What has to be in a DMCA takedown notice for it to be valid?

Question

Accepted Answer

17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) lists six required elements. (1) A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or someone authorized to act for them. (2) Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed, or a representative list if many works are on one site. (3) Identification of the infringing material with information reasonably sufficient to locate it, in practice the exact URLs. (4) Your contact information: address, telephone number and, if available, email. (5) A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the owner, its agent, or the law. (6) A statement that the information is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or authorized to act. A notice missing several elements can be disregarded, though providers must try to help you fix minor gaps. Knowingly false claims create liability under § 512(f).
