It is the official policy of Telegraph Today (“TT”) to respect the copyright and intellectual property of others. Consequently, we give channels of redress to individuals who believe that there has been an infringement of the copyright rights of the material uploaded or embedded on our site. In accordance with the terms contained in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), (the text of which may be found in the U.S Copyright Office website at http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf,) TT will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed using the www.TelegraphToday.com (the “Site”) that are reported to TT’s Designated Copyright Agent, identified below. Upon receipt of a complete and valid DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement (“Notice”), as described below, TT will take whatever action, in its sole discretion, it deems appropriate, including removal of the challenged material from the Site. Additionally, in appropriate circumstances and at its discretion, TT may disable, restrict, suspend, and/or terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe or are repeatedly charged with infringing the copyrights or other intellectual property rights of others.

What if I receive a Copyright Complaint (DMCA) notification?

If you receive a DMCA notification, it means that the content described in the notification has been removed from the Site or access to the content has been restricted. Please take the time to read through our notice to you, which includes information on the notification we received as well as instructions on how to file a counter-notice.

How to File a Counter-Notice

Email your counter-notice to [email protected].

Include ALL of the following:

  1. A physical or electronic signature (typing your full name will suffice);
  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 it was removed or access to it was disabled (the description from the DMCA notice will suffice);
  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 of the material to be removed or disabled; and

What Happens After I Submit a Counter-Notice?

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, we will promptly forward a copy to the person who filed the original notice. If we do not receive notice within 10 business days that the original reporter is seeking a court order to prevent further infringement of the material at issue, we may replace or cease disabling access to the material that was removed.
