.com, SOC2vendors.com, and AIComplianceVendors.com. Notices sent to any other address or email may be processed more slowly. Use this contact for DMCA matters only.

How to send a notice

A DMCA takedown notice must be a written communication that includes substantially the following, as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3):

1. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed. If multiple works on a single page, a representative list is acceptable.
2. Identification of the allegedly infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate it — typically the URL of the page and the specific paragraph, image, or excerpt.
3. Your contact information — full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email.
4. 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.
5. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.
6. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized agent.

Incomplete notices may not qualify for action under § 512(c). We will respond and ask for the missing elements rather than ignore the notice.

What we do when we receive a valid notice

• We acknowledge receipt within one business day.
• We promptly remove or disable access to the identified material if the notice complies with § 512(c)(3).
• We notify the affected user or contributor (where applicable) and provide them with a copy of the notice and information about the counter-notification procedure.
• We log the action so we can comply with the repeat-infringer accounting required by § 512(i).

Counter-notification

If you are a contributor whose material was removed and you believe the takedown was a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3). A counter-notice must include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed and the location at which it appeared before removal.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal court for the judicial district in which the address is located (or, if outside the U.S., for any judicial district in which we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the original notice sender.

Send counter-notices to the same address as DMCA notices. After receipt, we may restore the material in 10 to 14 business days unless the original notice sender notifies us they have filed a court action.

Misrepresentation & abuse

Knowingly materially misrepresenting that material is infringing, or that it was removed by mistake, may subject you to liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). Court documents, opinions, dockets, statutes, and other public-record materials are generally not eligible subjects for a DMCA notice. Editorial commentary, factual reporting, and quotation in the public interest may also be protected by fair use under 17 U.S.C. § 107.

Repeat-infringer policy

Consistent with our obligations under 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), we will, in appropriate circumstances, terminate the accounts or access of users who are determined to be repeat infringers of copyright.

This site does not currently host user-generated content. Editorial content is authored or commissioned by our team and reviewed before publication. Should we introduce user-submitted content surfaces in the future, we will publish a strike-based termination policy here. We maintain an internal log of all DMCA notices received and their disposition for at least seven (7) years.

Not legal advice

This page describes our intake procedure. It is not legal advice. If you are unsure whether to send a DMCA notice, consult a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction. The U.S. Copyright Office also maintains a public directory of designated agents at dmca.copyright.gov.
