We take copyright infringement allegations very seriously. Questions 1 and 2 below are to help guide you so you can double check your assumption/request. If you still feel that we are using your material illegally, then please provide us with specific examples of the copyrighted material you believe we have used without your permission. Please be as specific as you can when supplying us with information concerning questions/requests numbered (3) three through (8) eight, as this could affect how we respond back to you, or delay your determination progress. After you have gathered the required information, please send it to [email protected].
- Have you formally registered your copyrighted material with the appropriate legal authorities?
- Have you considered the possibility that the material falls under fair use or another exception to copyright law?
- Are you a Government Agency?
- Would you be open to discussing a licensing agreement or other arrangements that would allow me to continue using the material with your permission?
- Are you seeking financial compensation or are you primarily interested in protecting your rights to the material?
- Please provide us with a copy of the copyright registration or documentation for the material in question.
- Please specify the exact portions of the material that you believe have been infringed upon.

Once we receive your information we will follow the proper procedure for investigating copyright infringement claims. Please understand that this can be a lengthily procedure and sometimes we rely on third party information and we must wait for them to respond back to us. Thank you for understanding.
