DMCA
This fan site is built around one game and a catalog of related titles, and we want every piece of it to be there with the right to be there. If something published on teachmylittlesisterhowtodrivegame.com (the “Site”) uses work that belongs to you without permission, this page tells you how to reach us, what to include so we can act quickly, and how the process works for anyone whose material is taken down. Our procedure follows the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, codified at 17 U.S.C. § 512.
A large part of our catalog consists of games embedded from outside providers rather than files we host ourselves. If your complaint concerns one of those games, writing to the provider as well may lead to a faster result at the source. Either way, we respond to complete notices about anything that appears on our pages.
How to Report Infringing Material
Send your report to [email protected] and put “DMCA Notice” in the subject line so it reaches the right queue. For us to process it, the message needs the following:
- Identification of the original work you say has been copied. If several works are involved, a representative list is enough.
- The address of each page on the Site where the disputed material can be found, described clearly enough for us to locate it.
- How we can reach you: your full name, postal address, phone number and email.
- A sentence confirming that you believe in good faith that the owner, the owner’s agent or the law has not authorized the use in question.
- A sentence, made under penalty of perjury, confirming that the details in your report are accurate and that you own the rights or are allowed to act for the person who does.
- A handwritten or electronic signature from the owner or from someone entitled to act for them.
If something on this list is missing, we may write back and ask for it before taking further steps. Keep in mind that the law is strict about honesty here: under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), a person who knowingly misstates facts in a notice or a counter-notice can be held responsible for the resulting damages.
Our Response to a Complete Notice
Once a report contains everything above, we look into it and, if it is justified, take the material down or block access to it without unnecessary delay. When the content came from a visitor – a comment or a review, for example – we will try to inform that person that it has been removed and that they can dispute the decision.
Disputing a Removal
If something you posted was taken down and you are convinced this was an error or a case of mistaken identity, you can contest it by writing to the same address with “DMCA Counter-Notice” in the subject line. Please include:
- A description of the removed material and the address where it was published before it came down.
- A sentence, made under penalty of perjury, stating your good-faith belief that it was removed by mistake or because it was misidentified.
- Your full name, postal address and phone number.
- Your agreement to the jurisdiction of the U.S. federal district court covering your address – or, if you live outside the United States, any judicial district where the Site may be found – and your agreement to accept legal papers from the person who sent the original notice or their representative.
- Your handwritten or electronic signature.
When a counter-notice meets these requirements, the material may be put back online within 10 to 14 business days, unless the person who filed the original notice tells us in the meantime that they have gone to court to stop the activity.
Accounts That Infringe Repeatedly
In appropriate circumstances, we limit or remove the ability to contribute content for anyone who infringes the rights of others more than once.
The information on this page is general and is not legal advice. If you are not sure whether a particular use crosses the line, it is worth speaking to a lawyer before you file a notice.
