Notice of Infringement

If you believe that content on yew.gg infringes your copyright, the fastest way to submit a takedown notice is through our online form: yew.gg/dmca/submit. You may also send a written notice by email to dmca@yew.gg. Either channel must include all of the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, and its URL or other location on yew.gg so that we can locate it.
4. Your contact information, including your address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or applicable law.
6. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

In addition to the statutory requirements above, our online form requires verification information that legitimate rights holders can readily produce: the capacity in which you are filing (owner, agent, or attorney) and your authority to act if you are not the owner; the type, title, country and date of first publication, and a publicly accessible location of the original work; the specific element(s) claimed to be infringing (code, text, imagery, audio, video, etc.); a side-by-side identification of the portions copied; a substantial-similarity analysis addressing fair use under 17 U.S.C. § 107 (see Lenz v. Universal Music Corp., 815 F.3d 1145 (9th Cir. 2016)); whether you attempted to contact the developer before filing; an acknowledgment of the § 512(g) counter-notification process; and consent under § 512(g)(2)(B) to disclose your identity to the alleged infringer.

Notices that do not comply with all of these requirements may not receive a response. Upon receipt of a complete, valid notice, yew.gg will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the identified material. Warning: Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that content or activity is infringing may be subject to liability for damages — including costs and attorneys’ fees — incurred by the alleged infringer, the content provider, or yew.gg. Submitting a false or bad-faith takedown notice is perjury and may also constitute a federal crime under 18 U.S.C. § 1001. yew.gg logs the IP address, user-agent, and timestamp of every submission, and reserves the right to pursue fraudulent claimants for damages, fees, and costs incurred.

Counter-Notification

If you believe your content was removed from yew.gg in error, you may file a counter-notification by email to dmca@yew.gg that includes:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal.
3. Your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
4. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
5. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if outside the United States, any judicial district in which Yew LLC may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original infringement notice.
