Notice of Claimed Infringement
**Important–Please Read**
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act governs all photo complaints where an individual who either owns (or represents the owner of copyrighted material, usually photos) is claiming that someone has misused their copyrighted materials without permission. If you are the copyright holder (or a representative) and you would like to make an infringement complaint (or counter an infringement complaint) about content on our site, please skip down to the “DMCA Notice” below, and follow the instructions.
If you are NOT the copyright holder (i.e. you don’t own the pictures) but would like to bring to our attention the potential misuse of photos, please click on the link labeled “Photo Complaint” below.
Please include with your email any links or corresponding info that will help us determine whether or not the photos are being used properly. We will investigate any complaint that provides us with sufficient information.
However, please note that unless we are able to determine with a high degree of certainty that the image in question is not being used properly, then we might not be able to take all requested actions. Therefore, the more information you can provide to us at the link below, the more likely it will be that we may be able to act upon the information.
