1. Introduction
This Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) policy outlines the procedures for reporting copyright infringement on the Tiranga Game platform. The DMCA is a United States copyright law that implements two 1996 treaties of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). It provides a safe harbor for online service providers, which includes the platform, from liability for copyright infringement by their users, provided that they comply with certain requirements. This policy is designed to inform users of their rights and responsibilities under the DMCA and to establish a process for copyright owners to report alleged infringements.
2. Legal Framework
Under the DMCA, copyright owners have the right to notify service providers about infringing content. The service provider must then take appropriate action, which may include removing or disabling access to the infringing material. The DMCA also provides a mechanism for users to respond to takedown notices through counter-notices, allowing them to assert their rights to the content in question. This legal framework is designed to balance the interests of copyright holders with the rights of users to share and access information.
3. Safe Harbor Provisions
The DMCA establishes 'safe harbor' provisions that protect service providers from liability for infringing content uploaded by users, provided that the service provider does not have actual knowledge of the infringement or is not 'aware of facts or circumstances from which infringing activity is apparent.' To qualify for safe harbor, the service provider must also act expeditiously to remove or disable access to infringing material upon receiving proper notification from a copyright owner. This means that the platform must have a designated agent to receive DMCA notices and must follow the procedures outlined in the DMCA.
4. Reporting Copyright Infringement
If you believe that your copyrighted work has been infringed on this platform, you may submit a notification to our designated DMCA agent. Your notification must include the following information: a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner; identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed; identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to locate the material; your contact information, including your address, telephone number, and email address; 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 the law; and a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, under penalty of perjury.
5. Counter-Notices
If you believe that your material has been removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to our designated DMCA agent. Your counter-notice must include: your physical or electronic signature; identification of the material that has been removed or disabled and the location at which the material appeared before removal or disabling; 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; and your name, address, telephone number, and 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 your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which the service provider may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notification or an agent of such person.
