Copyright and DMCA Policy

Diduno lets users post finds, forum posts, replies and profile pictures. We respect copyright and respond to notices that follow the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. 512. This policy is part of the Terms of Service.

1. Designated agent

Notices go to our designated agent:

Send notices by email to [email protected] with the subject "Copyright notice". We do not accept service of legal process by email unless we confirm in writing.

2. How to send a takedown notice

If you believe content on Diduno infringes your copyright, send a written notice to the agent above that includes all of these (17 U.S.C. 512(c)(3)):

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act for the owner.
2. A description of the copyrighted work you say was infringed (or a list, if one notice covers several).
3. A description of the material you say infringes and where it is on Diduno (the page address), enough for us to find it.
4. Your name, address, telephone number and email.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
6. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner.

A notice missing these elements may not be acted on. Knowingly sending a false notice can make you liable for damages and fees (17 U.S.C. 512(f)). Consider whether the use is fair use before you send a notice.

3. What we do

• We review a notice that has the required elements and, when it is valid, remove or disable the material quickly.
• We tell the user who posted it, by writing from [email protected] to the school email on the account, and we give them a copy of the notice. The copy includes the sender's name and contact details, so send only what you are willing to have forwarded.
• Removal uses our existing admin tools (delete, remove a picture).
• We keep a record of notices and our actions.

Diduno does not screen posts in advance.

4. Counter-notice

If your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake or that you have the right to use the material, send the agent a counter-notice that includes (17 U.S.C. 512(g)(3)):

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. A description of the material removed and where it was before removal.
3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief it was removed by mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address and phone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your address (or, if outside the U.S., for any judicial district where Diduno can be found), and that you will accept service from the person who sent the notice.

We pass the counter-notice to the complaining party. Unless they tell us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action, we may restore the material no sooner than 10 and no later than 14 business days after we receive the counter-notice.

5. Repeat infringers

Diduno's policy is to end the access of users who are repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances. In practice: an account with repeated valid takedown notices (we start from two valid notices that were not successfully counter-noticed) is banned using our moderation tools. A ban ends the session, blocks sign-in and is recorded in the moderation log. We apply the rule consistently and may act sooner for serious cases. Users can appeal at [email protected].

6. Other rights and content gathered from other sites

Diduno shows information collected from public sources. If you own that content and want it changed or removed, use the same process. For trademark, privacy or other complaints, write to [email protected].

7. Intimate images posted without consent

This is not a copyright matter. If an intimate image of you was posted without your consent, email [email protected] with the page address and the subject "Image removal". We will remove it within 48 hours of a valid request.

8. Changes

We may update this policy and will change the date when we do.
