DMCA takedown procedure.

Last updated 2026-05-17.

DraftProse respects copyright. If you believe content available on DraftProse infringes a copyright you own, you may submit a takedown notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. §512(c). This page describes the procedure, the elements your notice must include, and how we will respond.

Where to send notices

Designated agent email: dmca@argonode.studio
Postal mail: Rodyr, Inc., 1111B S Governors Ave Suite 55111, Dover, DE 19904, United States.

Registered with the US Copyright Office. Agent ID: DMCA-1071979. Lookup: dmca.copyright.gov/osp.

Required elements (17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3))

Your notice must contain all of the following, or it will be rejected as facially deficient:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorised to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, for multiple works at a single site, a representative list).
  3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate it (a DraftProse URL is best).
  4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you: address, telephone number, and an email address.
  5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorised to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Our response timeline

  • Acknowledgement: within 24 hours of receipt, we email a reference id to the notifier.
  • Decision: within 72 hours of acknowledgement, we either remove or disable access to the material, request additional information, or reject the notice with a written reason.
  • Notification of the affected user: when we disable access, the uploader is notified via the email on file along with a copy of the notice and the counter-notice procedure below.

Counter-notice procedure

If your material was removed and you believe the removal was in error, you may submit a counter-notice under 17 U.S.C. §512(g). Send it to the same address. It must include your signature, identification of the material removed and its prior location, a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification, your name, address, telephone number, and consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for the judicial district in which you live (or, if outside the U.S., the Northern District of California). If no court order to keep the material down is received within ten business days, the material may be restored.

Repeat infringers

We terminate accounts that, in our reasonable judgement, are repeat infringers. We log all takedowns against the responsible account.

Misrepresentation

Knowingly submitting a false notice or counter-notice exposes you to liability under 17 U.S.C. §512(f), including damages, costs, and attorney's fees. Please do not.
