Where to send a copyright complaint
Use the form below. It is the copyright intake and reaches the people who handle these. You can also reach us through the Contact page.
What a copyright notice needs
A notice should contain the information required by 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3): identification of the work you say was infringed, enough detail for us to locate the material, your contact information, a good-faith statement, a statement about accuracy and authority made under penalty of perjury, and your signature. The form below asks for each of these.
What DinDin may do
After receiving a notice we may remove or disable access to the material and notify the member who posted it. We may also ask you for more information before deciding anything. Submitting a notice does not by itself guarantee removal.
Counter-notices
A member whose material was removed may submit a counter-notice containing the information required by applicable law. Where permitted, we may restore the material after the applicable statutory period if the complaining party does not tell us they have filed a court action.
Repeat infringers
DinDin may terminate the accounts of repeat copyright infringers in appropriate circumstances.
Misrepresentation
Knowingly making a material misrepresentation that content is infringing, or that it was removed by mistake, can carry legal consequences. Please only submit a notice you believe is accurate.
