Balanced & Fair Approach

We respect valid copyright claims while protecting our business from abuse. All reports are thoroughly investigated before any action is taken.

1. Balanced Copyright Protection

At Migcloth, we've developed a balanced DMCA policy that respects legitimate copyright concerns while preventing abuse from malicious parties.

Our Dual Commitment:

• For Copyright Holders: We promptly address valid infringement claims
• For Our Business: We protect against false claims and abuse
• For All Parties: We ensure due process and fair investigation

We believe in fair process over automatic removal. While we respect copyright, we also recognize that not all claims are valid, and some may be made in bad faith.

2. Fair Investigation Process

When we receive a copyright claim, we follow a careful investigation process to ensure fairness to all parties involved.

Our Investigation Steps:

Step 1: Initial Review
We verify the completeness and validity of the submitted claim

Step 2: Evidence Assessment
We examine provided evidence and compare with our design

Step 3: Fair Use Consideration
We consider transformative use, parody, and fair use principles

Step 4: Decision Making
We make a balanced decision based on all available information

No Automatic Removal: Unlike some platforms, we do not automatically remove content upon receiving a claim. Each case receives individual attention and careful consideration.

3. Requirements for Valid Copyright Claims

To ensure we only act on legitimate claims, we require specific information and evidence from claimants.

Required Information:

• Complete contact information (name, address, email, phone)
• Detailed description of the original copyrighted work
• Specific URL of the allegedly infringing content
• Evidence of copyright ownership
• Explanation of how the infringement occurred
• Statement of good faith belief
• Physical or electronic signature

Incomplete Claims Will Be Rejected: Claims missing required information or lacking substantial evidence will not result in content removal. We may request additional information before proceeding.

4. Protection Against Abuse

We take measures to protect our business and legitimate designs from malicious or false copyright claims.

Anti-Abuse Measures:

• Claimant Verification: We verify claimant identity and rights
• Evidence Requirement: Substantial evidence required for action
• Bad Faith Monitoring: We track patterns of potentially abusive claims
• Legal Consequences: False claims may result in legal action
• Counter-Notice Rights: We inform affected parties of their rights

Warning: Knowingly submitting false copyright claims may result in legal liability for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. We take perjury seriously.

5. Counter-Notice & Appeal Rights

If we remove content based on a copyright claim, the affected party has the right to submit a counter-notice.

Counter-Notice Requirements:

• Contact information and identification of removed content
• Statement under penalty of perjury of good faith belief
• Explanation of why the removal was mistaken
• Consent to jurisdiction
• Physical or electronic signature

Upon receiving a valid counter-notice, we may restore the content unless the original claimant files court action. This balanced approach protects against improper takedowns.

6. Contact & Fair Resolution

We're committed to fair resolution of copyright matters through proper channels and due process.
