DMCA Notice & Takedown

Pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. §512, the operator's designated agent for receiving notifications of claimed infringement is reachable as follows:

The complete agent record (name, address, phone, organization) is on file with the U.S. Copyright Office Directory. Email is the fastest path to a response and meets the requirements of §512(c)(2).

To be effective under §512(c)(3), your notice must include substantially the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or someone authorized to act for them.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, with sufficient information to locate it (URL, paper ID, or comment ID).
4. Your contact information (address, phone, email).
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

Notices missing required elements may be returned as facially deficient. Knowingly material misrepresentation in a DMCA notice may subject the sender to liability under §512(f).

• Within 24 hours of receipt at dmca@paperiswrong.com, an agent triages the notice as valid, facially deficient, or counter-notice candidate.
• Within 72 hours of receipt, the content is either removed, the notice is rejected with a written reason, or a counter-notice flow is opened.
• All correspondence is logged in our legal_actions table, retained for 7 years.

If your content has been removed and you believe the removal was mistaken or misidentified, you may submit a counter-notice under §512(g) including:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material removed and the location at which it appeared before removal.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address, telephone number, and consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware.

We forward valid counter-notices to the original notifier. If no suit is filed within 10 to 14 business days, we restore the content.

Accounts that accrue three valid DMCA strikes within twelve months are terminated. Strikes attached to successfully counter-noticed content do not count. The repeat-infringer record is preserved in the audit log for 7 years.

We track patterns of facially deficient or bad-faith notices. The operator may, in appropriate cases, pursue §512(f) claims against notifiers who knowingly misrepresent. Notice senders are advised to consult counsel before submitting.

Non-copyright complaints (defamation, privacy, trademark) are not DMCA matters. Send those to legal@paperiswrong.com following the pre-suit notice procedure in our Terms and the dispute process in /legal/disputes.
