What if I receive a Copyright Complaint (DMCA) notification?

If you receive a notification that a post has been removed due a copyright complaint, it means that the post’s content has been deleted from Fans at the request of the content’s owner. If you want us to forward the information from the Copyright Complaint notification, just reply to the notification to let us know. We will provide it to you (without any personal contact information). If your account receives too many copyright complaints, you may lose the ability to post new content on Fans, and your account may be disabled completely.

If you believe a post was removed in error, you have the option to file a counter-notice by following the steps below. When we receive a valid counter-notice, we will forward a copy to the person who filed the original complaint.

If we do not receive notice within 10 business days that the submitter of the original complaint is seeking a court order to prevent further infringement of the content at issue, we are allowed to remove the complaint from your account’s record, and we may replace the content that was removed.

Note: There are legal and financial consequences for fraudulent and/or bad faith submissions. Before submitting a counter-notice, be sure that you are the actual rights holder of the removed content or that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed in error, and understand the repercussions of submitting a false claim.

How to File a Counter-Notice:

  1. Email your counter-notice to ip@fans.com.
  2. Include ALL of the following:
    1. Your name, address, and telephone number.
    2. An 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 disabled.

    3. The source address of the content that was removed.
    4. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed in error.
    5. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which Fans may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original complaint under subsection (c)(1)(C) or an agent of such person.
