How to Submit a DMCA Takedown Appeal

If one of your audiobooks or other materials has been removed from our platform following a DMCA takedown request, you have the right under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) to appeal that removal by submitting a Counter-Notice.

This process allows you to formally state that your content was taken down by mistake or misidentification.

You should file a DMCA counter-notice if:

• You believe you have the legal right to upload or distribute the content (for example, you are the copyright owner or have a valid license).

• You believe the takedown was based on an error or misidentification.

If you’re unsure whether you have rights to the material, you may wish to consult a legal professional before submitting.

To be valid under U.S. copyright law, your counter-notice must include the following information:

1. Your Contact Information

Provide your full legal name, address, phone number, and email address.

2. Identification of the Removed Content

Describe the material that was removed and where it appeared before removal.
Example:

“The audiobook The Silent Lake (file ID 223145), previously available at https://[company].com/audiobooks/the-silent-lake.”

3. Your Good-Faith Statement

Include this statement (or one similar):

“I have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.”

4. Jurisdiction Statement

Add this declaration so legal notice can be served if needed:

“I consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which my address is located, or if my address is outside the United States, to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for [Company’s State], and will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notification or their agent.”

5. Your Signature

You can sign electronically by typing your name at the end of your message (for example, “/s/ Jane Smith”).

6. Proof of Ownership or Rights

Including supporting documentation helps speed up the review. Examples include:

• Copyright registration certificate

• Publishing or distribution agreement

• Proof of license or written permission

• Original file metadata or creation records

7. Complete Attestation Form

Fully complete the Content Ownership Attestation Form and include a copy with your appeal.
