Counter-notification
If your content was removed because of a notice and you believe it was a mistake or misidentification, you can send a counter-notification to the same address. It must include your physical or electronic signature; identification of the material removed and where it appeared; a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification; and your name, address and telephone number, with a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, if you're outside the US, any judicial district in which Instatus may be found) and will accept service of process from the person who made the original notice. We may restore the material unless the original complainant tells us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action.
Repeat infringers
We close the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe copyright, in appropriate circumstances.
