Copyright

We take copyright seriously at graffiti-generator.net, both our own and that of others. If you believe something on the site infringes your copyright, this page explains how to notify us under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. §512.

How to report infringement

Please make sure your notice includes each of these elements, as required by 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3):

1. Your signature, physical or electronic, as the owner or as a person authorised to act for the owner.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed, or a representative list if one notice covers several works.
3. Identification of the material on graffiti-generator.net that you claim is infringing, with enough detail for us to find it, ideally the full address of each page.
4. How to reach you: your name, address, telephone number and email.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
6. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or authorised to act on the owner's behalf.

Where to send it

Send notices by email to [email protected], with “DMCA notice” in the subject line. We handle notices promptly, and if a notice is valid, the material is removed or access to it is disabled. If something is missing, we may ask you for it before we can act.

Counter-notification

Anyone whose material was removed by mistake or misidentification may send a counter-notice to the same email address, containing:

• your physical or electronic signature;
• a description of the removed material and the location where it appeared;
• a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith that the removal was due to a mistake or misidentification;
• your name, address and telephone number, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, if you are outside the United States, any judicial district in which the service provider may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice.

Following a valid counter-notice, the material can be put back after 10 to 14 business days, unless we hear that the complainant has started legal proceedings.

Repeat infringers

In appropriate circumstances, anyone found to infringe copyright repeatedly will lose access to the site, even though graffiti-generator.net has no user accounts.

Before you file

Under 17 U.S.C. §512(f), anyone who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that it was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. When in doubt, for instance where fair use may apply, consider talking to a lawyer before filing.
