DMCA Policy

How to report copyright infringement on VerseFlash under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

Overview

VerseFlash respects the intellectual-property rights of others and expects users to do the same. The King James Version Bible text used by the Service is in the public domain. Most other content in VerseFlash is either created by us (the app, design, software) or generated by users (transcripts of audio you've captured, the scripture detections produced from those transcripts).

If you believe content surfaced through the Service infringes your copyright, this page explains how to send a takedown notice and how a user can respond if their content is removed.

Filing a takedown notice

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your notice must include all of the following. Notices that are missing any of these elements may not be actionable.

  1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or someone authorised to act on their behalf.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or a representative list, if multiple works at the same site).
  3. Identification of the material that is allegedly infringing and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate it (account email, session ID or timestamp, URL, or screenshot).
  4. Your contact information: full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
  5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act on their behalf.

Where to send notices

What happens after we receive a notice

1 · We review the notice

For completeness against § 512(c)(3) and to confirm the targeted material is actually on the Service.

2 · We remove or disable access

If the notice is valid we remove or disable access to the material expeditiously and notify the user who posted it.

3 · The user may counter-notice

The user can submit a counter-notice. If they do, we share their counter-notice with you and may restore the material in 10 - 14 business days unless you file a court action.

4 · Repeat infringers

Accounts that receive multiple valid takedown notices will be terminated in accordance with § 512(i).

Filing a counter-notice

If your content was removed and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you can send a counter-notice that includes:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the material that was removed and the location at which it appeared before removal.
  3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification.
  4. Your name, address, telephone number, and a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, if outside the US, of any judicial district in which we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the original notifier.

Send counter-notices to [email protected].

Bad-faith notices

Section 512(f) of the DMCA imposes liability for knowingly misrepresenting that material is infringing or was removed by mistake. Don't file a notice unless you're confident in your claim.
