DMCA:

AE-BaseApp follows United States Federal Guidelines on DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act). As part of those guidelines we are required to respond to notices of infringing material on any AE-BaseApp Properties. Part of that response is to remove the infringing material in accordance to section 512(c) of the copyright code.

Before sending a notice of infringement or counter notification you should seek legal counsel. There are liabilities involved under section Misrepresentations 512(f). This section amoung other things provides for damages to Service Providers based on Misrepresentations. There are costs involved in removing access to and if required restoring access to the alleged infringing material. At AE-BaseApp's discretion we can charge a fee for performing this service if we discover Misrepresentation. This fee will normally be assessed when after a Notice of Infringing Material we receive a counter notice and no suit is filled by the Complaintant thus establishing Misrepresentation.

Copyright Infringment is serious and AE-BaseApp takes Notice of Infringing Material very serious if you make a claim that work is infringing your rights but then don't follow up with your suit after we take down said work and receive a counter notice then you have misrepresented your rights. The DMCA take down process is not a game, it is not to be used to squash others rights to free speech or fair use. You should not be sending DMCA Notices unless you are serious about defending your rights.
