Digital Millennium Copyright Act

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) provides procedures for copyright owners to follow if they believe in good faith that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you have such a good faith belief with respect to any content posted on the Site, you or your agent should contact Golden May in a writing clearly identified as a “Notification of Claimed Infringement.” That writing should describe the alleged infringement and request that the allegedly infringing content be removed (or that access to it be blocked). A “Notice of Claimed Infringement” must include the following information:

A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the works that have been allegedly infringed;
Identification of the copyrighted work alleged to have been infringed (or if multiple copyrighted works located on the Site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works);
Identification of the specific material alleged to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to allow Golden May to locate the material on the Site;
Your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address (to the extent available);
A statement that you have 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; and
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.

If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been improperly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send Golden May a counter-notice describing why you have that belief.

Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see http://www.loc.gov/copyright/ for details.

Notices and counter-notices with respect to the Site should be sent to info@goldenmayediting.com. We recommend that you obtain professional legal advice before filing a notice or counter-notice under the DMCA. The DMCA imposes penalties for false claims made under it.
