The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the "DMCA") provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If a User believes in good faith that materials hosted by ElectroStub infringes his or her copyright, such User (or such User’s agent) may send ElectroStub a notice requesting that the material be removed, or access to it blocked. The notice must include the following information: (a) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or if multiple copyrighted works located on the Site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works); (c) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to allow ElectroStub to locate the material on the Site; (d) the name, address, telephone number and email address (if available) of the complaining party; (e) 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; and (f) 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. Additionally, if a User believes in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed by ElectroStub against such User, the DMCA permits the User to send ElectroStub a counter-notice.
Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see http://www.loc.gov/copyright/ for details. Notices and counter-notices with respect to the Site should be sent to TicketMob LLC Attn: Customer Service, 11833 Mississippi Avenue, Suite 201, Los Angeles, California 90025, Main: (800) 927-0939, Fax: (800) 807-3109, or email us at customerservice@ticketmob.com. ElectroStub suggests that a User consults his or her legal advisor before filing a notice or counter-notice. Also, all Users should be aware that there can be penalties for false claims under the DMCA.
