Important Notes
  • False Claims: Submitting a false DMCA notice or counter-notice may result in legal penalties (per U.S. law). Always consult a lawyer before filing a claim.
  • Fair Use: The DMCA allows limited use of copyrighted material for purposes like commentary, criticism, or education. If your use falls under “fair use,” explain this in your counter-notice.
