DMCA and copyright

We respect copyright and we expect the same. If material on this site infringes your copyright, tell us and we will act.

Sending a notice

Email [email protected] with the subject line “DMCA notice”, including:

1. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed.
2. The exact URL on this site where the material appears, specific enough that we can find it.
3. Your name, address, telephone number and email.
4. A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
5. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and — under penalty of perjury — that you are the owner or authorised to act on the owner’s behalf.
6. Your physical or electronic signature.

Incomplete notices slow things down. All six items help.

What happens next

We review promptly and remove or disable access to material that appears to infringe. We will tell you what we did.

Counter-notice

If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, send a counter-notice to the same address with the material and its former location, your contact details, a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the removal was a mistake, your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, if outside the US, any district in which we may be found), and your signature.

A note on misuse

Knowingly misrepresenting that material is infringing carries liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). We do not remove accurate, sourced, critical coverage because a company dislikes it, and a takedown notice is not the right tool for that.

Quoting us

Short quotations with attribution and a link are fine and welcome. For anything longer, or to reuse our data tables, write to the same address.
