A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;

Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site;

Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled and information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to locate the material;

Information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail;

A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and

A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

ManageYourNews's designated Copyright Agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement is: Jeff Feigelson, Esq., P.O. Box 699, Millbrook, NY 12545, email: jfeigelson@hughes.net, fax: 212-401-4787. For clarity, only DMCA notices should go to the Copyright Agent; any other feedback, comments, requests for technical support, and other communications should be directed to ManageYourNews customer service as set forth on the Website. You acknowledge that if you fail to comply with all of the requirements of this Section, your DMCA notice may not be valid.

B. Counter-Notice. If we receive a notice of infringement sent to our designated agent with the information described above, we will expeditiously remove or block access to the material that is claimed be infringing (or we will, at our option, merely post excerpts from the infringing material). We will also send a notification to the user who posted the material, at the email or physical address provided by the user, telling the user of the alleged infringement. If the user believes that your User Submission that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or pursuant to the law, to post and use the content in your User Submission, you may send a counter-notice containing the following information to the Copyright Agent:

Your physical or electronic signature;

Identification of the User Submission that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the User Submission appeared before it was removed or disabled;

A statement that you have a good faith belief that the User Submission was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the content; and

Your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court having jurisdiction over Dutchess County, New York and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.

If a counter-notice is received by the Copyright Agent, ManageYourNews may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that it may replace the removed User Submission or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, member or user, the removed User Submission may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at ManageYourNews's sole discretion.
