2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (please provide URLs or specific location information)
4. Your contact information, including your address, telephone number, and an email address
5. 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

DMCA Takedown Process

Here's our streamlined process for handling DMCA takedown notices:

Counter-Notification Procedure

If you believe that your material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification containing:
