Copyright & DMCA

The 1912 Society respects the intellectual property of others and expects members to do the same. We respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), 17 U.S.C. § 512. This page explains how to report content you believe infringes your copyright, and how to respond if your content was removed. See also our Terms and Community Guidelines.

Reporting infringement (takedown notice)

If you are a copyright owner (or authorized to act for one) and believe material on the Service infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our Designated Agent that includes all of the following:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim was infringed (or a representative list if multiple works).
3. Identification of the material you claim is infringing, with enough detail for us to locate it — the URL or a direct link within the app is best.
4. Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.

Incomplete notices may not be actionable. Knowingly making a material misrepresentation that content is infringing may make you liable for damages under § 512(f).

What we do with a valid notice

On receiving a compliant notice, we will remove or disable access to the material promptly and make a reasonable effort to notify the member who posted it, giving them the counter-notice information below.

Counter-notice

If your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake or misidentification, you may send our Designated Agent a written counter-notice that includes:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal.
3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, mailing address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your district (or, if outside the U.S., any district in which we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the complaining party or its agent.

If we receive a valid counter-notice, we may restore the material in 10–14 business days unless the original complainant notifies us that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the allegedly infringing activity.

Repeat infringers

We will, in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, disable or terminate the accounts of members who are repeat infringers.
