Before submitting a copyright complaint to us, please consider whether the use could be considered fair use. Fair use allows brief excerpts of copyrighted material to be quoted verbatim under certain circumstances, such as criticism, news reporting, teaching, and research, without the need for permission from or payment to the copyright holder. If you have considered fair use and still wish to proceed with a copyright complaint, it might be helpful to reach out to the user in question first to attempt to resolve the matter directly.
Please note that if you are uncertain whether the material you are reporting is indeed infringing, it is advisable to consult with an attorney before filing a notification with us.
The DMCA requires you to provide your personal information in the copyright infringement notification. If you have privacy concerns regarding your personal information, you may choose to hire an agent to report infringing material on your behalf.

A user who receives a copyright infringement notification has the option to submit a counter-notification in accordance with sections 512(g)(2) and (3) of the US Copyright Act. If you receive a copyright infringement notification, it signifies that the material mentioned in the notification has been removed from our services or access to it has been restricted. It is important to carefully review the notification, which contains details about the reported content.
If uncertain about whether certain material infringes the copyrights of others or if the material or activity was removed or restricted by mistake or misidentification, you may want to consult an attorney before filing a counter-notification.
Despite any contrary provisions in this Policy, Empowered reserves the right to take no action upon receipt of a counter-notification. In cases where a compliant counter-notification is received in accordance with the terms of 17 U.S.C. § 512(g), Empowered may forward it to the person who filed the original notification.
The process outlined in this Policy does not constrain our ability to pursue any other remedies we may have to address suspected infringement.
