What does Copyright Infringement or IP rights violations refer to?

In the U.S., the Federal government act known as the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DCMA”) [1] has been designed to help protect you, another individual, company, or entity from theft of original work. The “DMCA” holds the following U.S. Code 17 U.S.C 512(c)(3) relating to copyrighted or intellectual property rights, ownership and use.
 

We’re going to make it brief here, because Copyright Infringement and/or Intellectual Property Rights violations is a complicated legal arena. If you have any question or need which requires an in-depth answer, you may wish to consult legal Counsel. We’re not providing legal advice or definitions here, only covering the basics. Basic examples of original work protected by copyright or intellectual property rights include: original work that is visual such as a photograph, written work such as a copyrighted story or song lyrics, audio or compilations, or design such as web layout. This description, in no way, covers the entirety of areas and work protected by the “DMCA.”
 

At Wacktrap, if it’s not yours, don’t use it. We have no tolerance for copyright infringement or intellectual property rights violations. Your Wacktrap account may not only be disabled, but permanently removed without notice. That’s not to mention serious legal ramifications. If written work, an image, video clip, audio, or any other original work doesn’t belong to you, don’t post it here. We’ll be serious: while you may not think it’s a ‘big deal,’ it can cost you big time, including but not limited to financial Damages, legal costs, stress and time.
 

If your original work is being used without your authorization and essentially ‘stolen,’ you must submit Notice to that effect. Complete and submit, under penalty of perjury, the required information of the DMCA Notice found here [1] to the Wacktrap Agent.
 

If your Wacktrap Account has been Disabled due to Wacktrap receipt of DMCA Notice [2], you may submit legal Counter-Notice claiming the work instead belongs to you. To do so, you must complete the Counter-Notice found here [1], with statement under penalty of perjury, that the original work is legally yours.
 
 
Wacktrap may choose, at its sole discretion, to re-enable a Disabled Account at minimum duration of 10-14 business days following any receipt of Counter-Notice.
