Akram Hossain (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to respecting the intellectual property rights of creators and artists. We have a zero-tolerance policy for copyright infringement on our website and will take swift action to address any claims brought to our attention. This policy outlines the process for reporting copyright infringement and filing a counter-notice if you believe your content was mistakenly removed.
Understanding the DMCA
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a U.S. copyright law that sets forth a process for addressing online copyright infringement. This policy complies with the DMCA and ensures we respond promptly to legitimate takedown requests.
Reporting Copyright Infringement
If you are the copyright owner of material appearing on our website that you believe has been infringed, you can submit a DMCA takedown notice to our designated agent. To ensure your notice is effective, it must provide the following information:
- A Physical or Electronic Signature: An indication that the notice originates from you, the copyright owner, or someone authorized to act on your behalf.
- Description of the Copyrighted Work: A clear description of the original work you claim has been infringed, including details such as titles, authorship, or unique elements.
- Identification of Infringing Material: A specific location of the infringing material on our website. This could be a URL (https://akramhossain.com) for a specific page or a description if the content is not on a webpage.
- Contact Information: Your contact details, including your name, address, email address, and phone number. This allows us to reach you for clarification or provide updates on the takedown process.
- Good Faith Belief Statement: A declaration under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the infringing use is unauthorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- Accuracy Statement: A confirmation under penalty of perjury that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.
Submitting a DMCA Takedown Notice
Please submit your complete DMCA takedown notice to the following designated agent:
- Name:
Akram Hossain
- Email:
[email protected]
- Mailing Address:
285, Makraund, Brahmankachuri, Kishoreganj Sadar – 2300, Kishoreganj, Bangladesh.
We recommend using registered mail or a similar delivery service with confirmation of receipt for important documents like DMCA notices.
Processing Takedown Notices
Upon receiving a compliant DMCA takedown notice, we will act expeditiously to remove the allegedly infringing material. We will also send a notification to the user who uploaded the content informing them about the removal and the DMCA claim.
Filing a Counter-Notice
If you believe your content was removed from our website due to a mistake or misidentification, you can file a counter-notice. The counter-notice should include the following:
- Physical or Electronic Signature: Similar to the takedown notice, a signature indicating you are the authorized party.
- Identification of Removed Material: A description of the content that was removed and its location on the website before removal.
- Contact Information: Your name, address, email address, and phone number for communication purposes.
- Good Faith Belief Statement: A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the content was removed due to an error or misidentification.
- Consent to Jurisdiction: Your agreement to the jurisdiction of the federal court for the judicial district where you reside or, if outside the U.S., the district where the website is located.
- Service on Complaining Party: A confirmation that you have served a copy of the counter-notice to the party who submitted the original takedown notice.
We will send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party. Following a waiting period, if we don’t receive a court order from the complaining party to keep the content down, we may, at our sole discretion, reinstate the removed content.
Repeat Offenders and Termination
We take copyright infringement seriously. Users who repeatedly infringe on the intellectual property rights of others may have their access to our website terminated. This is to ensure a safe and secure environment for all users and content creators.
Changes to this DMCA Policy
We reserve the right to update this DMCA Policy at any time to reflect changes in the law or our practices. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed.
