DMCA Copyright Policy

DRAFT — requires attorney review. Last updated: 2026-04-16.

DRAFT notice. Gluecron is in pre-launch. This DMCA Policy has not yet been reviewed by counsel.

1. Notice-and-takedown procedure

Gluecron respects the intellectual-property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), 17 U.S.C. § 512, we will respond expeditiously to properly-formed notices of alleged copyright infringement submitted by the copyright owner or their authorized agent.

2. Designated agent

Interim-period notice. We intend to register a DMCA designated agent with the U.S. Copyright Office prior to operating as a paid hosting provider. Until that registration is complete, please send DMCA notices to dmca@gluecron.com (placeholder). Safe-harbor protection under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c) is not assured during this interim period. We will nonetheless process properly-formed notices in good faith. DRAFT — requires attorney review.

3. Required notice elements (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3))

A valid DMCA notice must include all of the following:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered, a representative list of such works.
  3. Identification of the material claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (e.g., a URL on Gluecron, repository owner and name, commit SHA, file path).
  4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact the complaining party, including name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
  5. A statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Notices missing any of these elements may be invalid and we may decline to act on them.

4. Counter-notice procedure (17 U.S.C. § 512(g))

If you believe material you posted was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to dmca@gluecron.com (placeholder) containing the following:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the material that was removed or disabled, and the location at which the material appeared before removal.
  3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  4. Your name, address, telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if your address is outside the U.S., any district in which Gluecron may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notice or an agent of that person.

We may restore the material in not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days following receipt of a valid counter-notice, unless the complaining party notifies us that they have filed an action seeking a court order to restrain you from further infringement.

5. Repeat-infringer policy

In accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), we have adopted a policy of terminating accounts, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, of users who are determined to be repeat infringers. We consider three or more valid takedown notices within any 12-month period sufficient to trigger a repeat-infringer review, though we reserve the right to terminate at any threshold based on the severity and nature of the infringement.

6. Good-faith requirement and misrepresentation

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents (a) that material or activity is infringing, or (b) that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, shall be liable for any damages — including costs and attorneys' fees — incurred by the alleged infringer, the copyright owner, or by Gluecron. Please do not submit false claims.
