Digital Millennium Copyright Act Policy, Notice and Takedown Procedure

It is policy to expeditiously respond to proper notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), (the text of which can be found at the U.S. Copyright Office Web Site, http://www.copyright.gov).

Mystical Night Media, Tracie Hicks, Tracie L. Hicks, and T.L. Hicks respect the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. If we receive proper notification of claimed copyright infringement, our response to such notices will include removing or disabling access to material claimed to be the subject of infringing activity and/or terminating contributors, regardless of whether we may be liable for such infringement under United States law or the laws of another jurisdiction.
