DMCA Policy

RW LYNCH respects the intellectual property rights of others. We comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). This policy outlines our procedures for addressing copyright infringement claims on our website. Our aim is to protect copyrighted content, particularly across our news, agency, and legal advisory articles, while also ensuring fair use and open communication.

How to File a DMCA Takedown Notice

To report a copyright infringement, send a written notice to our Designated Agent. Your notice must include specific details, allowing us to locate the content swiftly. It must also contain all of the following elements:

A physical or electronic signature from a person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed. Please provide precise information, such as title, author, and registration number if available.
Identification of the material on our site claimed to be infringing. Include the specific URL(s) where the material can be found.
Your contact information, including your mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
A statement that you hold a good faith belief the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
A statement that the information provided in the notice is accurate.
A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Counter-Notification Process

If your content was removed following a DMCA notice, you may submit a counter-notification. Send this directly to our Designated Agent. Your counter-notice must include:

Your physical or electronic signature.
Identification of the material that was removed and its previous location on our website, including the specific URL(s).
A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief the material was removed due to a mistake or misidentification of the material.
Your name, address, and telephone number.
A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district where your address is located. If your address is outside the United States, you consent to jurisdiction for any judicial district in which rwlynch.com may be found.
A statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notification or an agent of such person. We will then forward your counter-notification to the original claimant.

Repeat Infringer Policy

RW LYNCH maintains a strict policy regarding repeat infringers. We will terminate access to our services for users who are found to repeatedly infringe copyright. This includes blocking future content contributions or account access. We will decide, at our sole discretion, when a user qualifies as a repeat infringer.

This action ensures our platform remains respectful of intellectual property rights, consistent with our focus on professional content and legal insights. We are committed to protecting original authorship on all our published materials.
