Copyright

A notice has to include all of the following, so that Kabora can act on it:

• Your name, and your physical or electronic signature.
• The work you say is being copied: a description, or a link to where it is published.
• Where it is on Kabora: the link to the listing or page, and which photo or passage, so that Kabora can find it.
• How to reach you: your address, your phone number and your email address.
• A statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorized by you, your agent or the law.
• A statement that the information in your notice is accurate, and that you own the work or may act for the person who does. You make it under penalty of perjury: making it while knowing it is false is a crime.

Send it to hello@kabora.app. A notice that is knowingly false can make the person who sent it liable for the costs it causes.

When a notice has everything above, Kabora removes the material or stops it being shown, promptly. Kabora tells the person who posted it what was taken down and why, and sends them a copy of the notice. Kabora keeps a record of every notice and what it did with it.

If you posted the material and believe it was removed by mistake, or because it was identified wrongly, you can send a counter-notice to the same address. It has to include:

• Your name, and your physical or electronic signature.
• What was removed, and where it was on Kabora before it was removed.
• A statement that you believe in good faith that it was removed by mistake, or because it was named wrongly. You make it under penalty of perjury: making it while knowing it is false is a crime.
• Your address, your phone number and your email address.
• That you agree a US federal court can hear the case. It is the federal court for the area your address is in, or, if you live outside the United States, any one where Kabora can be sued. And that you will accept legal papers from the person who complained, or from their agent. The law’s own words for this (17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3)(D)) are:

  “a statement that the subscriber consents to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the address is located, or if the subscriber’s address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which the service provider may be found, and that the subscriber will accept service of process from the person who provided notification under subsection (c)(1)(C) or an agent of such person.”

Kabora sends the counter-notice to the person who complained, and tells them Kabora will put the material back in ten business days. Kabora puts it back between ten and fourteen business days after the counter-notice reaches Kabora. The one exception: before then, they tell Kabora they have gone to court to stop the use.

Kabora closes the accounts of people who post other people’s work again and again. A host whose listing is taken down on a notice is told so, and a pattern of notices that stand ends the account.

Kabora's designated agent is being registered with the US Copyright Office, and will be named here once it is.

Until then, email your notice to hello@kabora.app and write "Copyright notice" in the subject. A counter-notice goes to the same place.
