Copyright

Members write in their own words (rule 11). If a post copies your work without permission, you can send a notice to our designated agent under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

Our designated agent

Copyright Agent, LotteryTeller.com

Email: info@lotteryteller.com

What a notice must include

Under 17 U.S.C. 512(c)(3), a notice needs:

  • Your physical or electronic signature, or that of someone authorized to act for you.
  • The work you say was copied.
  • Where the copy is on LotteryTeller: the link, or the thread title and the handle that posted it.
  • Your name, postal address, phone number and email.
  • A statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorized by you, your agent or the law.
  • A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner.

What we do

We remove the post once we have a notice with all six elements above. If a notice is incomplete, we reply asking for what is missing and remove nothing yet. When we remove a post, we send its author a notice that names the copyright request.

If the author sends a counter-notice (see below), we forward it to you and can restore the post after 10 to 14 business days unless you tell us you have filed a lawsuit.

A member with three copyright removals that stand can no longer post: an operator restricts the account with no end date. A removal reversed after a counter-notice does not count.

If your post was removed

If we removed your post after a copyright notice and you believe that was a mistake, send a counter-notice to info@lotteryteller.com. We forward it to the person who sent the notice. Under 17 U.S.C. 512(g)(3), a counter-notice needs:

  • Your physical or electronic signature.
  • The material that was removed and where it appeared before we removed it: the link, or the thread title.
  • A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you believe in good faith the material was removed by mistake or misidentification.
  • Your name, postal address and phone number.
  • Your consent to the jurisdiction of a federal court, and your agreement to accept service of process from the person who sent the notice.
