Copyright complaints

This policy is a first draft and has not been reviewed by a lawyer. The process below follows the shape of the US DMCA, which is the shape most platforms use and most complainants expect.

Last changed: 5 September 2026.

If your work is on a page here

Write to the address on the report page, with:

1. The address of the page.
2. What of yours is on it, and where the original can be seen.
3. Your name and how to reach you.
4. A statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorised by you, your agent or the law.
5. A statement that the information is accurate, and that you are the owner or are authorised to act for them.
6. Your signature, typed is fine.

We are not able to judge who owns what. What we can do is take the material down while the two of you settle it, and that is what we will do.

What happens next

We remove or hide the material, and tell the customer what was removed, why, and who said so — a complaint is not anonymous, because answering it requires knowing who to answer.

If you are the customer and the complaint is wrong

Send a counter-notice to the same address with:

1. What was removed and where it was.
2. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you believe it was removed by mistake or misidentification.
3. Your name, address and how to reach you.
4. Your agreement to the jurisdiction of the courts where you live, and to accept service from the complainant.

We pass it on. If the complainant does not go to court within about two weeks, we put the material back.

Repeat infringers

An account that gathers repeated, unanswered complaints is closed.

Complaints that are not honest

Saying something is yours when it is not, in order to have a page taken down, is a lie made under penalty of perjury. We keep the record.
