4. Counter-Notices
In the event that material is removed or access is disabled due to a DMCA notice, the user who posted the material may submit a counter-notice to The Service. A counter-notice must include specific information, including a statement under penalty of perjury that the user has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification. Upon receiving a valid counter-notice, The Service will restore the material unless the copyright owner files a lawsuit seeking a court order against the user within a specified timeframe.
5. Rights of Copyright Owners
Copyright owners have the exclusive right to reproduce, distribute, perform, display, and create derivative works based on their copyrighted material. The DMCA empowers copyright owners to enforce these rights through the notice and takedown process. It is important for copyright owners to understand that they must act promptly to protect their rights, as delays in enforcement may weaken their claims. Additionally, copyright owners should be aware of the potential for misuse of the DMCA process, as false claims can lead to legal repercussions.
