Notes for Counsel

Section titled “Notes for Counsel”

  1. DMCA Agent Registration. The platform operator must have a designated DMCA agent registered with the U.S. Copyright Office. Verify that the registration is current. Registrations are filed electronically at https://www.copyright.gov/dmca-directory/. Failure to maintain a current registration may affect the platform’s safe harbor protection under 17 USC 512(c).

  2. Substantial Compliance. Under 17 USC 512(c)(3)(B)(ii), a notification that does not substantially comply with all six elements of subsection (c)(3)(A) is not considered notice for purposes of the safe harbor. Ensure all fields are completed.

  3. Repeat Infringer Policy. Confirm that the platform maintains and enforces a repeat infringer policy as required by 17 USC 512(i).

  4. Expeditious Removal. Upon receipt of a valid notice, the platform must act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the infringing material. Document the timeline of receipt and action taken.

  5. Counter-Notice. Advise the claimant that the accused party may file a counter-notice under 17 USC 512(g). If a valid counter-notice is received, the material must be restored within 10 to 14 business days unless the claimant files a court action.
