DMCA FAQ

What is the DMCA?

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a United States copyright law that implements two 1996 treaties of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). It criminalizes production and dissemination of technology, devices, or services intended to circumvent measures that control access to copyrighted works (commonly known as digital rights management or DRM).

What happens if I submit a copyright infringement notice?

Upon receipt of a valid copyright infringement notice, we will remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material and notify the user who posted the material. If the user believes the removal was a mistake, they may file a counter-notification.

How long does it take to process a DMCA notice?

We aim to process valid DMCA notices within 48 hours. However, the time may vary depending on the complexity of the issue and the volume of notices we receive.

What if I think my content was removed by mistake?

If you believe your content was removed by mistake, you can file a counter-notification with our copyright agent. We will review the counter-notification and may restore the content if appropriate.
