DMCA counter notification form

The DMCA is a United States copyright law that provides guidelines for online service provider safe harbor in case of copyright infringement. The administrator of an affected site or the provider of affected content may make a counter notification pursuant to subsections 512(g)(2) and (3) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act or other applicable law. When we receive a counter notification, we may reinstate the material in question.

To file a counter notification with us, you must provide the information specified in the web form below. Please note that you can be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys' fees) if you materially misrepresent that the content was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification. Accordingly, if you are not sure whether certain material infringes the copyrights of others, we suggest that you first contact an attorney

Please also be advised that pursuant to subsections 512(g)(2) and (3) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, if you submit a counter notification (whether through our web form or by other means), your contact information will be forwarded to the original complainant. We encourage you to review https://library.educause.edu/topics/policy-and-law/digital-millennium-copyright-act-dmca for more information about the DMCA.
