DMCA and Copyright Policy

BBCPOV respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users and contributors to do the same. This page explains how to tell us about material you believe infringes your copyright. It expands section 8 of our Terms of Service.

Sending a notice

A notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) should be sent to our designated agent and include:

A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorised to act for them.
Identification of the copyrighted work you say is infringed.
Identification of the material you say is infringing, with enough detail (such as the page address) for us to find it.
Your name, postal address, telephone number and email address.
A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or authorised to act for the owner.

You can also use the form on our content removal page; choose "It uses my copyrighted work".

Counter-notice

If material you posted was removed and you believe that was a mistake or misidentification, you can send a counter-notice to the same agent. It should include your signature, identification of the material and where it appeared, a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief it was removed by mistake, and your name, address and telephone number with a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate court.

Repeat infringers

We remove material that is the subject of a valid notice and may close the accounts of people who repeatedly infringe.
