- 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.
