Sample DMCA section 512 counternotice letters and other resources
| This guide, originally created by the Fair Use Network, has been edited by New Media Rights, and is provided for users and creators who have received a DMCAi section 512 "takedown" notice. |
Here are two sample counternotices to cover two common situations. We stress that these should be considered samples or models only. While a takedown counternotice only needs to comply with a few key points to be legally valid, anyone considering filing a counternotice should understand the legal implications of the DMCA § 512 process and the underlying legal claims.
Sample Counternotices:
Counternotice for fair use [512(c) webhost]
Counternotice for non-copyright claims [512(c) webhost]
