Copyright Complaint Guidelines 

Blogger respects the rights of copyright holders and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and other applicable copyright laws. When we receive proper notice as required by the DMCA, we will work to promptly remove content that has been identified as copyright infringement. Repeat infringers' blogs are removed, and in appropriate instances Blogger accounts will be terminated. To learn more about the DMCA and how to file a DMCA notice with us, please go here.

Examples of Copyrighted Work

In general, any original work of authorship may be protected by copyright. Copyrighted materials may be subject to claims of copyright infringement. The most common reason we take down content from blogs for copyright infringement is that they have republished unauthorized copies of copyrighted content, and the owners of the copyrighted content have alerted us that their content is being used without their permission. Once we become aware of an unauthorized use, we will remove the content promptly. See http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ1.html for more information about U.S. copyright law.

Some examples of potentially infringing content are:

• Literary works, including articles and passages of text
• Images and photographs
• Music files and MP3s
• Movies, movie trailers and videos
• Pirated software

Consequences of Uploading Copyrighted Material

Anytime Blogger is properly notified that a blog or any part of a blog on our site infringes the copyrights of a third party, we will take it down from the site as required by law. If you believe that a blog infringes your copyright, please send us a copyright notice and we'll take it down. If you believe we've removed content from your blog in error and that you are the copyright owner or have permission, you can file a counter notice and let us know. Accounts determined to be repeat infringers may be subject to termination.
