Sending a takedown notice
Email [email protected] with the subject "DMCA Notice" and include:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the copyrighted work you say is infringed.
- The exact URL(s) of the paste(s) on pastebins.net you want removed.
- Your name, address, telephone number and email address.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
- A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act for them.
We will remove or disable access to the material and let the user who posted it know. Incomplete notices may not be acted on. Knowingly misrepresenting that material is infringing may make you liable for damages.
Counter-notice
If your paste was removed and you believe this was a mistake or misidentification, send a counter-notice to the same address with: your signature; identification of the removed material and where it appeared; a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief it was removed by mistake or misidentification; and your name, address, telephone number and consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate court. We may restore the material in 10 to 14 business days unless the complainant tells us they have filed a court action.
Repeat infringers
We terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe copyright.
