DMCA

At Cyberspace Lounge, we take copyright protection seriously and are fully committed to complying with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). If you believe that your copyrighted work has been used on our platform without your authorization, you have the right to file a DMCA takedown notice. Our DMCA process is designed to be clear and transparent, ensuring that both copyright owners and our users have a fair opportunity to assert their rights.

Filing a DMCA Notice

To file a DMCA notice with us, please ensure that your notice includes the following details:

• Authorized Signatory Information: The physical or electronic signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner whose rights are being infringed.
• Detailed Description of the Copyrighted Work: A clear and complete description of the copyrighted material you claim has been infringed. If possible, please include the registration number or any other identification details that confirm your ownership.
• Identification of Infringing Material: A clear description of the infringing content, including any relevant URLs or other identifiers to help us locate the material on our platform.
• Statement of Good Faith Belief: A declaration that you believe in good faith that the use of the copyrighted material in question is unauthorized by you, your agent, or the law.
• Accuracy Declaration: A statement under penalty of perjury affirming that the information in your notice is accurate, and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner.
• Contact Information: Your full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address where we can contact you.

Our Response

Upon receiving your valid DMCA notice, we will conduct a review of the claim. If the notice is properly formatted and the claim appears credible, we will take immediate action to remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content. We will also notify the user who uploaded the content and provide them with a copy of your notice.

Filing a Counter-Notification

If the affected user believes that the content was removed or disabled by mistake, they have the right to file a counter-notification. The counter-notification must include:

• Identification of the material that was removed and its location before removal.
• A statement under penalty of perjury that the user has a good faith belief that the material was removed as a result of a mistake or misidentification.
• The user’s full name, address, telephone number, and email address.
• A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal district court in which their address is located (or any other appropriate jurisdiction).
• The user’s physical or electronic signature.

We will forward any valid counter-notification to the original complainant. If the complainant does not file a legal action within 10-14 business days, the content may be restored.

We encourage all parties involved to act responsibly and ensure the accuracy of their submissions. Any misrepresentations in a DMCA notice or counter-notice may result in legal liability.
