DMCA Policy

The DMCA

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) provides a legal framework for copyright holders to request the removal of content they believe infringes on their copyright. For more information about the DMCA, please visit the U.S. Copyright Office’s official website.

 

AboveTheBusiness.com, operated by Above the Business LLC, respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. We are committed to responding promptly to copyright infringement notices and to taking appropriate action under the DMCA and other applicable intellectual property laws.

 

Accurate Information

Under the DMCA, you must swear to the facts in your notice of infringement under penalty of perjury. Submitting false information could lead to civil and criminal penalties.

 

Investigate Before Filing

We urge copyright owners to consider whether the use of the material in question is possibly permissible before submitting a takedown request. Direct communication with the content creator can often resolve misunderstandings more efficiently than a formal takedown process.

 

No Automated Bots

Takedown requests must be carefully evaluated by a person. Automated submissions are not accepted due to their propensity for error and potential to unjustly remove content.

 

Counter Notices

Users affected by a takedown notice may file a counter notice. If a counter notice is received, AboveTheBusiness.com may restore the content within 14 days, barring any legal action initiated by the filing party.
