Filing a takedown notice

Your notice must include each of the following (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)):

  • Your physical or electronic signature.
  • Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed.
  • Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, including a URL.
  • Your contact info (address, phone, email).
  • A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized.
  • A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are authorized to act.
Counter-notice
If your material was taken down and you believe in good faith that it was a mistake, you can file a counter-notice under § 512(g). Same address; we'll act within 10 business days.

Repeat-infringer policy

Per § 512(i), we terminate the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances. For a Listed/Featured partner, the second valid DMCA notice attributed to your account results in a 30-day suspension. The third is permanent.

Trademark

For trademark issues (logo misuse, partner-name confusion), email hello@seeitearly.com. we don't require formal DMCA-style notice for trademark disputes.

Pulling a screening listing

If you're a studio or rightsholder who'd like us to delist a specific event (e.g. An embargoed premiere), email partners@seeitearly.com. We act within 24 hours and don't require a DMCA notice for event delisting. That's not a copyright question.
