1.Respect for Copyright
EDYOU LLC (“EDYOU,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects intellectual-property rights and expects users of EDYOU to do the same. EDYOU may remove or disable access to material alleged to infringe copyright and may take appropriate action against accounts that repeatedly infringe or repeatedly upload unauthorized protected material.
2.Designated Copyright Agent
Copyright notices and counter-notices under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) should be sent to EDYOU’s designated Copyright Agent:
Jonathan Bick, Copyright Agent
Brach Eichler LLC
101 Eisenhower Parkway, Roseland, New Jersey 07068
Telephone: 973-228-5700
Please send DMCA notices and counter-notices to the designated Copyright Agent above. Notices sent elsewhere may be delayed.
3.How to Submit a DMCA Takedown Notice
If you are a copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of a copyright owner and believe material available through EDYOU infringes an exclusive copyright right, you may submit a written notification to the designated Copyright Agent. To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), the notice should include substantially all of the following:
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or a representative list if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by one notice.
- Identification of the material claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, together with information reasonably sufficient to allow EDYOU to locate the material, such as a URL, username, post or content identifier, screenshot, or other identifying information.
- Information reasonably sufficient to allow EDYOU to contact the complaining party, such as the complaining party’s name, mailing address, telephone number, and, if available, email address.
- A statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, the owner’s agent, or the law.
- A statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
A copyright registration number or copy of a registration may be provided if available, but this policy does not require a complainant to submit a United States copyright registration as a condition of sending a DMCA notice.
4.EDYOU Response to a Takedown Notice
When EDYOU receives a notice that substantially complies with the DMCA, EDYOU may act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the material identified in the notice. EDYOU may also take reasonable steps to notify the user who posted the material and may provide that user with information about the counter-notice process.
Removal or disabling of material in response to a notice does not constitute a determination by EDYOU that infringement has occurred.
5.Counter-Notice Process
If your material was removed or access to it was disabled and you believe in good faith that the action resulted from mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter-notice to the designated Copyright Agent. To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3), the counter-notice should include substantially all of the following:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material that was removed or to which access was disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
- Your name, address, and telephone number, together with a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or, if your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which EDYOU may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original infringement notice or that person’s agent.
6.Restoration After a Counter-Notice
If EDYOU receives a counter-notice that substantially complies with the DMCA, EDYOU may provide a copy to the person who submitted the original takedown notice. Subject to applicable law, EDYOU may restore the removed material or cease disabling access not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days after receiving the counter-notice unless the designated Copyright Agent first receives notice that the original complainant has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the user from engaging in the allegedly infringing activity.
7.Repeat-Infringer Policy
EDYOU maintains a policy of restricting or terminating, in appropriate circumstances, accounts of users who repeatedly infringe copyright. Depending on the circumstances, EDYOU may warn a user, remove or disable access to content, restrict features, suspend an account, or permanently terminate an account.
Users may not attempt to evade copyright enforcement by reuploading removed material, making immaterial changes to removed material, creating another account to restore removed material, or directing another person to repost removed material on their behalf.
8.Misrepresentations
Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), a person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing, or that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees. Please ensure that statements made in a takedown notice or counter-notice are accurate.
9.User Responsibility for Copyrighted Material and Music
Users may upload or share music, photographs, video, audio, artwork, text, or other copyrighted material only when they created the material or otherwise have the rights, licenses, permissions, or legal authority necessary to use it on EDYOU. Access to music or other content through a personal streaming subscription or another platform does not by itself authorize use of that material on EDYOU.
10.No Legal Advice
This policy describes EDYOU’s copyright procedures and is not legal advice. Copyright ownership, infringement, fair use, licensing, and the decision to submit a notice or counter-notice can involve legal questions. Parties should consult their own attorney when appropriate.
