Claims of Copyright Infringement

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the “DMCA”) as the European Intellectual Property Regulations provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. or E.U. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that materials hosted by EDV infringe your copyright, you (or your agent) may send us a notice requesting that the material be removed, or access to it blocked. The notice must include the following Information: (a) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or if multiple copyrighted works located on the Website are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works); (c) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, and Information reasonably sufficient to allow EDV to locate the material on the Website; (d) the name, address, telephone number, and email address (if available) of the complaining party; (e) a statement that the complaining party has 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 (f) a statement that the Information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, send us a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements. Notices and counter-notices concerning the Website should be sent to:

  • photos and/or videos, including those depicting individuals, unless the photographer (and, where applicable, the depicted individual, and if the depicted individual is a child, the child’s parents or legal guardian) or videographer have expressly consented to such use
  • the names of any individuals, and/or other information that could allow anyone to identify the individual(s), such as an address, phone number, social insurance number, license plate number, hometown, school, etc. unless those individuals have expressly consented to such use
  • the names, photographs, voices, or another likeness of celebrities, either living or dead, whether favorable or unfavorable
  • inappropriate comments or inferences about our partners, donors, alumni, corps members, staff, and students (for example, disparaging comments)

  • predatory conduct towards minors
  • libel, slander, or defamation of character
  • threats
  • inappropriate or “off-color” statements
  • text, pictures or images that could be described as obscene, profane, lewd, crude, vulgar, offensive, provocative or pornographic, or as containing gang signs or symbols, gun imagery, political or religious propaganda, derogatory characterizations of any ethnic, racial, sexual or religious group, depictions of alcohol or drug abuse, or promotion of illegal activity of any kind
  • advertising
