[email protected]

Designated contact for copyright notices. Include the article URL when writing about a specific story.

02 · A valid notice

What to include.

To be actionable, a notice should include:

  • Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed.
  • Identification of the material on our site claimed to be infringing, with the URL.
  • Your name, address, and email so we can reach you.
  • A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized.
  • A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and you are authorized to act.
  • Your physical or electronic signature.

03 · Counter-notice

If you believe we removed too much.

If material of yours was removed in error, you may send a counter-notice with the same contact details: identification of the removed material, a good-faith statement, and your consent to jurisdiction.

04 · Good faith

The standard we hold.

We act on valid notices promptly and in good faith. Misuse of the takedown process — knowingly false claims — is itself unlawful.
