Copyright & DMCA Policy

Report copyright infringement

This form builds a notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3). Everything marked * is required for the notice to be actionable — an incomplete notice may mean we cannot remove the material.

You

If you are filing for a business or on behalf of an organization.

Required by the statute. For a counter-notice this is also the address that decides which federal court has jurisdiction.

Your rights

Only if the owner is someone other than you.

The work and the material

Name the work and describe it well enough for us to identify it — a title, a registration number, a publication, a photo series.

One URL per line. We need to be able to find the exact material — a page link is ideal.

Statements you must make

Type your full legal name. This is your signature on the notice, and a typed name is a valid electronic signature.

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), a person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing — or that it was removed by mistake — may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. Please consider whether the use is a fair use before you send this.

No account needed: this opens your email app with the complete notice addressed to our designated agent at dmca@sthetic.org. We share its contents with the member who posted the material as part of the process — that is what § 512(g)(1) requires.
