Copyright and DMCA Policy
How rights holders and users can submit copyright notices and counter-notices.
Effective August 25, 2026 · Last updated August 25, 2026
1. Copyright complaints
Shareth respects intellectual-property rights and responds to notices that satisfy applicable law, including the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”). Before sending a notice, consider whether the use is authorized, licensed, or protected by fair use or another exception.
2. What a notice must include
Send a written notice to [email protected] containing:
- your physical or electronic signature;
- identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed, or a representative list for multiple works;
- identification of the material to be removed and information reasonably sufficient to locate it, including each Shareth URL;
- your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address;
- a statement that you have a good-faith belief the disputed use is not authorized by the owner, its agent, or law; and
- a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and you are authorized to act for the copyright owner.
3. Counter-notices
If your content was removed because of a copyright notice and you believe the removal was mistaken or misidentified, you may send a counter-notice to [email protected] containing your signature, identification of the removed material and its former location, a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief it was removed by mistake or misidentification, and the consent-to-jurisdiction and service statements required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g).
We may forward a valid counter-notice to the original complainant and restore material when the law permits unless the complainant timely reports filing a qualifying court action.
4. Repeat infringement and misrepresentation
We may terminate accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances and may restrict material while reviewing a complaint. Knowingly making material misrepresentations in a notice or counter-notice may create liability. You may wish to obtain legal advice before submitting one.
5. Other rights
For trademark, privacy, impersonation, or other non-copyright complaints, use the public Report link or email [email protected]. A DMCA notice is not the correct process for every dispute.
