Copyright Policy

What is involved in a copyright claim?

When you publish a document containing someone else's work without proper attribution, you are infringing on copyright laws. If an individual, company, or organization objects to this infringement, it is known as a copyright claim. These claims are typically raised by entities holding rights to music, movies, books, and other copyrighted materials. A copyright claim serves as a notification that content is being unlawfully utilized.

How do I submit a copyright claim?

To submit a copyright claim, whether as an individual or a company, follow these steps. Each document on the platform contains a clickable link labeled "Report copyright violation," which you can select to report misuse of content. Additionally, you can submit a copyright claim through the "Report Abuse" form.

Before filing a claim, ensure there is a legitimate case of plagiarism or content misuse. Submit your claim via email or the provided form. Include the following details outlined in Article 8 of the Terms and Conditions:

Description of the study material relevant to your claim. Link to the study material on the website. Explanation of why you believe the text violates copyright laws. Contact information, including name, address, phone number, and email. A statement, supported by evidence, affirming the accuracy and completeness of the information in your claim and demonstrating ownership of the intellectual property rights affected. Signature from the copyright holder or an authorized representative. What is a Notice & Take Down request?

Due to the decentralized nature of the internet, anyone can freely publish content, posing challenges in controlling published material. The Notice & Take Down process provides guidelines for online service providers on handling content removal requests. However, not all requests are automatically accepted; each is considered individually.
