Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Policy
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) provides a legal framework for copyright holders to request the removal of infringing content. King Luckie LLC adheres to this process to ensure the protection of intellectual property rights. For more information about the DMCA, visit the official website of the U.S. Copyright Office.
Important Note: This policy is not legal advice. For specific concerns or situations, you should consult a qualified attorney.
Accuracy and Responsibility
The DMCA requires individuals submitting infringement notices to swear to the accuracy of their claims under penalty of perjury. Submitting false information may result in legal consequences, including civil liability and potential criminal penalties (U.S. Code, Title 18, Section 1621).
Before Filing a Notice
Before submitting a DMCA takedown notice, please:
- Conduct a thorough investigation to determine if the content usage may be permissible under the law (e.g., fair use).
- Attempt to contact the individual directly to resolve the issue.
- Ensure that any third-party services involved are not using automated tools or bots for submitting bulk DMCA notices, as these may lead to invalid claims.
Filing a DMCA notice is a serious legal action with real consequences. We strongly recommend consulting with a legal professional before proceeding.
DMCA Takedown Notices

Counter Notices
If you believe your content was mistakenly removed due to a DMCA notice, you may submit a counter notice to contest the takedown. Your counter notice should include:
- Identification of the material removed or disabled and its location prior to removal.

- Your contact information, including your name, address, and phone number.
