DMCA Policy

Overview
Last Updated: April 8, 2025

This document outlines our policy and procedures concerning claims of copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"). While our platform focuses primarily on works that may have entered the public domain, we recognize the importance of addressing potential copyright concerns that may arise.

Notification of Claimed Infringement

If you believe that content available on our platform may infringe upon a copyright you own or represent, you may submit a notification containing the following information:

  • Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed
  • Identification of the material claimed to be infringing
  • Contact information for the complainant or their representative
  • A statement regarding the complainant's good faith belief
  • A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information provided is accurate
  • A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized representative

Notifications should be submitted through our Contact page with the subject line "DMCA Notification" or directed to our designated agent whose information may be available upon request.

Public Domain Assessment Response

Given our platform's focus on public domain content, upon receiving a DMCA notification, we may initially respond with information regarding our assessment of the public domain status of the identified work, which may include:

  • Publication date verification
  • Copyright term expiration analysis
  • Relevant jurisdiction considerations
  • Other factors affecting public domain status

This information is provided to facilitate dialogue and may not constitute a formal counter-notification under the DMCA. We remain open to further discussion regarding the copyright status of any work on our platform.

Our Response Process

Upon receiving a complete DMCA notification, we may take the following actions:

  • Promptly acknowledge receipt of the notification
  • Conduct an initial assessment of the claim and public domain status
  • Temporarily restrict access to the content in question while investigating
  • Contact the complainant with any relevant public domain information
  • Remove or disable access to content determined to be infringing

We aim to address all notifications in a timely manner while maintaining respect for both copyright holders and the public domain status of works.

Counter-Notification Procedure

If content is removed or disabled as a result of a DMCA notification, and you believe that the content was removed due to mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification containing:

  • Identification of the specific content that was removed
  • Your name, address, and telephone number
  • A statement under penalty of perjury regarding your good faith belief
  • Consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in your judicial district
  • Your physical or electronic signature

Counter-notifications should be submitted through our Contact page with the subject line "DMCA Counter-Notification" or directed to our designated agent.

Repeat Infringers

In appropriate circumstances, we may limit platform access for users who are determined to be repeat infringers. The assessment of repeat infringer status may take into account various factors, including but not necessarily limited to the number of notifications received, counter-notifications submitted, and the outcome of any resulting legal proceedings.

Modifications to DMCA Policy

We may update this DMCA Policy at any time. The current version will be indicated by the "Last Updated" date. We encourage users to periodically review this policy to stay informed about our copyright practices.
