INFRINGEMENT/DMCA

DMCA Takedown Policy

It is our policy to honor all takedown requests that comply with the requirements of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and other applicable intellectual property laws. We strongly suggest that you contact us at legal@rumblefish.com before filing a DMCA infringement claim.

How to File an Infringement Complaint

To file a claim of infringement please provide us with a document via fax, regular mail, or email that includes the following items:

  1. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of all such works.
  2. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material. Please provide us with at minimum a URL to each work that is claimed to be infringing. Note: Providing us with search terms such as "Video A" or "Song B" or “Artist C” will not be considered reasonably sufficient for us to locate the alleged infringing work. There may be multiple versions of "Video A", and you may only have the rights to request a takedown for one of those versions.
  3. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted.
  4. Statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  5. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
  6. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

For any complaints that reference more than 10 allegedly infringing works, please create a spreadsheet (.xls) or CSV file (.csv) that contains items 1 and 2 from above for each allegedly infringing piece of work. You may either attach it to an email or send it on a compact disc via mail.

Please note that the notification sent to us will be forwarded to the user who provided the allegedly infringing content.

Counter Notification

The provider of an affected work may file a counter notification pursuant to sections 512(g)(2) and (3) of the DMCA. When we receive a counter notification, we may reinstate the material in question.

To file a counter notification, please provide us with a document via fax, regular mail, or email that includes the following items:

A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which Rumblefish may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification under subsection (c)(1)(C) or an agent of such person.
  4. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.
