Before you begin
- This form is long. It asks for everything a copyright notice must legally contain, and a number of things that help us verify it. Please set aside fifteen minutes.
- Notices must be submitted in English. The statements you will be asked to swear to are legal text and are shown in English only, deliberately, because a translated version of them would not be the same statement.
- A copyright notice is a sworn legal document. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing can be held liable for damages, costs and attorneys’ fees. Please do not send this form unless you genuinely hold the rights you are about to claim.
- Your name, address and telephone number are required by law and are held in confidence. A copy of your notice may be forwarded to the party who supplied the material, and may be published to a transparency database such as Lumen.
- When you submit, you receive a reference number and a private link for following the progress of your notice. We aim to complete our review within 5 business days.
Not a copyright matter? Trademark complaints, privacy requests, business enquiries and bug reports all go through the contact form instead.
