Repeat Infringer Policy

Infringement of our copyright is taken extremely severely by us. The provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act’s repeat infringer policy necessitate that we keep a record of DMCA notifications received from copyright holders and make a good faith attempt to identify any repeat infringers. In accordance with these requirements, we maintain a list of DMCA notices. Those users who breach our internal policy regarding repeat infringers will have their accounts deleted if they do so.
