False or Misleading Notices

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly misrepresents that material is infringing, or that it was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages. Please make sure the material is actually infringing before you send a notice, and consider whether the use may be covered by fair use.
