DMCA Policy

Wer Lã¶Ste Den Gordischen Knoten ("we", "us", or "our") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (DMCA), the text of which may be found on the U.S. Copyright Office website at https://www.copyright.gov/, we will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed using the Wer Lã¶Ste Den Gordischen Knoten service and/or website (the "Service") if such claims are reported to our Designated Copyright Agent identified below.

This policy describes the information that should be present in a Notice of Infringing Material and a Counter-Notice. We advise you to consult with your legal counsel or an attorney to determine your legal obligations when filing a notice or a counter-notice.

Filing a DMCA Notice of Infringement

If you are a copyright owner, or are authorized to act on behalf of one, and you believe your copyrighted work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement and is accessible via the Service, please send a "Notice of Infringing Material" to our Copyright Agent using the contact information provided at the bottom of this page. Your notice must contain substantially the following information (please consider consulting your legal counsel to confirm these requirements):

  1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site.
  3. 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 the service provider to locate the material.
  4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address.
  5. A 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.
  6. 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.

Upon receipt of a valid Notice of Infringing Material, we will remove or disable access to the infringing content. We may also terminate repeat infringers' access to the Service in appropriate circumstances.

Filing a DMCA Counter-Notification

If you believe that your content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may send a "Counter-Notification" to our Copyright Agent using the contact information provided below. Your Counter-Notification must contain substantially the following information (please consider consulting your legal counsel to confirm these requirements):

  • Your physical or electronic signature.
  • Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled.
  • 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.
  • Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the 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 Wer Lã¶Ste Den Gordischen Knoten may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of infringement or an agent of such person.

Upon receipt of a valid Counter-Notification, we will promptly provide the complaining party with a copy. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, member, or user, the removed material may be replaced or access to it restored in 10 to 14 business days after receipt of the Counter-Notification.

Please send all DMCA notices and counter-notifications to our Designated Copyright Agent via our contact page.
