DMCA Copyright Policy
FEAIA respects intellectual property rights and processes copyright infringement notices pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). This policy explains the notice and counter-notice procedures.
§1 Overview
Pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512), FEAIA has designated a copyright agent to receive infringement notifications. As a qualifying service provider, we will take appropriate action upon receipt of a valid DMCA notice.
This policy also reflects our respect for copyright laws worldwide, including but not limited to the EU Copyright Directive and the PRC Copyright Law.
§2 DMCA Takedown Notice
If you believe your copyrighted work has been infringed, please submit a written notice (email is acceptable) to our designated copyright agent.
Process after notice submission:
Acknowledge receipt
We will confirm receipt within 2 business days
Initial review
Assess completeness and compliance of notice (3–5 business days)
Take action
If notice is valid, removal or access restriction will be implemented
Notify parties
If applicable, notify the alleged infringer of their counter-notice rights
Counter-notice period
The alleged infringer has 10–14 business days to submit a counter-notice
Final determination
Decide whether to restore content based on counter-notice
§3 Required Elements
A valid DMCA notice must include all of the following elements (per 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)):
§4 Counter-Notice Procedure
If you believe your content was removed in error, you may submit a counter-notice. A valid counter-notice must include:
- Your signature (electronic accepted)
- Identification of the removed content and its location before removal
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the content was removed due to mistake or misidentification
- Your name, address, phone number, and email address
- Consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court (if in the US) or other appropriate jurisdiction
Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, we will forward a copy to the original complainant within 10–14 business days and restore the removed content after that period (absent a court order).
§5 Repeat Infringer Policy
As required by DMCA § 512(i), FEAIA maintains a policy of terminating accounts of repeat infringers.
Upon receiving multiple valid infringement notices against the same user:
- First valid notice: Warning and removal of infringing content
- Second valid notice: Account suspension and review
- Third valid notice: Permanent account termination
Notices resolved by successful counter-notice do not count toward the above. We reserve the right to immediately terminate accounts for egregious infringement.
§6 False Claims Warning
Before submitting a notice, please confirm: (a) you are the copyright owner or their authorized agent; (b) you have substantial reason to believe the identified content infringes your copyright; (c) all statements in the notice are true.
