Report copyright infringement

Email the contact above with the subject “Copyright notice — Within”. Include:

Use this email process for copyright notices. The separate intimate-image removal form is for a different type of request.

1. Your physical or electronic signature, as the owner or an authorized representative.
2. The copyrighted work claimed to be infringed, or a representative list.
3. The material to remove and enough information to locate it: a post link or reference, account name, and the specific photo or node.
4. Your name, mailing address, telephone number and email so we can contact you.
5. A statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement that the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, you are authorized to act for the owner of the exclusive right allegedly infringed.

Consider licenses, fair use and other legal exceptions before sending a notice. Don’t send passwords, identity documents, or unrelated private images. We may forward relevant notice details to the affected uploader as part of handling the claim.

Counter-notices

If your material was removed by mistake or misidentification, email a signed counter-notice identifying the removed material and where it appeared. Include a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief removal resulted from mistake or misidentification; your name, address and telephone number; and your consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for your address (or, outside the United States, a district in which the service provider may be found), and acceptance of service of process from the notifying party or its agent.

A valid counter-notice, including your contact information, is forwarded to the notifying party, who is informed of the intended restoration in 10 business days. The statutory process generally provides for restoration no earlier than 10 and no later than 14 business days after receipt, unless we receive notice of a court action seeking to restrain the alleged infringement. Restoration remains subject to other independent safety or account restrictions. Seek legal advice before submitting a counter-notice.

Repeat infringement

Within terminates, in appropriate circumstances, accounts of repeat copyright infringers. We review substantiated notices, counter-notices, withdrawals, corrections, and other relevant circumstances. An allegation alone does not establish infringement. Copyright decisions remain subject to owner review, and users may contact our designated agent to challenge a mistake.
