Copyright & DMCA Notices
How to report allegedly infringing content and what is not yet established.
Reporting a possible infringement
To report material that you believe infringes your copyright on a customer-hosted service, contact Blacktop Hosting and label the request “Copyright / DMCA.” Include a way to identify the work, the exact material or URL at issue, your contact details, and enough information to investigate.
Information for a formal US DMCA notice
Formal notices under US law have additional statutory requirements, such as a signature, identification of the work and challenged material, a good-faith statement and an accuracy/authority statement. Review the US Copyright Office’s official guidance for full requirements.
Designated-agent status
Blacktop Hosting has not yet confirmed a publicly registered DMCA designated agent or a legal service address. This page does not claim that ordinary support email is a formally registered designated agent. The owner must complete any applicable designation and publish the verified agent details before relying on statutory safe-harbor procedures.
Response and counter-notices
Requests should be reviewed for specificity and legal sufficiency. Users affected by a takedown should have access to the lawfully available dispute and counter-notification process. A completed statutory workflow requires a legal review and operational procedure.
