CREscope

DMCA Policy

Last updated: 2026-05-13

Pre-launch pilot draft. CREscope is in private pilot. Operational fields marked [PENDING] are completed prior to public launch and the start of subscription billing. This page is the working draft used during pilot.

CREscope intends to follow notice-and-counter-notice procedures modeled on the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. §512. Designation of a copyright agent with the U.S. Copyright Office is pending (see Section 1). The §512 safe harbor depends on completed Copyright Office registration; until registration is complete, our handling of copyright takedown requests is operational rather than a statement of safe-harbor status. This page describes how to submit a takedown request, how we respond, and how a user whose content was removed may submit a counter-request.

1. Designated Copyright Agent

Copyright Office registration planned. CREscope plans to register a Designated Copyright Agent with the U.S. Copyright Office under 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(2). Until that registration is filed and accepted, the agent’s legal name, physical mailing address, and phone are not yet on file with the Office; send DMCA notices by email to dmca@crescope.com. Once the Office record is established, the official agent details will appear here alongside the email.

2. Filing a DMCA Notice of Infringement

A compliant notice must include the elements specified in 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3). Send it to dmca@crescope.com and include:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of the owner (or person authorized to act on behalf of the owner) of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or a representative list if multiple works on the Service are covered by a single notice.
  3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and the location on the Service where the material is found, with enough detail for us to locate it.
  4. Your contact information (name, mailing address, telephone, email).
  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 notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Knowing misrepresentations.Under 17 U.S.C. §512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, incurred by the alleged infringer or service provider. Do not submit a DMCA notice in bad faith.

3. CREscope’s Response

On receipt of a compliant DMCA notice:

  1. We will remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material expeditiously.
  2. We will notify the user who uploaded the material and provide them with a copy of the notice.
  3. The user may submit a §512(g) counter-notice (see Section 4).
  4. On receipt of a compliant counter-notice, we will forward it to the complainant and restore access in 10 to 14 business days unless the complainant files suit seeking a court order against the user.

4. Counter-Notice

If your content was removed and you believe it was removed in error or as a result of misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to dmca@crescope.com containing:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. 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 access was disabled.
  3. 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.
  4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which the service provider may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification under §512(c)(1)(C) or an agent of such person.

5. Repeat-Infringer Policy

Consistent with 17 U.S.C. §512(i), CREscope may terminate accounts of users who are repeat copyright infringers. We consider factors including the number of DMCA notices received in connection with the account, the time period over which they were received, and whether the user has provided compliant counter-notices or otherwise contested the notices in good faith.

6. Prohibited Uploads

You may not upload to the Service:

  • Content you lack the rights to use, share, or store.
  • Privileged material, attorney-client communications, or attorney work-product.
  • Biometric identifiers or biometric information.
  • HIPAA-protected health information.
  • Children’s personal information (under 13).
  • Content regulated by U.S. export control or sanctions.
  • Malicious code, executables, or content designed to harm.

See the Terms of Service for the full acceptable-use policy and Privacy Policy for how we handle uploaded content.

7. Our Right to Remove

We may remove user-uploaded content without prior notice when the content violates these Terms or applicable law, when a regulator or court orders removal, when the content poses a security or safety risk, or when the user account is terminated. CREscope is not obligated to monitor user uploads but may do so at its discretion.
