Copyright Policy

23 Daggers respects the intellectual property rights of artists. If you believe content posted on the platform infringes your copyright, you can submit a takedown notice using the process below. We respond to valid notices promptly.

Reporting infringement (DMCA notice)

Send a written notice to our designated copyright agent that includes the following information:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
  3. Identification of the material on 23 Daggers that you claim is infringing, with enough detail for us to find it (the full URL of the piece is best).
  4. Your contact information: name, address, telephone number, and email address.
  5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

What happens after we receive a valid notice

  1. We remove or disable access to the material identified in the notice.
  2. We notify the artist who posted the material and provide them with a copy of your notice.
  3. We track the notice against the artist's account. Repeat infringers have their accounts terminated.
  4. The artist may submit a counter-notice (see below). If they do, we forward it to you and may restore the content after 10-14 business days unless you file a court action.

Counter-notice

If your content was removed and you believe the takedown was mistaken or based on misidentification, you can submit a counter-notice. A valid counter-notice must include:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the material that was removed and where it appeared before removal.
  3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for the judicial district in which your address is located, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notice.

Send counter-notices to the same designated agent address above.

Repeat infringer policy

We terminate the accounts of artists who repeatedly post infringing material, in accordance with 17 USC § 512(i). "Repeat" generally means three or more valid takedowns within a rolling 12-month window, but we evaluate each case based on its facts.

Misrepresentation warning

17 USC § 512(f) creates liability for any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing or was removed by mistake. False notices and false counter-notices can both expose you to damages and attorneys' fees. Don't send a takedown notice for content you don't own or have a good-faith belief is infringing.
