3. What to Consider Before Filing a Complaint

3.1 Important Considerations

Before submitting a copyright complaint, please carefully consider the following:

3.2 Seek Legal Advice

If you are unsure whether the material you are reporting is actually infringing, we strongly recommend consulting with an attorney before filing a complaint. Filing a false DMCA notice can have legal consequences.

3.3 Privacy Concerns

The DMCA requires you to provide your personal information in the infringement notice. If you are concerned about privacy, you may:

• Hire an agent to submit the complaint on your behalf
• Use a business address instead of a home address
• Consult with a legal professional about privacy options

3.4 Good Faith Requirement

You must have a good faith belief that:

• The use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner
• The use is not authorized by the copyright owner’s agent
• The use is not permitted by law

4. Understanding Fair Use

4.1 What is Fair Use?

Fair use is a legal doctrine that allows limited use of copyrighted material without permission from or payment to the copyright owner. Fair use is intended to balance the rights of copyright holders with the public’s interest in free expression and access to information.

4.2 Fair Use Factors

Courts consider four factors when determining fair use:

4.3 Common Fair Use Examples

Fair use may apply to:

• Criticism and commentary – Brief excerpts for review or analysis
• News reporting – Limited use for reporting current events
• Teaching – Educational use in classroom settings
• Research – Scholarly research and analysis
• Parody – Transformative satirical works

4.4 Fair Use is NOT Automatic

⚠️ Important: Fair use is determined on a case-by-case basis. Simply adding a disclaimer like “no copyright infringement intended” does NOT automatically make something fair use.

5. Copyright Infringement Notifications

5.1 Who Can File a Notification?

A copyright infringement notification may be filed by:
