Copyright, handled by the book.

Our designated agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement is:

Verdict Systems Inc.
Attn: DMCA Designated Agent
Houston, Texas, USA
Email: dmca@verdict.systems
Phone: available on request through the DMCA email above.

A valid notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)(A) must include all of the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, for multiple works at a single site, a representative list).
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed, with information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (URL, evidence batch ID, or other locator).
4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you: address, telephone number, and email.
5. A statement that you have 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.
6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Send the notice to dmca@verdict.systems. Notices that omit any required element may not be acted on.

On receipt of a notice that substantially complies with § 512(c)(3)(A), we will:

• Acknowledge receipt within five business days.
• Remove or disable access to the identified material expeditiously.
• Take reasonable steps to notify the user who posted or controls the material that we have removed or disabled access.
• Track the notice in our enforcement record for purposes of the repeat-infringer policy (§ 5).

If you believe material was removed or disabled in error or as a result of misidentification, you may send a counter-notification that includes all of the following:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which the material appeared before removal or disabling.
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, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if outside the United States, for any judicial district in which Verdict may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notice or that person's agent.

Send the counter-notification to dmca@verdict.systems. On receipt of a substantially compliant counter-notification, we will forward it to the original notice-sender and inform them that we will restore the material in 10–14 business days unless we receive notice that the sender has filed suit seeking a court order to restrain the activity.

We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers. We treat a user who is the subject of three substantially compliant takedown notices in a 12-month period (none successfully counter-noticed) as a repeat infringer, unless the circumstances clearly indicate otherwise.
