DMCA Notice

What is the DMCA?

The DMCA stands for the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. This stands for a number of laws related to the digital copyright of online content. This includes coverage for text, articles, images, videos and other online content typically found in a website.

The DMCA aims to protect the rightful owners of digital content from copyright infringement. Usually, only published papers like books, magazines, newspaper articles are subject to copyright infringement but since most of our data now is online, we need something similar that covers digital content.

If in case you believe that one or more of your copyrighted content is being used without your consent in this site, you may file a DMCA notice to our team. Just send the properly written DMCA notice to legal@webhostingplanguide.com

Why do you need to give notice?

You need to give the website notice so that we can take down any copyrighted content from our sites. Simply complaining online does not help since for you to be able to take action, you need to provide the service provider with proof that the content is indeed yours.

Information you need in a DMCA notice

Here’s the information that you need to include in your DMCA notice so that we can minimize the back and forth of emails. This will help settle the issue faster, too, so we both save time and effort.

• Electronic or digital signature of the claimant, included in your DMCA notice or letter
• Proper identification of the copyrighted content
• Original link where the original copyrighted content can be found
• Link in question which holds the content being questioned
• Updated contact information – email, mailing address and mobile phone number
• A statement saying that your complaint is accurate and you are covered by the rules of perjury

To help you further, we have a sample take down letter below. You are free to use this as a template and just fill in with your details accordingly.
