The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) was signed into law by President Clinton on October 28, 1998. The legislation implements two 1996 World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) treaties: the WIPO Copyright Treaty and the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty. The DMCA also addresses a number of other significant copyright-related issues.

DMCA Counter-Notice of Alleged Infringement
If you believe that your content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have authorization from the copyright holder, the holder’s agent, or pursuant to law, to post and use the material in your content, you may send a Counter-Notice containing the following information to rayonshine Copyright Agent:
Your physical or electronic signature;
Identification of the content that was removed or to which access has been disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the content; and your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address, a statement that you consent to federal court jurisdiction, and that you will receive notice of the person who provided notice of the alleged infringement statement of service of process.
If a Counter-Notice is received by the Copyright Agent, rayonshine may send a copy of the Counter-Notice to the original complaining party informing that person that it may replace the removed content or cease disabling it in ten business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against rayonshine or the person who has posted allegedly infringing content, the removed content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in ten business days or more after receipt of the Counter-Notice.
Rayonshine Policy Regarding Repeat Infringers
Rayonshine does not condone or tolerate copyright infringement or any violation of the intellectual property rights of rayonshine or of others. Rayonshine reserves the right to terminate the access and/or use privileges of any person who has been determined to be a ‘repeat infringer’ of the copyrights of rayonshine or others. rayonshine reserves the right to define the criteria by which rayonshine will determine that a person is a ‘repeat infringer.’ In the event that repeat infringer’ is defined by statute, law, or regulation as applicable to 17 USC § 512, rayonshine will adopt that definition as a minimum standard. Without limiting rayonshine right to define ‘repeat infringer,’ as a general rule, rayonshine will define a ‘repeat infringer’ as any person or entity about whom rayonshine has received two or more DMCA Notices of Alleged Infringement. rayonshine will take into account all relevant facts and circumstances when determining whether or not termination of access and/or use privileges of a ‘repeat infringer’ is appropriate.
Regardless of whether rayonshine terminates access and/or use privileges of any person or entity, ‘repeat infringer’ or otherwise, rayonshine in no way waives any right to pursue any available remedy at law or in equity against copyright infringers or any other intellectual property rights violators, nor will rayonshine indemnify or provide legal representation to any alleged infringer in any action arising from the alleged infringer’s use of any rayonshine website or service, except as expressly described in this notice.
