Notification of Copyright Infringement – DCMA

If you are a copyright owner, authorized to act on behalf of one, or authorized to act under any exclusive right under copyright,  you must notify our Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) agent in English as follows:

BY EMAIL TO: [email protected]

Subject Line: DMCA Takedown Request

The notification must contain the following information (collectively known as the “Notice”):

1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the work(s) that has/have been allegedly infringed;
2. Identification of works or materials being infringed, or, if multiple works are covered by a single notification, then a representative list of such works;
3. Identification of the specific material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit Thunder Dungeon to locate the material;
4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit Thunder Dungeon to contact you, such as an address, telephone number and, if available, an electronic mail address at which you may be contacted;
5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and
6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

You should consult with your own lawyer and/or see 17 U.S.C. § 512 or other applicable laws to confirm your obligations to provide a valid notice of claimed infringement.

Upon receipt of a valid notice, Thunder Dungeon will process the claim, which may result in removal or limitation of access to the allegedly infringing material, subject to the user’s right to submit a Counter-Notification that provides claim of lawful use of the disabled works. In applicable circumstances, Thunder Dungeon will have the disputed material removed from public view and will also notify the user who posted the alleged infringing material. This notification may include a complete copy of the notice formerly submitted regarding that material.

Material Originating From Another Website

If the alleged infringing material originates from another source and you believe that the Service has cached that material, then confirm any of the following that apply:

1. The material has been removed from the originating site or access to the material on the originating site has been disabled;
2. A court has ordered that the material be removed from the originating site; and/or
3. A court has ordered that access to the material on the originating site be disabled.

Failure to include all of the above information may result in a delay in processing the DMCA Notification.  If you misrepresent that any material infringes your copyright interest, you may be liable for damages, including court costs and attorneys’ fees, and could be subject to criminal prosecution for perjury.

False Notifications of Claimed Infringement

The United States Copyright Act provides that: any person who knowingly materially misrepresents under [Section 512 of the Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512)] (1) that material or activity is infringing, or (2) that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, will be liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, by any copyright owner or copyright owner’s authorized licensee, or by a service provider, who is injured by such misrepresentation, as the result of Thunder Dungeon relying upon such misrepresentation in removing or disabling access to the material or activity claimed to be infringing, or in replacing the removed material or ceasing to disable access to it.

17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

Thunder Dungeon reserves the right to seek damages from any party that submits a Notification of Claimed Infringement or Counter Notification in violation of applicable law.

At its discretion and in appropriate circumstances, Thunder Dungeon will disable and/or terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe or are repeatedly charged with infringing the copyrights or other intellectual property rights of others.
