Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Policy

Last Updated June 26, 2024

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a United States copyright law that provides protection for copyright holders against the unauthorized use of their works on the internet. At KRKB, we respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect our users to do the same.

Reporting Copyright Infringement

If you believe that your copyright-protected work has been copied and is accessible on the KRKB website in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, you may notify us by providing our Designated Agent with the following information in writing:

1. Signature: A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
2. Identification of Work: A description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed.
3. Identification of Material: A description of where the infringing material is located on the KRKB website (e.g., a specific URL).
4. Contact Information: Your address, telephone number, and email address.
5. Statement of Good Faith: A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted work in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. Statement of Accuracy: A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

Counter-Notification

If you believe that your content has been removed from the KRKB website in error, you may file a counter-notice by providing the following information:

1. Signature: Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification: A description of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before it was removed.
3. Statement of Good Faith: 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.
4. Contact & Consent: Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or if outside the U.S., any judicial district in which KRKB may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notification.

Repeat Infringers

Please note that it is our policy to terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.

Liability for Misrepresentation

Please note that under the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing, or that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be subject to liability.

Guidelines for Users

• Only post content you own: Ensure you have the necessary rights to post any text, images, or videos.
• Credit appropriately: If you reference others' work under fair use, provide proper credit.
• Report violations: If you spot infringing content, use our reporting tools rather than engaging directly.
