What is a 512Takedown ?

"512Takedown" notices are sent by individuals or organizations (or their representatives)
to Internet Service Providers (ISPs), asking them to remove material or links to materials
that the notice claims are infringements of copyright.

For more information about copyright and intellectual property visit

go here information regarding Copyright Disclaimers

It refers to section 512 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) providing the ISP
with a "safe harbor" i.e. temporary immunity from secondary liability for copyright infringement
if they expeditiously remove the material in question.

Resolution of any dispute can then be taken to the
Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN)
under their Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP)
whereupon a schedule statutory and actual damages will be prepared.

Statutory damages can range from $200 per infringement (for what is considered an 'innocent' infringment)
to $750-$30000 for an ordinary infringement, to $150000.00 for a 'willful' infringement.

Actual damages cover the losses incurred by the plaintiff, including costs of litigation and lost profits.

Additional litigation may then be undertaken to cover compensatory damages and punitive damages.

You can complete the below online form if you have received notification of a pending 512Takedown
