DMCA Policy

At 2048-cup-cakes.com, we respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect users, contributors, and visitors to do the same. This DMCA Policy explains how we respond to copyright complaints under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), including how copyright owners can submit takedown notices and how affected users may send counter-notices.

Section 512 of Title 17 of the U.S. Code provides “safe harbor” protections for qualifying online service providers when they cooperate with copyright owners and act expeditiously to remove or disable access to allegedly infringing material after receiving a proper notice. The U.S. Copyright Office explains that this notice-and-takedown system is a central part of how those protections work.

By using this website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this DMCA Policy.

1. Purpose of This Policy

This policy is intended to explain:

  • how to notify us of allegedly infringing content
  • what information must be included in a valid DMCA notice
  • how users may dispute a removal through a counter-notice
  • how we handle repeat infringement concerns
  • how we address incomplete, abusive, or misleading copyright complaints

This page applies specifically to copyright-related complaints. If your concern involves trademarks, impersonation, privacy, defamation, or another legal issue, you may still contact us, but that type of complaint may not be handled under the DMCA process.

DMCA Takedown Notice

3. Filing a DMCA Takedown Notice

The U.S. Copyright Office states that, for a notice to be effective, it must contain substantially certain required elements. These include a signature, identification of the copyrighted work, identification of the allegedly infringing material with enough information to locate it, contact information, a good-faith statement, and a statement under penalty of perjury that the notice is accurate and that the sender is authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Your DMCA notice should include all of the following:

A. Your signature

A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on the owner’s behalf. A typed full legal name may be acceptable in an emailed submission.

B. Identification of the copyrighted work

A clear description of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed. If multiple copyrighted works are involved on one site, you may provide a representative list rather than listing every work individually. The Copyright Office notes this is permitted when multiple works are involved on a single site.

C. Identification of the allegedly infringing material

You must identify the specific material you want removed or disabled and provide information reasonably sufficient for us to locate it. This usually means giving the exact URL or URLs where the material appears. The Copyright Office specifically notes that enough information must be provided for the provider to locate the material.

D. Your contact information

Please include:

  • your full name
  • mailing address
  • phone number
  • email address

E. Good-faith statement

You must state that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.

F. Accuracy and authority statement under penalty of perjury

You must state that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf.

4. Example Notice Language

You may use wording similar to the following in your notice:

I have a good-faith belief that the use of the copyrighted material described above is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.

I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in this notice is accurate and that I am the copyright owner or am authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

5. What We May Do After Receiving a Notice

If we receive a takedown notice that appears substantially compliant, we may:

  • review the complaint for completeness
  • assess whether the material identified can be located
  • remove or disable access to the material
  • notify the user or contributor associated with the material, where applicable
  • keep records of the notice for legal, operational, and repeat-infringement purposes

The Copyright Office explains that once a provider receives a compliant notice, it must act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material and then promptly notify the user who posted it.

We reserve the right to request additional information if a complaint is unclear, incomplete, or difficult to verify.

6. Misrepresentations in Notices

The Copyright Office warns that knowingly making a material misrepresentation in a takedown notice can create liability for damages, costs, and attorneys’ fees incurred by the user and/or the online service provider.

For that reason, you should not file a DMCA notice unless you genuinely believe that:

  • you own the relevant copyright or are authorized to act for the owner
  • the use is infringing
  • the material you identified is the correct material
  • your complaint is truthful and accurate

False, abusive, reckless, or bad-faith claims may be rejected.

7. Counter-Notice Procedure

If you believe material you posted or submitted was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice.

The U.S. Copyright Office explains that a valid counter-notice must contain substantially the following: the user’s signature, identification of the material removed and where it appeared before removal, a good-faith statement under penalty of perjury that the material was removed by mistake or misidentification, and the user’s name, address, and telephone number, together with consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate Federal District Court and acceptance of service of process from the complaining party.

Your counter-notice should include:

A. Your signature

A physical or electronic signature.

B. Identification of the removed material

A description of the material that was removed or disabled, plus the exact location where it appeared before removal.

C. Good-faith statement under penalty of perjury

A statement that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled because of mistake or misidentification.

D. Your contact information

Please include:

  • your full name
  • mailing address
  • phone number
  • email address

E. Consent to jurisdiction and service

You must state that you consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate Federal District Court and that you will accept service of process from the original complaining party or that party’s agent. The Copyright Office notes this is one of the required components of a valid counter-notice.

Please send counter-notices to:

admin@2048-cup-cakes.com

Use the subject line:

DMCA Counter-Notice

8. What Happens After a Counter-Notice

Under Section 512, if a provider receives a valid counter-notice, the material is generally restored not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days later unless the provider first receives notice that the original complaining party has filed a court action seeking to restrain the allegedly infringing activity.

If we receive a substantially valid counter-notice, we may:

  • forward it to the original complainant
  • wait the legally relevant period
  • restore the material if we do not receive notice of a filed court action within that period

The Copyright Office and the statutory text both indicate that the general restoration window is 10 to 14 business days after receipt of the counter-notice, unless legal action is filed and notice of that action is provided.

9. Repeat Infringer Policy

We reserve the right to take appropriate action against users or contributors who are the subject of repeated, valid copyright complaints.

That action may include:

  • removal of submitted material
  • suspension of posting privileges
  • restrictions on user participation
  • permanent limitation of access to certain site functions
  • refusal of future submissions

We evaluate repeat infringement concerns case by case, based on the number, nature, and credibility of complaints received.

10. Fair Use and Good-Faith Review

Not every use of copyrighted material is necessarily infringing. Some uses may qualify as fair use under U.S. copyright law. Even so, InternetChicks is not a court, and 2048 Cup Cakes is not a court either; our role in this process is administrative and practical. We review complaints in good faith, but we do not make final legal determinations about copyright ownership or infringement.

If you are unsure whether your complaint involves infringement or fair use, you may wish to consult qualified legal counsel before filing a DMCA notice.

11. Incomplete or Invalid Notices

We may not act on notices that are:

  • missing required elements
  • vague or impossible to locate
  • not clearly connected to a copyrighted work
  • sent by someone without apparent authority
  • focused on issues outside copyright law
  • abusive, repetitive, or clearly unsupported

If needed, we may reply requesting clarification, though we are not obligated to do so before acting on a facially valid notice.

12. Good-Faith Compliance

The U.S. Copyright Office explains that safe-harbor protections are tied to cooperation with copyright owners and expeditious removal of allegedly infringing material after compliant notice.

Accordingly, 2048 Cup Cakes intends to handle copyright complaints in good faith, with reasonable administrative care, and in a manner consistent with applicable U.S. law.

13. Policy Changes

We may update this DMCA Policy from time to time to reflect changes in law, platform operations, internal workflow, or content management practices.

When updates are made, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of the website after an update is posted means you accept the revised policy.
