Counter-notice
Last updated October 2026
If content on your site was disabled after a copyright notice and you believe that was a mistake or misidentification (for example, the material is yours, you have a licence, or the notice points at the wrong thing), you can send a counter-notice under 17 U.S.C. §512(g)(3).
Before you send one: we pass your counter-notice, including your name, address, phone and email, to the person who complained, so that they can take legal action if they want to. Knowingly false statements can make you liable for damages (§512(f)). If you are unsure, talk to a lawyer. Details in our DMCA policy.
