DMCA / Urheberrechtsansprüche
Last updated: November 5, 2026
Eporner accepts copyright notices and counter-notifications through the voluntary procedure described below, with reference to 17 U.S.C. § 512 (DMCA) and our Terms of Service.
DMCA notices and counter-notifications: dmca@eporner.com.
No Eporner account or prescribed form is required. The written submission must contain the applicable information below.
1. DMCA notices
A notice must come from the owner of the exclusive copyright right concerned or an authorized representative. Consider any licence, permission, fair use or other applicable exception before submitting a claim. Appearing in a recording does not, by itself, establish copyright ownership.
Send a written notice to dmca@eporner.com or to the agent below. It must substantially include:
(a) The copyrighted work: identify the work allegedly infringed, or provide a representative list where one notice covers multiple works.
(b) The material to be removed: identify the allegedly infringing material and provide information reasonably sufficient to locate it. Exact URLs and, where needed, identification of the relevant portion are preferred. A general search, profile or category link may be insufficient without further identification.
(c) Contact information: provide sufficient details to contact the claimant, including name, postal address, telephone number and, if available, email address. A representative should identify the rightsholder represented.
(d) Good faith: state that you believe in good faith that the disputed use is not permitted by the copyright owner, an authorized agent or the law.
(e) Accuracy and authority: confirm the accuracy of the notice and declare, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act for the owner of the exclusive right allegedly infringed.
(f) Signature: provide the physical or electronic signature of the rightsholder or authorized representative. A typed full legal name may serve as an electronic signature.
One notice may identify multiple specific URLs. An authorized reference copy or URL may assist identification but is not mandatory in every case. Reasonable evidence of ownership or authority may be requested where needed to assess the claim.
2. Handling notices
We assess notices under the applicable DMCA requirements and respond expeditiously to substantially compliant notices by removing or disabling access to the identified material. We take reasonable steps promptly to notify the affected uploader of a DMCA removal.
Where the conditions in § 512(c)(3)(B)(ii) are met, we promptly attempt to contact the claimant or take other reasonable steps to obtain missing statutory information. Other defective, irrelevant or unidentifiable submissions may receive no further response, subject to applicable law. A request for supporting information does not displace the applicable DMCA processing requirements.
3. Counter-notifications
The uploader, or a duly authorized representative acting for the uploader, may dispute a DMCA removal caused by mistake or misidentification by sending a written counter-notification to dmca@eporner.com. A counter-notification under § 512(g)(3) must substantially include:
(a) The uploader’s name, physical address and telephone number. An email address and any case reference should also be supplied for correspondence.
(b) Identification of the removed or disabled material and its former location.
(c) A declaration under penalty of perjury that the uploader believes in good faith that removal or disabling resulted from mistake or misidentification.
(d) The uploader’s consent to the jurisdiction of the United States Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the uploader’s address is located or, if that address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which the service provider may be found. The uploader must also agree to accept service of process from the original notifier or that person’s agent.
(e) The uploader’s physical or electronic signature, or the signature of a duly authorized representative acting for the uploader.
The statement in point (d) is made by the uploader only (see Section 8).
4. Reinstatement following a counter-notification
For a compliant counter-notification concerning material removed solely in response to a DMCA notice, the procedure in § 512(g)(2) provides for prompt forwarding to the original notifier, notice of intended reinstatement in ten business days, and reinstatement not earlier than ten and not later than fourteen business days after receipt of the compliant counter-notification.
That procedure does not call for reinstatement if, before reinstatement, the designated agent receives notice that the original notifier has filed the proceedings described in § 512(g)(2)(C). This includes a qualifying Copyright Claims Board proceeding under 17 U.S.C. § 1507(d). A threat to bring proceedings is not the same as notice that qualifying proceedings have been filed.
A counter-notification that does not substantially comply with § 512(g)(3) does not trigger the reinstatement procedure under § 512(g)(2). A counter-notification does not remove an independent legal, safety, verification or Terms-based ground for restricting the material. Reinstatement remains subject to any such independent ground and applicable law. The statutory timetable is not a general service-level or publication guarantee.
5. Repeat infringement
We maintain and reasonably implement a repeat-infringer policy, described in the Terms, which provides for termination in appropriate circumstances. The assessment may take account of valid notices, counter-notifications, withdrawals, successful challenges, prior measures, repeated uploads and reasonably linked replacement or associated accounts. A disputed or materially defective notice does not automatically establish infringement.
Measures may include warnings, restrictions, suspension or termination, as appropriate under the Terms and applicable law. Nothing here guarantees a warning before termination or a fixed number of permitted infringements. We may use content-matching tools as described in the Terms, without guaranteeing a particular technology or prevention of every re-upload.
6. Corrections and information sharing
To correct or withdraw your notice, email dmca@eporner.com, identifying the original claim, affected URLs, requested correction or withdrawal, and your authority and signature. Verification may be required. A withdrawal does not guarantee reinstatement where another ground for restriction remains.
Notices or relevant details may be shared with the affected uploader where necessary to address the claim. A compliant counter-notification is forwarded to the original notifier or its representative, including the identifying information and declarations required by the DMCA. Other processing and disclosures are governed by the Privacy Notice and applicable law. Do not include unrelated sensitive data.
Knowingly making a material misrepresentation in a notice or counter-notification may result in liability under § 512(f), including damages, costs and attorneys’ fees, and measures permitted by the Terms and applicable law.
7. Designated copyright agent
For direct contact with Eporner, please send DMCA notices and counter-notifications to our dedicated copyright email address: dmca@eporner.com. Notices may also be submitted to our designated copyright agent using the contact details below.
Copyright Agent — DMCA Now LLC

United States
Phone: +1 (800) 371-1217
Fax: +1 (800) 371-0235
The designation is limited to receiving and handling DMCA notices and counter-notifications. It does not authorize acceptance or waiver of service of other legal process on our behalf, absent separate express authorization or a requirement of applicable law.
8. Applicable law and reservation of rights
Eporner is operated by a service provider established in Poland. The Polish governing-law and jurisdiction provisions of the Terms apply within their stated scope and subject to mandatory applicable law.
By publishing this page, designating a copyright agent, or receiving or handling a notice, Eporner does not consent to United States jurisdiction, choose United States law, or admit that United States law applies to us or to any particular claim. The jurisdictional statement required from an uploader under § 512(g)(3)(D) is made by the uploader alone; it does not constitute consent by Eporner, identify any United States district as competent over Eporner, or waive any objection available to us.
This page describes the DMCA procedure; it does not create additional contractual warranties, service levels, fixed takedown deadlines, duties to monitor or search for infringement, guarantees of removal or reinstatement, or independent third-party contractual rights. Specific statutory time periods described above remain distinct from voluntary service commitments.
Nothing here limits mandatory law, the requirements of a statutory protection on which we rely, or the Terms. Removing or disabling material, or otherwise handling a submission, is not an admission of liability, a judicial finding of infringement or an acknowledgement of the merits of a claim. We reserve all objections and defences, including those concerning jurisdiction, venue, service, applicable law and territorial scope, and all available limitations of liability, including those under § 512 where applicable.
