DMCA / Copyright Policy

What to include in a notice (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3))

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.

Counter-notice

If your post was removed and you believe it was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice with: your signature; identification of the removed material and where it appeared; a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe it was removed by mistake or misidentification; your name, address and phone; and consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your district (or, outside the U.S., any district where we may be found), and to accept service from the person who sent the original notice. We may restore the material in 10-14 business days unless the claimant tells us they have filed a lawsuit.

Repeat infringers

We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers. See Terms of Use.

Bluesky posts and other platforms

We don't copy insider posts. We show a short line written by us (for example "@handle posted about injuries") with a link to the original post, so authors stay in control and deleted posts disappear from our site on the next refresh.
