Macaw World News upholds the intellectual property rights of others and compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) to protect creators from online theft.
Our policy details procedures for addressing alleged copyright infringement and submitting DMCA notices effectively to relevant authorities by individuals. Believing your copyrighted work got infringed upon by content here necessitates following a certain process below, notifying us forthwith, preferably.
The law specifically goes after sites whose owners have no knowledge as to who authored each individual component or where the site serves as a host for content upload and publication.
We have the policy to respond to any infringement notice and take appropriate action.
This Digital Millennium Copyright Act policy applies to the Macaw World News website (“Website” or “Service”) and any of its related products and services (collectively, “Services”) and outlines how this Website operator (“Operator,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) addresses copyright infringement notifications and how you (“you” or “your”) may submit a copyright infringement complaint.
Protection of intellectual property is of utmost importance to us, and we ask our users and their authorized agents to do the same. It is our policy to expeditiously respond to clear notifications of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) of 1998, the text of which can be found at the U.S. Copyright Office website.
What to consider before submitting a copyright complaint
Please note that if you are unsure whether the material you are reporting is in fact, infringing, you may wish to contact an attorney before filing a notification with us.
The DMCA requires you to provide your personal information in the copyright infringement notification. If you are concerned about the privacy of your personal information.
Notifications of infringement
If You are the copyright owner of Content which appears on the Service and you did not authorize the use of the Content you must notify White Label Services in writing for us to identify the allegedly infringing Content and take action, including the removal or modification of such Content.
Filing a DMCA complaint is the start of a predefined legal process. Your complaint will be reviewed for accuracy, validity, and completeness. If your complaint has satisfied these requirements, our response may include the removal or restriction of access to allegedly infringing material.
Please identify the copyrighted work or works that, in your view, have been infringed, and if a single notice encompasses multiple works, provide a corresponding list of all such works.
Identify the infringing content located on our site, supplying enough detail for us to find the material, including the effective URL of the challenged content.
If we either remove or limit access to the material or terminate a user account in compliance with a notice of claimed infringement, we will, as a sincere effort, attempt to notify the user whose content is implicated, offering relevant information about the removal or restriction.
Notwithstanding any contradictory language within this Policy, the Operator retains the discretion to forgo any response upon receipt of a notice under the DMCA if the notice fails to fulfill all statutory requisites under that law.
Nothing contained in this Policy limits our right to take any other action that we deem necessary to protect our interests in any suspected infringement.
The notice must include your full legal name, address, daytime telephone number, and a valid email address, along with any statement or other content that you believe is infringing and/or the basis for any other objection, as well as the related reference or reference(s) containing such statement or other content.
