What your notice must include
The law (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)) asks for all of these. If something is missing, we may not be able to act on the notice.
- Your signature. A typed full name is fine.
- The work you say was copied. Describe it, or link to where we can see the original.
- The material on Solys you want removed, with enough detail for us to find it. A link to the post is best.
- Your contact information: name, mailing address, phone number and email.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement that the information in your notice is accurate, and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act for the owner.
Knowingly sending a false notice can make you liable for damages, including costs and attorney’s fees (17 U.S.C. § 512(f)).
What happens next
We aim to review every notice within 72 hours. If it is complete, we remove the post and tell the person who posted it why, and how to send a counter-notice.
If your post was removed: counter-notice
Counter-notices. If you believe material was removed by mistake or misidentification, you can send a counter-notice to copyright@solysapp.com with the information 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3) requires. We will forward it to the person who sent the original notice. We will restore the material in 10 to 14 business days after we receive your counter-notice, unless that person tells us they have filed a lawsuit to stop the infringement.
Your counter-notice must include:
- Your signature. A typed full name is fine.
- The post that was removed, and where it appeared before it was removed. A link to the post is best.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the post was removed by mistake or misidentification.
- Your name, mailing address and phone number.
- A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district where your address is (or, if your address is outside the United States, any judicial district in which Brightloop LLC may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice, or their agent.
False claims. Anyone who knowingly misrepresents that material is infringing, or was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). We may disregard notices from people who repeatedly send baseless claims.
Repeat infringers
Repeat infringers. Each valid copyright notice against your account is a strike. If you receive 3 strikes in 12 months, we will terminate your account. Notices about several items received together may count as one strike. A strike is removed if your counter-notice succeeds or the claim is withdrawn. Copyright strikes are separate from Community Guidelines strikes.
