Lucy Media respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), the text of which may be found on the U.S. Copyright Office website at http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/, Lucy Media will respond expeditiously to notices of alleged infringement that are reported to Lucy Media's Designated Copyright Agent, identified in the sample notice below.
Please note that you will be liable for damages (including costs and legal fees) if you materially misrepresent that content or activity is infringing your copyrights. In a past case (please see OPG vs Diebold for more information), a company that sent an infringement notification seeking removal of online material that was protected by the fair-use doctrine was ordered to pay such costs and legal fees. The company agreed to pay over USD100,000. Accordingly, if you are not sure whether material available online infringes your copyright, we suggest that you first contact a lawyer.
If you are a copyright owner, authorized to act on behalf of one, or authorized to act under any exclusive right under copyright, please report alleged copyright infringements taking place on or through the Services by completing the following notice ("Notice") and delivering it to the Designated Copyright Agent.
Deliver this Notice, with all items completed, to Lucy Media's Designated Copyright Agent:
Lucy Media does not permit copyright infringing activities through its services and will, if properly notified that content infringes, remove or disable access to such content. Lucy Media reserves the right to remove or disable access to content without prior notice. In appropriate circumstances, Lucy Media will also terminate users whom it determines to be repeat infringers.
A poster of allegedly infringing material may make a counter notice pursuant to Sections 512(g)(2) and 512(g)(3) of the DMCA. When Lucy Media receives a counter notice, it may reinstate the material in question. To provide a counter notice to us, please return the following form to the Lucy Media Copyright Agent.
