DMCA takedown procedure

Last updated 2026-04-27.

Spine respects copyright. If you believe content available on Spine infringes a copyright you own or are authorized to enforce, you may submit a takedown notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. §512(c). This page describes the procedure, the elements your notice must include, and how we will respond.

Where to send notices

Designated agent email: support@rodyr.com. Postal mail: Rodyr, Inc., 1111B S Governors Ave Suite 55111, Dover, DE 19904, United States.

Registered with the US Copyright Office. Agent ID: DMCA-1071979. Lookup: dmca.copyright.gov/osp.

Required elements (17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3))

Your notice must contain all of the following, or it will be rejected as facially deficient:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, for multiple works at a single site, a representative list).
  3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate it (a Spine URL is best).
  4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you: address, telephone number, and an email address.
  5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Our response timeline

  • Acknowledgement: within 24 hours of receipt, we email a reference id to the notifier.
  • Decision: within 72 hours of acknowledgement, we either remove or disable access to the material, request additional information, or reject the notice with a written reason.
  • Notification of the affected user: when we disable access, the uploader is notified via the email on file along with a copy of the notice and the counter-notice procedure below.

Counter-notice procedure

If your material was removed and you believe the removal was in error, you may submit a counter-notice under 17 U.S.C. §512(g). Send it to the same address. It must include your physical or electronic signature, an identification of the material removed and its prior location, a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification, and your name, address, telephone number, and consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for the judicial district in which you live (or, if outside the U.S., the Northern District of California). Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original notifier; if no court order to keep the material down is received within ten business days, the material may be restored.

Repeat infringers

We terminate accounts that, in our reasonable judgment, are repeat infringers. We log all takedowns against the responsible account.

Misrepresentation

Knowingly submitting a false notice or counter-notice exposes you to liability under 17 U.S.C. §512(f), including damages, costs, and attorney's fees. Please don't.
