Dear Sir/Madam,

We are contacting you concerning the above-referenced site(s) that we
originally brought to your attention in our letter of 03 January 2010
(please see attached e-mail).

Despite our earlier notification, we are aware that the webpages at the
above-referenced URLs are still accessible.

Please confirm by return what action you have taken in relation to our
earlier notification. If no action has been taken we reiterate our request
for your immediate assistance and ask that you inform the site operator(s)
of the illegality of their conduct.

We note that under Google's Blogger DMCA Policy, Google will, in appropriate
circumstances, terminate the accounts of repeat infringers and that under
the Blogger Content Policy Google reserves the right to terminate accounts
that are used for unlawful purposes.

Our top priority is to prevent the continued availability of the IFPI
Represented Companies' content on the internet. Unauthorized copies of
sound recordings that are freely available, especially pre-release
recordings, cause substantial damage to the IFPI Represented Companies every
hour and day they remain available. In sending these notices, we are
seeking to ensure that infringing content is removed from the internet as
quickly as possible through your cooperation. However, please note that we
do not admit that we or the IFPI Represented Companies are responsible for
detecting infringing material and notifying you of it.

We also do not admit that you are within the protection of the DMCA safe
harbors or that prompt removal of links according to this notice is
sufficient for you to avoid potential liability under applicable copyright
laws, though it may mitigate your exposure.

You should understand that this letter constitutes notice to you that
operator(s) of the above site(s) may be liable for infringing activity
occurring on your service. In addition, your company may also be liable for
any

FAQ: Questions and Answers

[back to notice text]

Question: Why does a search engine get DMCA takedown notices for materials in its search listings?
Answer: Many copyright claimants are making complaints under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, Section 512(d), a safe-harbor for providers of "information location tools." These safe harbors give providers immunity from liability for users' possible copyright infringement -- if they "expeditiously" remove material when they get complaints. Whether or not the provider would have been liable for infringement by users' materials it links to, the provider can avoid the possibility of a lawsuit for money damages by following the DMCA's takedown procedure when it gets a complaint. The person whose information was removed can file a counter-notification if he or she believes the complaint was erroneous.
Question: What does a service provider have to do in order to qualify for safe harbor protection?

Answer: In addition to informing its customers of its policies (discussed above), a service provider must follow the proper notice and takedown procedures (discussed above) and also meet several other requirements in order to qualify for exemption under the safe harbor provisions.

In order to facilitate the notification process in cases of infringement, ISPs which allow users to store information on their networks, such as a web hosting service, must designate an agent that will receive the notices from copyright owners that its network contains material which infringes their intellectual property rights. The service provider must then notify the Copyright Office of the agent's name and address and make that information publicly available on its web site. [512(c)(2)]
Finally, the service provider must not have knowledge that the material or activity is infringing or of the fact that the infringing material exists on its network. [512(c)(1)(A)], [512(d)(1)(A)]. If it does discover such material before being contacted by the copyright owners, it is instructed to remove, or disable access to, the material itself. [512(c)(1)(A)(iii)], [512(d)(1)(C)]. The service provider must not gain any financial benefit that is attributable to the infringing material. [512(c)(1)(B)], [512(d)(2)].

Question: What are the provisions of 17 U.S.C. Section 512(c)(3) & 512(d)(3)?
Answer: Section 512(c)(3) sets out the elements for notification under the DMCA. Subsection A (17 U.S.C. 512(c)(3)(A)) states that to be effective a notification must include: 1) a physical/electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the infringed right; 2) identification of the copyrighted works claimed to have been infringed; 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; 4) information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to contact the complaining party (e.g., the address, telephone number, or email address); 5) a statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner; and 6) a statement that information in the complaint is accurate and that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner. Subsection B (17 U.S.C. 512(c)(3)(B)) states that if the complaining party does not substantially comply with these requirements the notice will not serve as actual notice for the purpose of Section 512.
Section 512(d)(3), which applies to "information location tools" such as search engines and directories, incorporates the above requirements; however, instead of the identification of the allegedly infringing material, the notification must identify the reference or link to the material claimed to be infringing.

Question: Does a service provider have to follow the safe harbor procedures?
Answer: No. An ISP may choose not to follow the DMCA takedown process, and do without the safe harbor. If it would not be liable under pre-DMCA copyright law (for example, because it is not contributorily or vicariously liable, or because there is no underlying copyright infringement), it can still raise those same defenses if it is sued.

Question: How do I file a DMCA counter-notice?
Answer: If you believe your material was removed because of mistake or misidentification, you can file a "counter notification" asking the service provider to put it back up. Chilling Effects offers a form to build your own counter-notice.
