How to file a counter notice with Prepineer.
If Prepineer does remove or disable access in response to a proper DMCA notice, Prepineer will promptly contact the content provider so that they may make a counter notification.
If the content provider believes that the material that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or the content provider believes that it has the right to post and use such material from the copyright owner, the copyright owner’s agent, or pursuant to the law, the content provider may send Prepineer a counter notice as described below. Pursuant to Section 512(g) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, please use the following format (including section numbers):
- 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3)(A): Please provide a physical or electronic signature with your written communication.
