DMCA Takedown Policy

The guidelines that League of Filmmakers follows when handling DMCA takedown requests and counter requests.

If you are a copyright holder wishing to submit a takedown request, or an author that has been notified of a takedown request, please read through this page. Submitting a request or counter request confirms you understand this page and our process.

Our process is modeled after GitHub’s DMCA takedown process. All requests and counter requests will be posted at the bottom of this page. These requests will be redacted to remove all identifying information.

Takedown Process

Here are the steps of our takedown request process:

Copyright holder submits a request: This request, if valid, will be posted publicly at the bottom of this page. The author affected by the takedown request will be notified.

Author is notified: The author of the content will be asked to make changes to the content specified in the takedown request. The author will have 72 hours to make these changes.

Author acknowledges changes have been made: The author must notify LOF editorial staff once changes are made. If they are not made within 72 hours, the content will be taken down.

Copyright holder review: If the author has made changes, the copyright holder will be notified of these changes. If the changes are sufficient, no further action is required, though copyright holders are welcome to submit a formal retraction. If the changes are not sufficient, the author’s changes can be rejected.

Author submits a counter request: If the author believes their content was disabled as a result of a mistake, a counter request may be submitted. It would be advised that authors seek legal council before continuing. If the submitted counter request is sufficiently detailed, this counter will also be added to the bottom of this page.
