COPYRIGHT
AND DIGITAL MILLENNIUM COPYRIGHT ACT NOTICE POLICY
Media Awareness Project Inc.
(“MAP”) has adopted the following general policy toward
copyright infringement in accordance with the Digital Millennium
Copyright Act (the “DMCA,” 15 U.S.C. § 512)
(http://lcweb.loc.gov/copyright/legislation/dmca.pdf).
The address of MAP’s Designated Agent to Receive Notification
of Claimed Infringement (“Designated Agent”) is listed at
the end of this policy.
It
is MAP’s policy to (1) block access to or remove any content
(including, without limitation, text, graphics, and photos)
(collectively, “Content”) that it believes in good faith
to be copyrighted material that has been illegally copied and/or
distributed by any of our visitors; and (2) remove and discontinue
service to repeat offenders.
A.
PROCEDURE FOR REPORTING COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENTS:
If
you believe that Content residing on or accessible through
http://www.mapinc.org, http://www.drugpolicycentral.com, or
http://www.drugsense.org (the “Service”) infringes a
copyright, please send a notice of copyright infringement containing
the following information to the Designated Agent listed below:
1. Identification of the
copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed on or through the
Service, including the copyright registration number for any such
work if applicable;
2. Identification of the
Content that you claim has infringed the identified copyrighted work,
including (a) a description of how the material in question is using
the copyrighted work in a way that constitutes copyright
infringement, and (b) a description of where the material in question
is located on or in the Service, with sufficient detail that we may
verify the existence of the material within the Service;
3. Your contact information,
including your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and
email address;
4. A statement by you that
you have a good faith belief that the disputed use of the copyrighted
materials is not authorized by the copyright holder, its agents, or
the law;
5. A statement by you, made
under penalty of perjury, that the information provided in your
notice is accurate and that you are the copyright holder or are the
authorized to act on behalf of the copyright holder; and
6. An electronic or physical
signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright
holder.
B.
ONCE PROPER BONA FIDE INFRINGEMENT NOTIFICATION IS RECEIVED BY THE
DESIGNATED AGENT:
It
is MAP’s policy:
1. To remove or disable
access to the allegedly-infringing Content;
2. To notify the user whose
Content has been removed or disabled; and
3. That repeat offenders will
have any allegedly-infringing Content removed from the Service and
that MAP will terminate such user’s access to the Service.
C.
PROCEDURE TO SUPPLY A COUNTER-NOTICE TO THE DESIGNATED AGENT:
If
the notified-user believes that the Content that was removed or to
which access was disabled is not infringing, or if the user believes
that he or she has the right to post and use such Content from the
copyright owner, the copyright owner’s agent, or pursuant to
the law (including as a fair use), the notified-user must send a
counter-notice containing the following information to the Designated
Agent listed below:
1. Identification of the
Content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled,
including a description of the where the material in question
appeared on the Service before it was removed or disabled;
2. A statement by you, made
under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief that the
Content was removed or blocked as a result of a mistake or
misidentification of the Content in question;
3. Your contact information,
including full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email
address;
4. A statement by you that
you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal Court for the judicial
district in which your address is located or, if your address is
outside of the USA, for the judicial district in which MAP is
located, and that you will accept service of process from the person
who provided notification of the alleged infringement;
5. Your electronic or
physical signature.
If
a valid counter-notice is received by the Designated Agent, MAP may
send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party
informing that party that MAP may replace the removed Content or
cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner
files an action seeking a court order against the user, the removed
Content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14
business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at MAP’s
sole discretion.
