Sending Notices of Infringement

If you are the owner of any exclusive right under copyright laws, or are authorized to act on behalf of such an owner, and you believe that a copyrighted work is being used on a Buzztime website or service in a manner that constitutes copyright infringement, please provide our agent with the following information:

• A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyright infringements at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a comprehensive list of such works;
• Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit Buzztime to locate the material (such as the URL or video number);
• Information reasonably sufficient to permit Buzztime to contact you, including a true name, address, telephone number and, if available, an email address at which you may be contacted;
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
• A statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Please note that under the DMCA (17 U.S.C. § 512(f)), any person who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability.

Counter-Notification

Users who have posted content that is removed because it is the subject of a claim of infringement may provide a counternotification under the DMCA (17 U.S.C. § 512(g)). If 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 regular mail or by email to address above) that sets forth all of the items required by the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see http://www.loc.gov/copyright/ for details. Please note that you may be liable for damages if you materially misrepresent that content or an activity is not infringing the copyrights of others. If you are not sure whether certain material infringes the copyrights of others, we suggest that you first contact an attorney.
