DMCA Policy

James Vanderbeek Dead is committed to respecting the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. This DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) Policy outlines the procedures for reporting alleged copyright infringement and for submitting counter-notifications.

It is our policy to respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Upon receipt of a valid DMCA notice, we will promptly remove or disable access to the infringing material and take appropriate action against the alleged infringer.
