What is the ‘DMCA’ Counter-Notice form and where do I find it?

The Digital Millenium Copyright Act [1] (aka ‘DMCA’) relates to copyrighted or intellectual property rights, ownership and use, and holds the U.S. Code 17 U.S.C 512(c)(3). If an individual or company has legally stated, through submission of DMCA Notice, that a work you are using belongs to that entity, your account may have been temporarily disabled.  Basically that entity is legally stating that you do not hold the right to be using what it claims is Infringement of Copyright or Intellectual Property Rights [2]. So what happens next?
 
You have the right to complete and send a Counter-Notice [1] to Wacktrap if, and only if, the work instead legally belongs to you. Both a Notice and Counter-Notice are legal documents, signed under penalty of perjury by the filing party.
 
Visit the Copyright/IP Policy [1] page to find out more, including specific instructions of what information must be completed for submission of legal Counter-Notice and where you need to send it. Still have questions or need additional assistance? Contact Wacktrap [3] now, choosing 'Copyright/IP' from the dropdown menu.
