DMCA (Copyright) Policy for [www.kannadareader.in]

1. Introduction
[Kannada Reader] (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects our users to do the same. It is our policy to respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), the text of which can be found at the U.S. Copyright Office website: https://www.copyright.gov/dmca/.

This policy describes how we handle claims of copyright infringement and how you may submit a takedown notice or a counter-notice. Upon receipt of a compliant notice, we will take action as we deem appropriate, which may include removing or disabling access to the allegedly infringing material.

2. Who Needs This Policy?
This policy is in place because our website may allow users to post comments, share links, or upload other forms of user-generated content. The DMCA provides a “safe harbor” for service providers like us, protecting us from liability for copyright infringement by our users, provided we meet certain requirements, including having a policy like this one.

3. How to Submit a DMCA Takedown Notice
If you are a copyright owner or an agent and believe that any content on [www.kannadareader.in] infringes your copyrights, you may submit a notification by providing our Designated Copyright Agent (listed below) with the following information in writing:

  • A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
  • Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple works are covered, a representative list.
  • Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (e.g., the specific URL where it appears).
  • Your contact information, including address, telephone number, and an email address.
  • A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  • A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

4. How to Submit a Counter-Notice
If you believe that your content was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification, you may send us a counter-notice. To be effective, your counter-notice must be in writing to our Designated Copyright Agent and include:

  • Your physical or electronic signature.
  • Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal.
  • A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  • Your name, address, telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate court.

If we receive a valid counter-notice, we may forward it to the party who submitted the original takedown notice. The removed content may be replaced or access restored in 10-14 business days unless our Copyright Agent receives notice that the original claimant has filed a legal action relating to the material.

5. Designated Copyright Agent
Please submit all takedown notices and counter-notices to our Designated Copyright Agent at the following address. Using the email subject line “DMCA Notice” or “DMCA Counter-Notice” will help expedite processing.

6. Policy on Repeat Infringers
