DMCA Notice Procedure

LiveGrid qualifies for the “safe harbor” protections under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c) as an online service provider that stores user-generated content. We respond expeditiously to valid takedown notices and have implemented a repeat-infringer policy as required by the DMCA. Our Designated Agent registration with the U.S. Copyright Office is on file.

Note: If you have not yet filed your DMCA Designated Agent registration at copyright.gov/dmca-directory, that registration must be completed ($6/yr) for the safe-harbor protections to apply.

To request removal of content you believe infringes your copyright, you must send a written notice containing all six of the following elements required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3):

1. Your signature. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work. A description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed. If multiple works are covered by a single notice, a representative list is acceptable.
3. Identification of the infringing material. A description of the material that is claimed to be infringing and information sufficient to locate it on LiveGrid (e.g., direct URL or permalink to the profile, track, or post). The more specific you are, the faster we can act.
4. Your contact information. Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
5. Good-faith belief statement. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. Accuracy statement under penalty of perjury. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Warning: Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages. Consider consulting an attorney if you are unsure whether the material you are reporting is actually infringing.

1. We will acknowledge receipt of a complete notice within two business days.
2. If the notice contains all six required elements, we will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the identified material.
3. We will notify the user who posted the material that their content has been removed and provide them with a copy of the notice (with your personal contact information redacted where feasible).
4. The user has the right to file a counter-notice (see Section 4). If a valid counter-notice is received, we will notify you and restore the material 10–14 business days after the counter-notice is sent, unless you first inform us that you have filed an action in court seeking a restraining order.

If you believe your content was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may send a written counter-notice to our Designated Agent at the address above. A valid counter-notice must include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the removed material and the location where it appeared before removal (e.g., the URL).
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to jurisdiction of the federal district court for the district where your address is located (or Miami-Dade County, Florida, if your address is outside the United States), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original takedown notice.

Upon receiving a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant. If the complainant does not notify us within 10–14 business days that they have filed a lawsuit, we will restore the removed material.

LiveGrid will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers. A “repeat infringer” is a user who has had content removed following two or more valid DMCA takedown notices, or who has been found to have engaged in copyright infringement by a court of competent jurisdiction.

LiveGrid reserves the right to terminate accounts for a single incident where the infringement is egregious (e.g., wholesale reproduction of a complete commercial release, commercial-scale piracy, or deliberate misrepresentation).
