15. Copyright and Intellectual Property Rights Infringement Procedures
Digital Millennium Copyright ActIt is DirtyPhoneBook's policy to respond to clear notices of alleged copyright and other claims of Intellectual Property infringement. Described herein is the information that should be present in the DMCA Notice of Copyright Infringement. It is designed to make submitting notices of alleged copyright and other claims of Intellectual Property infringement to DirtyPhoneBook as straightforward as possible while reducing the number of notices that we receive that are fraudulent or difficult to understand or verify. The format of the notice specified herein is consistent with the format suggested by the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the text of which can be found at the U.S. Copyright Office Web Site, http://www.copyright.gov).
DirtyPhoneBook's response to these notices may include removing or disabling access to material claimed to be the subject of infringing activity and/or terminating subscribers. If we remove or disable access in response to such a notice, we will make a good-faith attempt to contact the allegedly infringing party so that they may make a counter notification. We reserve the right, but are not obligated to document for our own records, notices of alleged infringement on which we act. Please note that in addition to being forwarded to the person who provided the allegedly infringing content, a copy of this legal notice may be sent to a third-party which may publish and/or annotate it.
