DMCA Copyright Policy for Who Won Best Picture

Who Won Best Picture ("we", "us", or "our") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (DMCA), whose text may be found on the U.S. Copyright Office website, we will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed using the Who Won Best Picture service and/or website (the "Site") if such claims are reported to our Designated Copyright Agent identified below.

This policy describes the information that should be present in a DMCA takedown notice and a DMCA counter-notification. We are not providing legal advice; we recommend you consult legal counsel before filing a DMCA takedown notice or counter-notification.

Filing a DMCA Takedown Notice

If you are a copyright owner, or an agent authorized to act on behalf of one, and you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement and is accessible via the Who Won Best Picture website, please submit a written DMCA Takedown Notice containing the following information (the "DMCA Notice") to our Designated Copyright Agent:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site.
  3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material. Providing URLs in the body of an email is the best way to help us locate content quickly.
  4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted.
  5. A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Upon receipt of a valid DMCA Notice, we will promptly remove the identified infringing content. We will also notify the user who posted the allegedly infringing content of the removal and provide them with information regarding how to file a DMCA Counter-Notification.

Filing a DMCA Counter-Notification

If you believe that your content was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you have the right to file a Counter-Notification. If your content was removed due to a DMCA Takedown Notice, we will provide you with instructions on how to file a DMCA Counter-Notification. Your Counter-Notification must include substantially the following information:

  • Your physical or electronic signature.
  • Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled.
  • 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 of the material to be removed or disabled.
  • Your name, address, and 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 Who Won Best Picture may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the DMCA Takedown Notice or an agent of such person.

Upon receipt of a valid Counter-Notification, we will send a copy to the original complaining party. If the complaining party does not inform us that they have filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the user from engaging in infringing activity related to the material on our service within 10-14 business days, we may replace or restore access to the removed material.
