Copyright complaints
We respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium

Manager (compliance@antiochians.org), or acaadirectory@proton.me.
To submit a notice, write to our agent (subject line: “DMCA Copyright Infringement Notice”)
and include each element required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3):
 identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed, or a representative
list if there are several;
 identification of the material you claim is infringing, including the full URL of the page on
the Website where it appears;
 your name, address, telephone number, and email address;
 a statement that you have a good faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright
owner, its agent, or the law;
 a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate
and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner’s behalf;
and
 your physical or electronic signature.
We may decline to act on notices that do not substantially comply with these requirements,
and we may remove material that comes to our attention through a non-compliant notice. We
may send your notice, including the information in it, to the user who posted the material. We
will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.
If your material was removed and you believe the removal was the result of mistake or
misidentification, you may send a counter-notification to our agent at the addresses above
containing each element required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3).
If we receive a valid counter-notification, we may restore the material in not less than ten and
not more than fourteen business days, unless we first receive notice that the person who sent
the original notice has filed an action seeking a court order restraining the allegedly infringing
activity. We may forward your counter-notification to that person.
Anyone who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was
removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages under 17 U.S.C.
§ 512(f).
