Reporters Inc.
DMCA Notice &

Takedown Procedure
The Reporters Inc. abides by the federal Digital Millennium Copyright
Act (DMCA) by responding to notices of alleged infringement that
comply with the DMCA and other applicable laws. As part of our
response, we may remove or disable access to material residing on
a site that is controlled or operated by The Reporters Inc. (such as
www.thereporters.org) that is claimed to be infringing, in which case
we will make a good-faith attempt to contact the person who
submitted the affected material so that they may make a counter
notification, also in accordance with the DMCA.
The Reporters Inc. does not control content hosted on third party
websites, and cannot remove content from sites it does not own or
control. If you are the copyright owner of content hosted on a third
party site, and you have not authorized the use of your content,
please contact the administrator of that website directly to have the
content removed.
Before serving either a Notice of Infringing Material or Counter-

Notification, you may wish to contact a lawyer to better understand
your rights and obligations under the DMCA and other applicable
laws. The following notice requirements are intended to comply with
The Reporters Inc.’s rights and obligations under the DMCA and, in
particular, section 512(c), and do not constitute legal advice.
Notice of Infringing Material

To file a notice of infringing material on a site owned or controlled by
The Reporters Inc. (such as www.thereporters.org), please provide a
notification containing the following details:
1) Reasonably sufficient details to enable us to identify the

work claimed to be infringed or, if multiple works are
claimed to be infringed, a representative list of such works
(for example: title, author, any registration or tracking
number, URL);
2) Reasonably sufficient detail to enable us to identify and
locate the material that is claimed to be infringing (for
example a link to the page that contains the material);
3) Your contact information so that we can contact you (for

example, your address, telephone number, email address);
4) A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of
the material identified in (2) is not authorized by the
copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
5) A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in

the notification is accurate and that you are authorized to
act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is
alleged to be infringed.
6) Your physical or electronic signature.

The Reporters Inc. (such as www.thereporters.org) has been taken
down, you may file a counter-notification that contains the following
details:
1) Identification of the material that has been removed or to which

access has been disabled and the location at which the
