Notice and Takedown ProcedureIt is our policy to expeditiously respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). This page describes the information that should be present in these notices. It is designed to make submitting notices of alleged infringement to BroadwayWorld.com (BWW) as straightforward as possible while reducing the number of notices that we receive that are fraudulent or difficult to understand or verify. The form of notice specified below is consistent with the form suggested by BWW (the text of which can be found at the U.S. Copyright Office Web Site, http://www.copyright.gov), but we will respond to notices of this form from other jurisdictions as well.It is expected that all users of any part BWW site will comply with applicable copyright laws. However, if BWW receives proper notification of claimed copyright infringement, our response to these notices will include removing or disabling access to material claimed to be the subject of infringing activity and/or terminating subscribers, regardless of whether we may be liable for such infringement under United States law or the laws of another jurisdiction. If we remove or disable access in response to such a notice, we will make a good-faith attempt to contact the owner or administrator of the affected site or content so that they may make a counter notification pursuant to Sections 512(g)(2) and (3) of BWW. We may also document notices of alleged infringement on which we act. Designated Agent BWW Designated Agent to receive notification of alleged infringement under the BWW is: Robert Diamond
Upon receipt of proper notification of claimed infringement, BWW will follow the procedures outlined herein and in the DMCA.
Please note that you may be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys' fees) if you materially misrepresent that material is infringing your copyrights. Accordingly, if you are not sure whether material available online infringes your copyright, we suggest that you first contact an attorney.
Upon receipt of such counter notification, BWW will promptly provide the person who provided the original infringement notification with a copy of the counter notification, and inform that person that BWW will replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it in 10 business days. BWW will replace the removed material and cease disabling access to it not less than 10, nor more than 14, business days following receipt of the counter notice, unless our Designated Agent first receives notice from the person who submitted the original infringement notification that such person has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the subscriber from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on our system or network. |
