DMCA

Digital Millennium Copyright Act

If you represent a copyright holder and email our addresses without fully reading and understanding this policy, you accept that any further email from you may be refused by our servers. If you are not a representative of a lawfirm and some of the terms contained within this policy are confusing to you, please see this example. If our policy is still unclear to you, please contact a lawfirm that understands DMCA procedures and/or one of many organizations dedicated to handling your rights online. We would suggest either Web Sheriff or GrayZone as they both have a positive reputation with us and are capable of sending emails according to the format specified below. Thanks for your cooperation.

It is our policy to respond to clear notices of alleged copyright
infringement. This page describes the information that should be present in these notices.

Note we have moved servers out of US and is no longer subject to US DMCA laws. But we are keeping this copyright policy and procedure modeled after the DMCA, as it worked for us and for copyright owners in the past, and we find this procedure and takedown process to be mostly fair.

Regardless of whether we may be liable for such infringement under local country law or United States law, our response to these notices may include, removing or disabling access to material claimed to be the subject of infringing activity and/or terminating subscribers. If we remove or disable access in response to such a notice, we will make a good-faith attempt to contact the owner or administrator of the affected site or content so that they may make a counter notification. We may also document notices of alleged infringement on which we act. As with all legal notices, a copy of the notice may be sent to one or more third parties who may make it available to the public.

Please note that you may be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) if you materially misrepresent that a product or activity is infringing your copyrights. See Online Policy Group v. Diebold, Inc. for more information. If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and believe that any file or other content or link infringes upon your copyrights, you may submit a notification pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (”DMCA”) by providing our Copyright Agent with the following
information in writing (see 17 U.S.C 512(c)(3) which is incorporated by reference):

(i) A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;

(ii) Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site;

(iii) Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled and information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to locate the material;

(iv) Information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail;

(v) A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and

(vi) A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

the Audiobook Bay’s designated DMCA Copyright Agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement is:

Email: theaudiobookbay@gmail.com

For clarity, only DMCA notices should go to the DMCA Copyright Agent. You acknowledge that if you fail to comply with all of the requirements of this Section 5(D), your DMCA notice
may not be valid.

Here is a DMCA form you may use for efficiency:

1. Identify in sufficient detail the copyrighted work that you believe has been infringed upon (for example, “The copyrighted work at issue is the text that appears on https://audiobookbay.lu/abss/abc/“) or other information sufficient to specify the copyrighted work being infringed (for example, “The copyrighted work at issue is the “ABC Audiobook” by John Doe, published by Jones Publishing, ASIN: 1234567890″).

2. Identify the material that you claim is infringing the copyrighted work listed in item #1 above.

FOR WEB OR INTERNET SEARCH, YOU MUST IDENTIFY EACH SEARCH RESULT THAT DIRECTLY LINKS TO A WEB PAGE OR FILE THAT ALLEGEDLY CONTAINS INFRINGING MATERIAL. This requires you to provide (a) the search query that you used, and (b) the URL for each allegedly infringing search result.

For example, suppose (hypothetically) that you conducted a search on AudioBook Bay using the query “ABC”, and found that the third and fourth
results directly link to a web page or file that you believe infringes the copyrighted text you identified in item #1 above. In this case, you would provide the following information:

Search Query: ABC
Infringing Web Pages/Files:  www.infringingwebsite.com/abcsample.torrent
directory.infringingwebsite.com

We will not accept links to only search results, as they do not identify any item that may link to material infringing your copyright. You must identify individual items in the search results that you wish us to remove. The following are examples of URLs that we will not accept as identification on their own. If your email contains only one of these URLs, and no other
