DMCA POLICY

DMCA Policy

Jamie Review respects intellectual property rights and expects others to do the same. If you believe content on https://www.jamiereview.com infringes your copyright, you may submit a notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

U.S. Copyright Office guidance states that online service providers seeking DMCA safe-harbor protections must designate an agent, make that contact publicly available, and respond expeditiously to qualifying takedown notices. Section 512 also sets out what a compliant notice must contain.

1. Designated DMCA Contact

Send notices to:

DMCA Agent Name: [insert name]
Email: [insert DMCA email]
Mailing Address: [insert DMCA mailing address]
Phone: [optional]

If you want actual DMCA safe-harbor protection, do not stop at publishing this page. Register the designated agent with the U.S. Copyright Office. Leaving this undone is amateur hour.

2. Required Elements of a DMCA Notice

Your written notice should include:

  • your physical or electronic signature
  • identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed
  • identification of the allegedly infringing material and enough information for us to locate it
  • your contact information, including name, address, telephone number, and email
  • a statement that you have a good-faith belief the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
  • a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf

These elements track the statutory requirements in 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3).

3. How We Respond

Upon receiving a substantially compliant notice, we may:

  • review the notice
  • request more information if needed
  • remove or disable access to the material
  • notify the affected user or content provider
  • document the action taken

4. Counter-Notification

If material you posted was removed and you believe it was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification.

A valid counter-notice should generally include:

  • your physical or electronic signature
  • identification of the material removed and its prior location
  • a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed due to mistake or misidentification
  • your name, address, and phone number
  • a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the district in which your address is located, or if outside the U.S., a judicial district where the service provider may be found
  • a statement that you will accept service of process from the complaining party or its agent

5. Repeat Infringers

Where appropriate, we may terminate or restrict access by repeat infringers.

6. False Claims

Submitting false or misleading DMCA notices or counter-notices can create legal liability. Do not weaponize copyright law because you are angry about a review.
