TIS.xxx
DMCA Repeat Infringer Policy
Last Revised March 15, 2016
TIS.xxx (the “Website”) complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), which gives the Website a safe harbor for liability related to the alleged copyright infringement by its users. The Website keeps a log of DMCA notices received from copyright holders (the “DMCA Log”). Through the DMCA Log and other data, the Website engages in a good faith effort to identify users who may be engaging in repeated acts of copyright infringement.
In accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), the Website hereby adopts the following policy (the “Policy”) of terminating repeat copyright infringers:
- We will terminate a user’s account in accordance with this Policy if that user engages in “repeat infringement.”
- "Repeat infringement” means two separate DMCA notices alleging copyright infringement by the same user within any 12-month period.
- “DMCA notice” means a notice received by the Website’s Copyright Agent that substantially complies with 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3). A DMCA notice that identifies one or more allegedly infringing works will be treated as a single DMCA notice for purposes of this Policy. Users whose content is restored as a result of a counter-notice will not have the original DMCA notice counted as a “strike” against them for repeat infringer purposes.
- “Separate” means an individual written DMCA notice, sent on a different calendar day from any other DMCA notice included in the repeat infringement calculation.
We may amend this Policy on one or more occasions.
