## What does «What a notice must contain» govern?

Identification of the work, the exact address of the material you say infringes it, your contact details, a statement that you believe in good faith the use is unauthorised, a statement that the information is accurate, and your signature. A notice missing any of these cannot be acted on. Send it through the contact page marked as a copyright notice. Deliberately false notices

carry consequences for whoever sends them.

## What does «What happens next» govern?

We take down material that is plainly infringing and tell you what we did. Where the position is arguable we ask the publisher of the material for a response first, which usually resolves it faster than a formal process. If you are the publisher and believe a takedown was wrong, send a counter-notice with the same completeness and we restore the material unless the complainant

goes to court.

## What does «What is not a copyright matter» govern?

An intimate image of you published without consent is not primarily a copyright problem, even though copyright is sometimes the fastest lever. The route for that is the reporting form and StopNCII.org, and under Canadian law section 162.1 of the Criminal Code applies to distribution without consent.
