Federal law gives recourse to copyright owners who believe material on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If any party has a good faith belief that material on the Site or the Content infringes its copyright, that party or its agent (the “Notifying Party”) may send Soekris a notice requesting that the material be removed or that or access to it be blocked (the “Notice”). The Notice must contain the following information: (i) an electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or other intellectual property interest; (ii) a description of the copyrighted Work or other intellectual property that the Notifying Party claims has been infringed; (iii) a description of where the allegedly infringing material is located on the Site; (iv) the Notifying Party’s address, telephone number, and email address; (v) a statement by the Notifying Party that it has a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (vi) a statement by the Notifying Party, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in the Notice is accurate and that the Notifying Party is the copyright or intellectual property owner or authorized to act on the copyright or intellectual property owner's behalf.
If another party believes in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against it, that other party may send Soekris a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current legal requirements. See www.loc.gov/copyright for details. Each party may wish to consult its legal adviser before filing a notice or counter-notice. Please be aware that there can be penalties for false claims.
