Definition of DMCA

The DMCA is a United States copyright law that provides guidelines for online service providers in case of copyright infringement. Under this law, copyright owners can seek relief from online services that host and transmit copyrighted material without permission.

Designated Agent: [Name of the designated agent] Address: [Physical address where the designated agent can be contacted] Phone Number: [Contact number of the designated agent] Email Address: [Email address of the designated agent]

Please provide the following information in your written notice:

1. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
2. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to locate the material.
3. Accurate contact information for the complaining party, including your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
4. A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.

Investigate

Upon receipt of a valid infringement notification, The Game of Stonks will investigate the complaint, ensuring that the information provided is accurate and that the claim involves potentially infringing material on our website.

No Automated Bots

Our investigation will be conducted without the use of automated decision-making systems. Each notification will be assessed by a human to ensure fair and accurate handling.

DMCA Takedown Notice

Following our investigation, if the claim is deemed valid, we will issue a DMCA takedown notice and promptly remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material.

Counter Notices

If you believe that your material has been removed by mistake or misidentification, you may provide a written counter-notification to our designated agent containing the following information:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material.
4. Your name, address, and telephone number; a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in [your jurisdiction], and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.

The Determination

After receiving a counter-notification, we will forward it to the complaining party. If the complaining party does not seek a court order to prevent further infringement within 14 business days, we will restore the removed content.

Editorial Process

The Game of Stonks follows a rigorous editorial process to ensure that all content published on our website is accurate, reliable, and respects intellectual property rights. This process includes review by subject matter experts and adherence to journalism best practices.

Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, The Game of Stonks has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. We may also, at our discretion, limit access to the site and/or terminate the accounts of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.
