Filing a DMCA takedown notice

Your written notice must include all of the following, as required by 17 U.S.C. Section 512(c)(3):

A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed or, if multiple works are covered by a single notice, a representative list of those works.
Identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate it, such as the HeyRuby series title, episode number, URL, or screenshots.
Your contact information, including your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
A statement that you have 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.
A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright allegedly infringed.

If your notice does not include all of these elements, we may ask you to supplement it, and it may not be effective under the DMCA until complete. Upon receipt of a valid notice, we will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material, notify the user who posted it, and provide that user a copy of the notice.

Counter-notice procedure

If your content was removed or disabled and you believe this was the result of mistake or misidentification, you may send a written counter-notice to our designated agent that includes all of the following, as described in 17 U.S.C. Section 512(g)(3):

Your physical or electronic signature.
Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location where it appeared before removal.
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.
Your name, mailing address, and telephone number.
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 outside the United States, the federal district courts in which Real Games may be found) and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notice or that person's agent.

After we receive a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the party who submitted the original takedown notice. If that party does not notify us within 10 to 14 business days that it has filed a court action seeking to restrain the allegedly infringing activity, we may restore the removed material.

Repeat infringers

We maintain and enforce a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users and creators who are repeat infringers. We track takedown notices and strikes against accounts. Accounts that accumulate repeated valid infringement claims, or that we determine are engaged in willful or large-scale infringement, will be terminated, and associated creator monetization may be withheld or reversed as permitted by our Terms of Service and the Creator Agreement. We may also terminate accounts after a single incident of egregious infringement.

Misrepresentation

Under 17 U.S.C. Section 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. Please do not submit false or bad-faith notices or counter-notices.
