DMCA Policy

"Greek Potatoes" is committed to respecting the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. This policy is designed to comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and provides a mechanism for copyright holders to notify us of alleged infringement, as well as a process for users to submit counter-notifications if they believe their content was removed in error.

It is our policy to respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the DMCA. If we receive a valid DMCA notification, we will remove or disable access to the infringing material. We also reserve the right to terminate accounts of users who are repeat infringers.

Filing a Notice of Copyright Infringement

If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and believe that any content hosted on "Greek Potatoes" infringes upon your copyrights, you may submit a notification pursuant to the DMCA by providing our Copyright Agent with the following information in writing (see 17 U.S.C. 512(c)(3) for further detail):

  1. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site.
  2. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit "Greek Potatoes" to locate the material.
  3. A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  4. 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 copyright owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
  5. The complaining party's physical or electronic signature.
  6. Information reasonably sufficient to permit "Greek Potatoes" to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted.

Filing a Counter-Notification

If you believe that your content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or pursuant to the law, to post and use the material, you may send a counter-notification containing the following information to our Copyright Agent:

  • Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled.
  • A statement under penalty of perjury that the subscriber has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.
  • The subscriber's name, address, and telephone number.
  • A statement that the subscriber consents to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the address is located, or if the subscriber's address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which "Greek Potatoes" may be found, and that the subscriber will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notification or an agent of such person.
  • The subscriber's physical or electronic signature.

If a counter-notification is received by our Copyright Agent, "Greek Potatoes" may send a copy of the counter-notification to the original complaining party informing that person that it may replace the removed material or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, member or user, the removed material may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notification, at our sole discretion.
