Copyright and Content Reports

Where content lives #

The services run by Adnan Ahmad (“we”, “us”, as defined in our terms) mostly don't publish user content. Many are tools or clients that connect you to third-party platforms and providers, and the content you reach through them is hosted and controlled by those third parties. To get content removed at its source, report it to whoever hosts it.

Report to us when content is stored or made available by a service we run, or when one of the services is being used to infringe or abuse, for example a bot spreading infringing material or spam.

How to report #

Email [email protected] with:

• your name and contact details, and who you represent if you're acting for someone else
• the copyrighted work or right you believe is infringed, or why the content is unlawful or abusive
• exactly where it is, such as a URL, a message link or a repository path
• a statement that you believe in good faith the use isn't authorized by the owner, their agent or the law
• a statement that the information in your report is accurate and, for copyright, a statement under penalty of perjury that you're the owner or authorized to act for them
• your physical or electronic signature, such as your full typed name

These details cover what the US DMCA (17 U.S.C. § 512) and India's IT Rules, 2021 expect in a notice. Knowingly false reports may make you liable for damages.

What happens next #

• We aim to acknowledge reports promptly, and act on valid ones within the time the law requires.
• If a report is complete and valid, we'll remove or disable access to the content.
• Where appropriate, we'll tell the person who provided the content and pass on the report.
• In appropriate circumstances, we close the accounts of repeat infringers.

If a report is incomplete, we may ask for what's missing, or decline to act on it. We may also decline reports that appear abusive or made in bad faith.

Counter-notices #

If your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake, email [email protected] with:

• your name, address, phone number and email address
• what was removed and where it was before
• a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith it was removed by mistake or misidentification
• a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the courts where you live (or, outside the US, the courts in New Delhi) and will accept service from the person who reported it
• your physical or electronic signature

We'll forward your counter-notice to the person who reported the content. If they don't tell us within 10 to 14 business days that they've started legal action, we may restore it.

Content in repositories #

For something in one of our code repositories, you can email us as above, or use the takedown process of the platform hosting the repository.
