If you recently received an email notice that your content was removed for copyright infringement, and you believe it was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification (a "Counter-Notice") to our designated copyright agent.
To be effective, your Counter-Notice must include substantially all of the following:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the content that was removed or disabled, and the location at which it appeared before removal. (Provide the link to the content that was removed.)
- Adequate information by which we can contact you, including your name, postal address, telephone number, and, if available, email address.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification.
- 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 you reside outside the United States, for any judicial district in which the site may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original DMCA Notice, or an agent of that person.
You can email your Counter-Notice to abuse@photobucket.com. Please indicate in the subject line that it's a Counter-Notice.
Upon receipt of a valid Counter-Notice, we'll provide a copy to the person who submitted the original DMCA Notice. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g), we may restore the removed content within ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days, unless the original complainant files a court action against you within that time.
You can find more information in our Intellectual Property Policy.
Please be aware that if you knowingly materially misrepresent that content was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may be held liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).
