DMCA and copyright
If you believe something on gritsconference.org shouldn't be here, I'll look at it promptly. I do need specifics to act, though — a vague "take down everything from Developer X" or a bulk list with no page addresses doesn't give me enough to go on. Those requests will sit unanswered until I get the details below.
Sending a notice
Send your notice to [email protected]. To be effective it needs to include:
- The exact page address where the material appears.
- What copyrighted work you say was used, with enough detail that I can identify it.
- Proof that you own the work or are authorized to act for the owner.
- Your contact details: name, email, and a physical mailing address.
- A good-faith statement that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act.
- An electronic or physical signature.
This site is a catalog of Mac software — download links, version notes, and compatibility details I've written. I don't host the programs themselves. If your issue is with something on a developer's own site, you'll want to reach them directly.
What happens next
Once I receive a valid notice, I'll remove or disable the material. I'll also let the person who posted it know. If they file a proper counter-notice, I'll forward it to you, and the material may go back up unless you tell me you've filed a court action.
Counter-notice
If you believe material was removed by mistake, send a counter-notice to [email protected] with:
- The page address where the material was before it came down.
- Your name, address, and phone number.
- A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address, and that you'll accept service of process from the original complaining party.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification.
- Your signature.
