Notice and Procedure For Making Claims of Copyright Infringement 

It is the policy of Scoop Media Inc. (“Scoop Media”) to respond to notifications of alleged copyright infringement, in compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) and other applicable laws.  Our response to these notifications may include removing or disabling access to material claimed to be the subject of infringing activity and/or terminating a user’s ability to post on the site where applicable.  If material is removed pursuant to a notification of alleged copyright infringement, Scoop Media will make a good-faith attempt to contact the individual or individuals responsible for uploading the affected material or post so that they may make a counter notification.   We may also document notices of alleged infringement on which we act.  Your complaint will also be a matter of record.

Notification 

Pursuant to the DMCA, notifications of claimed copyright infringement must be sent to Scoop Media’s designated Copyright Agent.  Such notification may be submitted electronic or in hand-written form.  Scoop’s designated DMCA Copyright Agent to receive such notifications is:
