DMCA

Cresset respects copyright. If you believe your work is being infringed by content posted on Cresset, you can send a takedown notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. §512). If your content was removed and you believe the takedown was wrong, you can file a counter-notice.

Designated agent

Send DMCA notices and counter-notices to our registered designated agent. We're 707 Labs LLC, operator of Cresset.

• Email: dmca@cresset.app
• Postal address: 707 Labs LLC, Attn: DMCA Agent — see the U.S. Copyright Office Designated Agent directory for the address on file.

Email is the fastest path; postal works too. We register our designated agent with the Copyright Office as required by §512(c)(2).

What a takedown notice must contain

Per 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3), an effective notice must include all of:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or someone authorized to act on their behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, if multiple works are covered by a single notice, a representative list).
3. Identification of the material claimed to be infringing, with enough information for us to locate it — for Cresset that's the full URL of the post or comment.
4. Your contact information: name, address, telephone number, and email.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Notices missing any of these may be invalid. We'll usually tell you what's missing so you can refile.

What happens after we receive a valid notice

We'll remove or disable access to the identified material expeditiously and let the user who posted it know what was removed and why, including a copy of the notice. The user may file a counter-notice (below).

Counter-notice

Per §512(g), an effective counter-notice must include all of:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed and the location at which it appeared before removal.
3. A statement, made 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. Your name, address, and phone 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 your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which Cresset's service provider may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice or their agent.

On receipt of a valid counter-notice, we forward it to the original complainant. If they don't file a court action seeking a restraining order against the user within 10–14 business days, we restore the material.

Repeat-infringer policy

Per §512(i), we terminate the accounts of users who are repeat copyright infringers. What counts is judgement-based: multiple unrelated, valid takedowns over time signal a pattern.

Misrepresentation

Filing a takedown notice or counter-notice that contains material misrepresentations is itself a violation of §512(f) and can subject you to damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. File responsibly.
