FileSwap.com : DMCA Policy
Fileswap.com ("Fileswap") implements the following DMCA Notice and Takedown Policy. Fileswap respects the intellectual property rights of third parties, and expects others to do the same. As part of our effort to recognize the copyrights of third parties, Fileswap complies with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") and is therefore protected by the limitations on liability recognized by 47 U.S.C. § 512; commonly known as the "safe harbor" provisions of the DMCA. Fileswap's infringement notification procedure, counter notification procedure, and takedown policies, are set forth below.
The DMCA permits copyright owners, or their authorized agents, to submit notifications to service providers, such as Fileswap, requesting that infringing material hosted on Fileswap's servers be disabled or removed. Importantly, the DMCA imposes significant penalties - including court costs and attorneys fees - on those who abuse the infringement notification procedure, by misrepresenting either that material is infringing, or was removed by mistake. See; HYPERLINK "http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/uscode/17/5/512" 47 U.S.C. § 512(f). Fileswap will pursue those who abuse its DMCA notice or counter-notification procedure, and will cooperate with law enforcement in any investigation of such abuse. Please make sure that you meet all the qualifications before submitting a DMCA notice to our Designated Agent identified below.
If you believe that your work has been copied, reproduced, altered or published in a way that constitutes copyright infringement under federal law, or your copyrights have been otherwise violated, please submit a DMCA notice to Fileswap's Designated Copyright Agent, containing the following:
a description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on Fileswap's servers (preferably including specific url's associated with the material);

The procedure for notifying Fileswap of claimed copyright infringement is set forth in Section II(B), hereof. If the DMCA notice does not comply with §512 of the DMCA, but does substantially comply with the (3) three requirements for identifying infringing works according to §512 of the DMCA, Fileswap shall attempt to contact or take other reasonable steps to reach the complaining party to assist that party comply with sending a compliant DMCA Notice. As noted above, when Fileswap's Designated Agent receives a valid notice, Fileswap will act expeditiously to remove and/or disable access to the infringing material and shall notify the affected customer or subscriber.
