DMCA and copyright complaints

Copyright complaints are taken seriously and handled by a person, not a form robot. This page explains what we can and cannot act on, and exactly what a usable notice needs to contain.

We do not host visitor images

Every image and PDF tool on this site runs inside your browser. Files are read into memory by the page you are on, processed there, and released when the tab closes. Nothing is uploaded, so there is no library of visitor uploads here to search, disclose or take down. If you have found your artwork republished on some other site, that host — not this one — is the party who can remove it.

What we can act on is material published on this site itself: article text, illustrations, screenshots and diagrams on our own pages. If any of that is yours and it is here without your permission, tell us and it comes down.

What a valid notice must include

Under 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3), a notice has to contain all of the following before a host can act on it. Missing items are the usual reason a complaint stalls, so please include them all:

  • Your physical or electronic signature, as the owner or an authorised agent.
  • Identification of the work you say has been infringed.
  • The exact URL on this site where the material appears — a page address, not a search result or a screenshot.
  • Your name, postal address, telephone number and email address.
  • A statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  • A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorised to act on the owner's behalf.

Where to send it

Send the notice through the contact page and mark it as a copyright complaint. Notices are read within a few working days. Where the claim is clear, the material is removed or replaced first and discussed afterwards.

Counter-notice

If material of yours was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you can send a counter-notice. It needs your signature, identification of the removed material and where it appeared, a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith it was removed in error, your contact details, and your consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate federal court.

Repeat infringers and bad-faith notices

Accounts do not exist on this site, so there is no account to terminate; what we do instead is keep a record of removed material so the same item is not republished. Knowingly false claims of infringement carry liability for damages under §512(f), so please check ownership before filing.
