DMCA Section 512 (c) (3) (A) requires the following of notices alleging copyright infringement: 

ELEMENTS OF NOTIFICATION. To be effective under this subsection, a notification of claimed infringement must be a written communication provided to the designated agent (see ÎçÒ¹Ó°Ôº Agent for the Digital Millennium Copyright Act above) of a service provider that includes substantially the following: 

(i) A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. [As an electronic signature, our agent accepts facsimile/fax and digitized image of your signature attached to electronic mail.] 

(ii) 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. 

(iii) 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. [Please include a URL such as http://... or ftp://... identifying the material or representative material. If possible specify any IDs, passwords, or other authorization required to access the material. Please specify date, time, and timezone from which the material was observed. Technicians may require time information in order to identify dynamically assigned internet locations.] 

(iv) Information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted. 

(v) 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. 

(vi) 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. 

DMCA Section 512 (d) (3) requires similar information for notices requesting removal of links or other references to infringing materials.

Clicking the email address will attempt to launch your email tool to notify the ÎçÒ¹Ó°Ôº DMCA agent of claimed copyright infringement. Please provide all required information. If you prefer, submit a signed notification via fax or paper mail to the designated agent. 

The DMCA requires prompt acknowledgment and action from the registered DMCA agent. The registered DMCA agent will forward any counter claims. Laws such as the U.S. Family Educational Right to Privacy Act may control to what extent the University can identify specific members or how to contact them. The DMCA states that someone wanting to make a counter claim must provide adequate identification and contact information. 

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act Section 512 (g)(3) requires that a counter claim of copyright infringement provide certain information specified below. DMCA Section 512 (f) defines penalties for knowingly misrepresenting a counter claim. 

(3) CONTENTS OF COUNTER NOTIFICATION 

To be effective under this subsection, a counter notification must be a written communication provided to the service provider's designated agent that includes substantially the following: following: 

(A) A physical or electronic signature of the subscriber 

[As an electronic signature, our agent accepts facsimile/fax and digitized image of signature attached to electronic mail.] 

(B) Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled. 

[This information will normally be included in the notice you receive from the DMCA Agent. You may want to expand on it or distinguish some materials from others. Please include a URL such as http://... or ftp://... identifying the material or representative material. Specify any IDs, passwords or other authorization required to access the material.] 

(C) A statement under penalty of perjury that the subscriber has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled. 

[If you have any permissions for subject materials, please identify them. If you believe materials to be quotable under Fair Use doctrine, please state your case with reference to the four principles of Fair Use.] 

(D) The subscriber's name, address and telephone number, and a statement that the subscriber consents to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the address is located, or if the subscriber's address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which the service provider may be found, and that the subscriber will accept service of process from the person who provided notification under subsection (c)(1)(C) or an agent of such person.

Clicking the email address will attempt to launch your email tool to notify the ÎçÒ¹Ó°Ôº DMCA agent. Please provide all required information. 

If your email tool is not properly configured or if you prefer, submit a signed notification via fax or paper mail to the designated agent. 

Once the complaining party receives your claim, the DMCA permits your service provider, the University, to restore materials or access in 10-14 business days — unless the complaining party serves notice that it intends to seek a court order to restrain infringement. University policy may mandate for other reasons that materials or access not be restored, and that other investigation, containment, or disciplinary measures proceed.
