    DIGITAL MILLENNIUM COPYRIGHT ACT NOTICE PROCEDURES

    To file a notice of infringement with us, you must provide a written communication (by fax or regular mail -- not by email, except by prior agreement) that sets forth the items specified below.

    To expedite our ability to process your request, please use the following format (including section numbers):

    1) Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed. If multiple copyrighted works at the Site are covered by a single notification, provide a representative list of such works;

    2) 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 SlideShare to locate the material. Please provide a url for each slideshow that you claim to be infringing.

    3) Information reasonably sufficient to permit SlideShare to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail;

    4) Include the following statement: "I have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted materials described above as allegedly infringing is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law."

    5) Include the following statement: "I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed."

    6) Sign the document

    7) Send the document to SlideShare's designated Copyright Agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement. You may use either the address or the fax number given below:

    Jonathan Boutelle (Designated CopyRight Agent)
    SlideShare Inc.
    739 Bryant Street,
    San Francisco CA 94107
    Fax: 415 789 4358

    Please note that you will be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys' fees) if you materially misrepresent that a product or activity is infringing your copyrights. Indeed, in a recent case (please see http://www.onlinepolicy.org/action/le... for more information), a company that sent an infringement notification seeking removal of online materials that were protected by the fair use doctrine was ordered to pay such costs and attorneys fees. The company agreed to pay over $100,000. Accordingly, if you are not sure whether material available online infringes your copyright, we suggest that you first contact an attorney.
