DIGITAL MILLENNIUM COPYRIGHT ACT NOTICE PROCEDURES (Opt. 1)
To file a notice of infringement with us, you must provide a written communication (by fax or regular mail -- not by email, except by prior agreement) that sets forth the items specified below.

Please note that you will be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys' fees) if you materially misrepresent that a product or activity is infringing your copyrights. Indeed, in a recent case (please see http://www.onlinepolicy.org/action/legpolicy/opg_v_diebold for more information), a company that sent an infringement notification seeking removal of online materials that were protected by the fair use doctrine was ordered to pay such costs and attorneys’ fees. The company agreed to pay over $100,000.

Accordingly, if you are not sure whether material available online infringes your copyright, we suggest that you first contact an attorney.

Please note that we may post your notification, with personally identifiable information redacted, to a clearinghouse such as chillingeffects.org.

To expedite our ability to process your request, please use the following format:

Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed. If multiple copyrighted works at the Site are covered by a single notification, provide a representative list of such works.
Identify the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity. Include information reasonably sufficient to permit SlideShare to locate the material. Please provide a URL for each page. Include the page(s) that you claim to be infringing.
Information reasonably sufficient to permit Power Presentations to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail.
