Digital Millennium Copyright Act
It is our policy to
respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement. This
page describes the information that should be present in these
notices. It is designed to make submitting notices of alleged
infringement to EasyDocEx as straightforward as possible while
reducing the number of notices that we receive that are
fraudulent or difficult to understand or verify. The form of
notice specified below is consistent with the form suggested by
the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the text of
which can be found at the U.S. Copyright Office Web Site,
http://www.copyright.gov)
but we will respond to notices of this form from other
jurisdictions as well.
Regardless of whether we
may be liable for such infringement under local country law or
United States law, our response to these notices may include
removing or disabling access to material claimed to be the
subject of infringing activity and/or terminating subscribers.
If we remove or disable access in response to such a notice, we
will make a good-faith attempt to contact the owner or
administrator of the affected site or content so that they may
make a counter notification. We may also document notices of
alleged infringement on which we act. Please note that in
addition to being forwarded to the person who provided the
allegedly infringing content, a copy of this legal notice may be
sent to a third-party which may publish and/or annotate it. As
such, your letter (with your personal information removed) may
be forwarded to Chilling Effects (http://www.chillingeffects.org)
for publication. You can see an example of such a publication at
http://www.chillingeffects.org/dmca512/notice.cgi?NoticeID=861.

Infringement Notification
for Web Search and all other products
|
To file a notice of
infringement with us, you must provide a written communication
(by fax or regular mail -- not by email, except by prior
agreement) that sets forth the items specified below. Please
note that you will be liable for damages (including costs and
attorneys' fees) if you materially misrepresent that a product
or activity is infringing your copyrights. Indeed, in a recent
case (please see
http://www.onlinepolicy.org/action/legpolicy/opg_v_diebold/
for more information), a company that sent an infringement
notification seeking removal of online materials that were
protected by the fair use doctrine was ordered to pay such costs
and attorneys fees. The company agreed to pay over $100,000.
Accordingly, if you are not sure whether material available
online infringes your copyright, we suggest that you first
contact an attorney.
To expedite our ability
to process your request, please use the following format
(including section numbers):
1. Identify in
sufficient detail the copyrighted work that you believe has been
infringed upon (for example, "The copyrighted work at issue is
the text that appears on http://www.legal.com/legal_page.html")
or other information sufficient to specify the copyrighted work
being infringed (for example, "The copyrighted work at issue is
the “Touch Not This Cat” by Dudley Smith, published by Smith
Publishing, ISBN #0123456789").
2. Identify the
material that you claim is infringing the copyrighted work
listed in item #1 above.
FOR WEB SEARCH, YOU MUST
IDENTIFY EACH SEARCH RESULT THAT DIRECTLY LINKS TO A WEB PAGE
THAT ALLEGEDLY CONTAINS INFRINGING MATERIAL. This requires you
to provide (a) the search query that you used, and (b) the URL
for each allegedly infringing search result.
If you are sending a
large number of URLs in one removal request, please also send an
electronic copy of the notice to removals @ easydocex dot com.
3. Provide
information reasonably sufficient to permit EasyDocEx to contact you
(email address is preferred).
4. Provide
information, if possible, sufficient to permit EasyDocEx to notify
the owner/administrator of the allegedly infringing webpage or other
content (email address is preferred).
5. Include the
following statement: "I have a good faith belief that use of the
copyrighted materials described above as allegedly infringing is not
authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law."
6. Include the
following statement: "I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the
information in the notification is accurate and that I am the
copyright owner or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an
exclusive right that is allegedly infringed."

Please note that in addition
to being forwarded to the person who provided the allegedly

affected site or the provider of affected content may make a counter
notification pursuant to sections 512(g)(2) and (3) of the Digital
Millennium Copyright Act. When we receive a counter notification, we
may reinstate the material in question.
To file a counter
notification with us, you must provide a written communication (by
fax or regular mail -- not by email, except by prior agreement) that
sets forth the items specified below. Please note that you will be
liable for damages (including costs and attorneys' fees) if you
materially misrepresent that a product or activity is not infringing
the copyrights of others. Accordingly, if you are not sure whether
certain material infringes the copyrights of others, we suggest that
you first contact an attorney. A sample counter notification may be
found at
www.chillingeffects.org/dmca/counter512.pdf.
To expedite our ability to
process your counter notification, please use the following format
(including section numbers):

removed or to which EasyDocEx has disabled access.

notification under subsection (c)(1)(C) or an agent of such person.

following statement: "I swear, under penalty of perjury, that I have
a good faith belief that each search result, message, or other item
