Reporting Alleged Copyright Infringement

As per our User Agreement all users of this site are required to comply with US copyright laws. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) governs copyright use through online services and specifies procedures for online service providers to follow to resolve copyright infringement claims.

Reporting Copyright Infringement

In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) this site has designated an agent to receive notifications of claimed copyright infringement. The DMCA requires that all claims of infringement be in writing and include all of the following:

1. A signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. This is typically the signature of the copyright owner.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site.
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to locate the material.
4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and email address at which the complaining party may be contacted.
5. A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Copyright infringement claims that do not include complete information as specified above will not be processed. To report alleged copyright infringements on this site please contact the designated DMCA agent:

GB Investments, Inc.
attn: DMCA Claims
PO Box 19137
Atlanta, GA 31126-1137

Once a claim is received the designated agent will review the claim and, if the claim appears valid, will remove the allegedly infringing material from the web site. The party who posted the allegedly infringing material can file a written rebuttal to the infringement claim with the designated agent. If a written rebuttal is received and appears to be valid then the allegedly infringing material may be reposted and there is no further recourse available through this site. At that point the complaining party will have to file suit in a court directly against the infringing party.
