AV Club is committed to handling copyright complaints responsibly and in accordance with applicable laws, including international treaties and the laws of the various countries in which Paste offers its services.

In circumstances where the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) is applicable, it is our policy to promptly remove content that is the subject of a properly drafted Section 512© notice. We have listed the elements of a DMCA notice below and have also prepared some sample language to help you draft a proper DMCA notice. We will forward your notice to the person who submitted the content that is the subject of the DMCA notice. It is our policy to replace removed content if the contributor submits a properly drafted counter-notice under the DMCA.

We recommend that you consult an attorney before filing a notice of copyright infringement. Copyright laws may permit a person to use a work in certain ways without obtaining permission from the copyright owner. Please note that Section 512(f) of the DMCA states that any person who knowingly materially misrepresents in a DMCA notice that content is infringing is liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, incurred by the alleged infringer.
