This Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Takedown Policy is effective as of March 7, 2025, and applies to all content published on PressClone (pressclone.com).

PressClone respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (DMCA), we have established the following policy to address claims of copyright infringement on our website.

  3. Identification of Infringing Material: Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit PressClone to locate the material.
  4. Contact Information: Information reasonably sufficient to permit PressClone to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an email address.
  5. Good Faith Statement: A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. Accuracy Statement and Perjury Statement: A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Repeat Infringer Policy

PressClone maintains a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers. A repeat infringer is a user who has been notified of infringing activity more than twice and/or has had content removed from the service more than twice.

Modification of Material or Activity

If you are the content provider and you believe that your content is not infringing, or you have authorization from the copyright holder, the copyright holder’s agent, or pursuant to the law, you may send a counter-notice containing the information above. When we receive a counter-notice, we may, in our discretion, reinstate the material in 10-14 business days or more after we receive the counter-notice, unless we receive notice that a legal action has been filed against the user.

Good Faith Belief

Please note that under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing, or that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be subject to liability.

Disclaimer

PressClone reserves the right to modify, update, or discontinue this policy at any time without prior notice. We encourage you to review this policy periodically for any changes.

This information is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. If you have legal questions about copyright or the DMCA, you should consult with a qualified attorney.

DMCA Compliance

PressClone complies with the DMCA and maintains the appropriate procedures for addressing claims of copyright infringement. We reserve the right to delete or disable content alleged to be infringing and to terminate accounts of repeat infringers according to the process set out in the DMCA.
