Copyright Infringement

If you believe that your copyrights are being infringed and you’d like to have content removed, submit a copyright removal notice or provide notice by other means as specified in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

When you submit a request, make sure that the information provided is true and accurate. Knowingly submitting false infringement notices can result in liability for damages under section 512(f) of the DMCA.

Copyright Removal Requests: Photo/Video/Article

Only the owner of a copyright (or an authorized agent acting on their behalf) can submit a copyright removal request.

If you’re in a photo that someone else took, that doesn't necessarily mean that you're the copyright owner of that photo. Only the owner of a copyright (or an authorized agent acting on their behalf) can submit a copyright removal request.

Trademark Claim Policies

Copyrights and trademarks are two different types of intellectual property. Trademark protects things like brand names and logos from being used in a way that might cause confusion about the source of goods or services in commerce.
