No part of this website may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means, mechanical, electronic, or otherwise, including photocopying and recording, or by any information storage and retrieval system, or transmitted by e-mail, or used in any other fashion without the express prior written permission of the website owner.

The DMCA - Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) Policy

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) creates a standardized process for copyright holders (including software developers) to ask Businessgrowthstrategicadvisors.com, and its representatives, to take down infringing content. You can find more information about the DMCA on the U.S. Copyright Office’s official website.

As with all legal matters, it is always best to consult with a professional about your specific questions or situation. We strongly encourage you to do so before taking any action that might impact your rights. Our guides are NOT legal advice and shouldn’t be taken as such.

Accurate Information

The DMCA requires that you swear to the facts in your notice of infringement under penalty of perjury. It is a federal crime to intentionally lie in a sworn declaration. (See U.S. Code, Title 18, Section 1621). Submitting false information could also result in civil liability—that is, you could get sued for monetary damages.

Investigate

Filing a DMCA notice of infringement against such is a serious legal allegation that carries real consequences for real people. Because of that, we ask that you conduct a thorough investigation and consult with an attorney before submitting a takedown request to make sure that the use isn’t permissible.

A great first step before sending us a takedown notice is to try contacting the user directly.

No Automated Bots

You should have a trained professional evaluate the facts of every takedown notice you send. If you are outsourcing your efforts to a third party, make sure you know how they operate, and make sure they are not using automated bots to submit notices in bulk. These notices are often invalid and processing them results in needlessly taking down content.

Counter Notices

Any user affected by your takedown notice may decide to submit a counter notice. If they do, we will re-enable their content within 14 days unless you notify us that you have initiated a legal action seeking to restrain the user from engaging in infringing activity relating to the content on Decentral Publishing.

The Determination

Sales and marketing information exercises little discretion in the process other than determining whether the notices meet the minimum requirements of the DMCA. It is up to the parties (and their lawyers) to evaluate the merit of their claims, bearing in mind that notices must be made under penalty of perjury.

DMCA Takedown Notice

If someone else is using your copyrighted content unauthorizedly on our platforms, send an email notification to dmca@businessgrowthstrategicadvisors.com. You may include an attachment and a plain-text version of your letter in the body of your message.

To submit a notice of claimed copyright infringement, you will need to provide us with the following information:

  • A physical or electronic signature (typing your full name will suffice) of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf;
  • Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (e.g., a link to your original work or clear description of the materials allegedly being infringed upon);
  • Identification of the infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to permit to locating of the material on our website or services;
  • Your contact information, including your address, telephone number, and email address;
  • A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner asserted is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law. Include the following statement: “I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. I also affirm that as the copyright owner, I have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by me, my agent, or the law.”;
  • A statement that the information in the complaint is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

For details on the information required for valid notification, see 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3).

If you must send your notice by physical mail, you can do that too, but it will take substantially longer for us to receive and respond to it. Notices we receive via plain-text email have a much faster turnaround than PDF attachments or physical mail. If you still wish to mail us your notice, our physical address is:

DMCA Counter Notice

If you believe your content was mistakenly disabled by a DMCA takedown request, you have the right to contest the takedown by submitting a counter-notice. Before you begin, please ensure that you can answer the requirements for DMCA counter-notifications.

You may also submit a counter-notice by e-mail or physical mail, as set forth above.

If a notice of copyright infringement has been filed with the website owner against you, the owner will attempt to notify you and provide you with a copy of the notice of copyright infringement. If you have a good faith belief that you have been wrongfully accused, you may file a counternotification with the website owner. If the website owner receives a valid counternotification, the DMCA provides that the removed or blocked information will be restored or access re-enabled.

The website owner will replace the removed material and cease disabling access to it in not less than 10, nor more than 14, business days following receipt of the counter-notification, unless the website owner first receives notice from the complaining party that such complaining party has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the alleged infringer from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on this website.

Be advised that United States copyright law provides substantial penalties for a false counternotice filed in response to a notice of copyright infringement. Accordingly, if you are not sure whether certain material of yours is protected by copyright laws, we suggest that you first contact an attorney.
