Counter Notification Requirements

If you receive a DMCA notification of alleged infringement, and you believe in good faith that:

  • The allegedly infringing works were not shared from your devices or were misidentified, or
  • You have authorization from the copyright owner, or
  • Your use of the work constitutes fair use under U.S. copyright law,

You may choose to submit a Counter Notification. In order to be effective, you must submit the Counter Notification in writing and include substantially the following:

  • A physical or electronic signature of the Connect2First subscriber.
  • A description of the material that was removed from the devices, or to which sharing has been disabled.
  • A statement under penalty of perjury that the subscriber has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled because of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled, or that the subscriber’s use was authorized by the copyright owner, or that the subscriber’s use of the work constitutes fair use under U.S. copyright law. If the subscriber is relying upon fair use, then they must provide a written explanation of the basis for fair use.
  • The subscriber's name, address, and telephone number, along with a statement that the subscriber consents to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the address is located.
  • The subscriber must also include a statement that they are willing to accept service of process from the copyright holder or agent of the copyright holder.

The Counter Notification should be sent by mail to:
