Digital Millennium Copyright Act Policy
Welcome to https://www.www.www.www.www.updnews.com (the ”Site”). We prioritize respect for intellectual property rights—both of others and our own. As we utilize AI-generated content and source materials from Google, we remain committed to complying with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), Title 17, United States Code, Section 512(c). A copyright owner or their agent may submit a takedown notice to us via our DMCA Agent listed below. As an internet service provider, we are entitled to claim immunity from infringement claims under the DMCA’s ”safe harbor” provisions. To submit a good faith infringement claim, please provide notice with the following information:
Notice of Infringement – Claim
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner (or authorized representative).
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
- Identification of the infringing material to be removed and sufficient information to locate it. Please include the URL of the page in question to assist us in identifying the allegedly offending work.
- Contact details, including your name, physical address, email address, phone number, and fax number.
- A statement affirming your good faith belief that the use of the material is unauthorized by the copyright agent.
- A statement that the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
Title 17 USC §512(f) provides civil damage penalties, including costs and attorney fees, against any person who knowingly and materially misrepresents certain information in a notification under 17 USC §512(c)(3).
Send all takedown notices through our Contact page. Email submissions are strongly encouraged for prompt attention.
Please note that we may share the identity and information in any copyright infringement claim with the alleged infringer. By submitting a claim, you agree that your identity and claim details may be communicated to the alleged infringer.
Counter Notification – Restoration of Material
If you believe material was removed by mistake or misidentification due to a copyright infringement claim, you may submit a counter notification. Please provide written notice to our DMCA Agent, including the following:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- A description of the material removed and its original location before takedown.
- A statement under penalty of perjury affirming your good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled erroneously.
- Your contact details, including name, address, and phone number. Include a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your location (or, if outside the U.S., any judicial district in which the service provider may be found), and agree to accept service of process from the complainant.
Send your counter notice through our Contact page. Email submissions are highly recommended for efficiency.
Repeat Infringer Policy
We take copyright infringement seriously. In compliance with the DMCA, we maintain a record of notices from copyright holders and make a good faith effort to identify repeat infringers. Accounts violating our repeat infringer policy will be terminated.
Modifications
We reserve the right to revise this page and policy at any time. As we utilize AI and sourced materials, updates may reflect changes in technology or legal requirements. Please check back periodically for updates.
