DMCA Takedown Process

Last updated: May 28, 2026

GCR Sentinel respects the intellectual property rights of others. If you are a copyright owner (or an agent authorized to act on their behalf) and you believe content available through our Service infringes your copyright, you may submit a notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512.

Designated Agent

Send all DMCA notices to: dmca@gcrsentinel.com

Subject line: "DMCA Notice"

What your notice must include

To be effective, a DMCA notice must contain:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed.
  3. Identification of the material on the Service that is claimed to be infringing, with enough detail for us to locate it — a URL, claim ID, or screenshot.
  4. Your contact information (name, address, telephone number, email).
  5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

What happens after we receive a valid notice

We will review your notice promptly. If we determine that the material identified is infringing, we will remove or disable access to it and take reasonable steps to notify the user who posted or referenced the material (if applicable). We may, in our discretion, also terminate repeat infringers.

Counter-notices

If material you posted or referenced has been removed in response to a DMCA notice and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g). Send it to the same address with the subject line "DMCA Counter-Notice." A valid counter-notice must contain:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal.
  3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed 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 you live (or, if outside the United States, the Wyoming federal district court).

False notices

Knowingly making material misrepresentations in a DMCA notice or counter-notice can subject you to liability for damages, costs, and attorneys' fees under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). When in doubt, consult an attorney.

Editorial corrections (non-DMCA)

If you are a commentator tracked by the Service and you believe a claim has been misquoted or inaccurately attributed (rather than a copyright issue), please use our editorial-correction process at contact or directly to support@gcrsentinel.com with subject line "Correction Request." See Terms of Service, Section 10.4.
