Copyright & DMCA Policy

1. Respect for rights

Users may not upload, generate, publish, or distribute content through PRISM in violation of copyright, trademark, publicity, privacy, contractual, or other rights. PRISM may remove or restrict content and suspend repeat or egregious infringers in appropriate circumstances.

2. Copyright notices

A copyright infringement notice should include: identification of the copyrighted work; identification and location of the allegedly infringing material sufficient for PRISM to locate it; your name and contact information; a statement of good-faith belief that use is not authorized by the rights holder, its agent, or law; a statement under penalty of perjury that the notice is accurate and you are authorized to act; and your physical or electronic signature.

3. Counter-notices

If your material was removed because of a copyright notice and you believe removal resulted from mistake or misidentification, a counter-notice should include: identification of the removed material and its prior location; your name and contact information; a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed because of mistake or misidentification; consent to the jurisdiction required by applicable law and acceptance of service from the notifying party; and your physical or electronic signature.

PRISM may provide a valid counter-notice to the original claimant and may restore material when permitted by law unless the claimant provides timely notice of a court action.

4. Repeat infringement

PRISM may terminate accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances and may act against a single severe or willful violation. PRISM may consider valid notices, counter-notices, context, court orders, repeat behavior, and other reliable evidence.

5. Misrepresentation

Submitting a knowingly false notice or counter-notice may create legal liability. Do not use this process to resolve non-copyright disputes, silence criticism, or claim rights you do not own or represent.

6. Other rights

Trademark, publicity, privacy, defamation, impersonation, and other non-copyright concerns should be clearly identified in a Support request. A DMCA notice is not a substitute for claims based on other rights.

7. Submitting a request

Submit copyright requests through PRISM Support and clearly label the request “Copyright notice” or “Copyright counter-notice.” Do not send secret keys, passwords, full payment-card numbers, or unrelated personal information. This Policy does not claim that PRISM has a federally registered DMCA designated agent.
