Copyright & DMCA

1.Designated agent

Studio 17 LLC designates the following agent to receive notices of claimed infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. 512):

The fastest route is the report form: it asks for every element below, and a complete notice that names an Accentor share link disables that link as soon as it is received. Notices sent by email are read by a person.

2.What a notice must contain

A notice is effective only if it includes, in writing, all of the following (17 U.S.C. 512(c)(3)):

• Your physical or electronic signature (a typed full name is an electronic signature), as the copyright owner or a person authorised to act for them.
• Identification of the copyrighted work you say is infringed — or, for several works, a representative list.
• Identification of the material you say infringes, with enough information for us to find it. For material shared from Accentor, the share link is exactly that.
• Your name, and an email address or other way to contact you.
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or authorised to act on the owner’s behalf.

A notice missing any of these is recorded, and we reply naming what is missing; nothing is taken down on an incomplete notice. Knowingly misrepresenting that material infringes can make you liable for damages (17 U.S.C. 512(f)).

3.What we do with a complete notice

• We disable the share link the notice identifies, expeditiously.
• We record the notice and the action taken.
• We tell the workspace that shared the link that it was taken down under a copyright notice, and how to counter-notice.

Disabling a share link removes public access to the material. The work itself stays in the owner’s workspace, private to them.

4.Counter-notice

If your share link was disabled and you believe the notice was a mistake, or that you have the right to use the material, you may send a counter-notice to [email protected]. It must include (17 U.S.C. 512(g)(3)):

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the material that was disabled and where it appeared before (the share link).
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
• Your name, address and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, outside the United States, any judicial district in which Studio 17 LLC may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the notice or their agent.

We forward a complete counter-notice to the person who sent the original notice. Unless they tell us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action to restrain the use, we may restore access 10 to 14 business days after we received the counter-notice.

5.Repeat infringers

We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers. A workspace whose shares are the subject of repeated valid notices that were not successfully countered will lose the ability to share publicly and may be closed.

6.Other reports

To report something that is not a copyright matter — abuse, impersonation, or material that sexualises a minor — use the same report form. Reports of child sexual abuse material disable the named link immediately, before any review. The conduct rules are in the Acceptable Use Policy.
