  3. A description of the location on Digest where the allegedly infringing material is located.

Next Steps

Upon receipt of a valid copyright infringement notification, we will remove the infringing content and forward the notification to affected parties.

If they reply back to us with a counter-notification, we will forward it to you. You will then have 10 business days to notify us that you are seeking a court order to restrain the user from continuing to infringe upon your copyrights on Digest. If we don’t hear from you, we may replace the removed content 14 business days from our receipt of the counter-notification.
