Copyright Information
 
This page is to enable copyright owners to alert UsenetBinaries.com as to the existance of their copyrighted material on our internet service.

UsenetBinaries.com is an internet service provider - we do not author or purchase our content, but instead provide a gateway into the Usenet news service, which is a global internet discussion forum. As such, we are required by the Digital Millenium Copyright Act to remove copyrighted material upon request of the copyright owner when explicitly submitted under the terms of that document.

Before proceeding, copyright owners should familiarize themselves with the explicit terms of compliance specified in the Digital Millenium Copyright Act by reading that document. The instructions posted here are not just our policy, but are the requirements we are bound to by the DMCA.

Please do not ask us to make exceptions or circumvent this policy in any way, we are legally bound to it.

Copyright owners should also understand that the content on our site exists on thousands of Usenet newservers throughout the world simultaneously, and that by notifying us of their content, we can only delete the instance on our service. Also, copyright owners are responsible for notifying us if the same content appears on the network again via another source. Finally, we expire every instance of content after a period of time anyways, so you might want to consider identifing the distribution source of your material, rather than the endpoints or ISPs.

Here's how it works:
  1. YOU must be the copyright owner of this material, or a legal proxy of the copyright owner. Otherwise, your requests will be rejected.

  2. Copy and paste the exact URLs from our website where your content is located into an email. This is required by the DMCA, and our automated system will reject emails that do not have URLs to our content pages. Do not send URLs to thumbnail pages, as there are multiple images on these pages and we will not know which are yours.

  3. If your DMCA notice refers to content you discovered via our NNTP service (i.e. via a newsreader), rather than a web image on our web galleries, then you need to provide the following information instead of a URL:

    • Newsgroup
    • Message-id
    • Subject:
    • Date of posting
    • Information sufficient to identify the specific content which is the subject of the complaint

  4. Include a formal statement in your email that you are indeed the copyright owner or legal proxy for the copyright owner.

  5. Include a formal statement in your email that you are certain that the material is not, in fact, authorized by the copyright owner or law.

  6. Digitally sign the email as specified in the DMCA. Our system will validate the digital signature, and invalid digital signatures will be rejected automatically. It is the copyright owner's responsibility to understand the implementation of a digitally signed email.

  7. Do not include other correspondance in the email, it is processed by an automated program.

  8. Include a formal statement that the you understand the legal implications of providing false information in this request, and that all information is accurate.

  9. Send the email to the address below. Copyright requests to other email addresses will not be processed.
