DMCA Policy

Ken Jennings Debut respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. This Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") Policy outlines the procedures for copyright owners and their agents to notify us of alleged copyright infringement, and for users to submit counter-notifications when their content has been removed in error.

It is our policy to respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the DMCA. If you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement and is accessible via the Ken Jennings Debut service, please notify our Designated Copyright Agent as set forth below.

Filing a DMCA Copyright Infringement Notice

If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and believe that any content hosted on Ken Jennings Debut infringes upon your copyrights, you may submit a written notification pursuant to the DMCA by providing our Designated Copyright Agent with the following information in writing (see 17 U.S.C. Section 512(c)(3) for further detail):

  1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized 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, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site.
  3. 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 Ken Jennings Debut to locate the material.
  4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit Ken Jennings Debut to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.

Our Designated Copyright Agent for notice of claims of copyright infringement can be reached via the contact information provided on our contact page.

Filing a DMCA Counter-Notification

If you believe that your content 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 material, you may send a counter-notification containing the following information to our Designated Copyright Agent:

  • Your physical or electronic signature.
  • Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled.
  • A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material.
  • Your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
  • A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in [Insert District/State of Your Location or Ken Jennings Debut's Location, e.g., the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or if your address is outside of the U.S., for any judicial district in which Ken Jennings Debut may be found], and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notification of the alleged infringement.

If a counter-notification is received by our Designated Copyright Agent, Ken Jennings Debut may send a copy of the counter-notification to the original complaining party informing that person that Ken Jennings Debut may replace the removed material 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 material may be replaced or access to it restored in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notification, at Ken Jennings Debut's sole discretion.
