DMCA policy

Blip's registration of a designated agent with the US Copyright Office is pending. Until it's listed here, send notices with the form below. We act on them the same way.

A notice needs:

1. the copyrighted work you say is infringed;
2. where the material is on Blip (its link), in enough detail for us to find it;
3. your name, postal address, email and, if you like, phone;
4. a statement that you have a good faith belief the use isn't authorised by the owner, its agent or the law;
5. a statement that the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you're the owner or authorised to act for them;
6. your physical or electronic signature.

We email you a receipt. If the notice is complete, we remove or disable the material promptly, keep a record of it, and tell the person who posted it, with a copy of the notice (your contact details included, as the law intends) and how to send a counter-notice.

If your Blip was removed by mistake or misidentification, you can send a counter-notice by email to legal@sendablip.com. It needs:

1. the material that was removed and where it was;
2. a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief it was removed by mistake or misidentification;
3. your name, address and phone, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, outside the US, any district where Blip may be found), and will accept service from the person who sent the notice;
4. your physical or electronic signature.

We send it to the person who sent the notice. Unless they tell us within 10 business days that they've filed a court action, we put the material back 10 to 14 business days after we received the counter-notice.

We close the accounts of repeat infringers. An account with three valid notices in twelve months that weren't successfully countered is closed, and the email can't be used to sign up again. A serious case can be closed sooner.

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly misrepresents that material is infringing, or that it was removed by mistake, can be liable for damages. If you're not sure, ask a lawyer first. Consider whether the use might be fair use.
