Before You Submit

A DMCA takedown notice is a legal document. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be subject to liability for damages.

Do not submit a notice if:

  • You are not the copyright owner or authorized agent
  • The content is fair use, parody, or transformative
  • You are unsure whether the content infringes your copyright

For questions or disputes that don't require a formal DMCA notice, contact us at [LEGAL CONTACT EMAIL].

1. Your Contact Information

Required so we can acknowledge your notice and follow up if needed.

Required only if you are a designated agent representing a copyright owner.

2. Description of Your Copyrighted Work

Minimum 10 characters. Include registration numbers if applicable.

3. Infringing Content URLs

List the Bluesky URLs where your copyrighted work appears without authorization.

Counter-Notification

If your content is removed due to a DMCA notice and you believe the removal was in error or that you have authorization to use the material, you may file a counter-notification.

Counter-notifications must include:

  • Your name, address, phone, and email
  • Identification of the removed content
  • A statement under penalty of perjury that the content was removed in error
  • Consent to jurisdiction of federal court
  • Your electronic signature

Send counter-notifications to: [DMCA CONTACT EMAIL]

After receiving a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original complainant. If they do not file a lawsuit within 10-14 business days, we will restore the content.

  • 1st valid notice: Content removed, creator warned
  • 2nd valid notice: Content removed, account suspended for 7 days
  • 3rd valid notice: Account permanently terminated

This policy applies only to valid infringement claims, not withdrawn or counter-notified takedowns.
