At Morris County News, we respect the intellectual property rights of others and are committed to ensuring that content on our website does not infringe on the copyrights of third parties. This Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Takedown Policy outlines the process for submitting a notice if you believe that content on our site infringes your copyright, and how we will handle such requests.

If you believe that your copyrighted material has been posted on our website without authorization, please follow the steps outlined below to submit a DMCA takedown notice.

1. DMCA Takedown Notice Procedure

To submit a DMCA takedown notice, please send a written notice containing the following information to our designated Copyright Agent:

  • Identification of the copyrighted work(s) that you claim has been infringed: Please provide a description of the copyrighted work that you believe has been infringed, or, if multiple works are covered by the same notice, a representative list of such works.
  • Identification of the material that you claim is infringing: Please provide the URL(s) of the page(s) on our website where the infringing material is located.
  • Your contact information: Please provide your full legal name, address, telephone number, and email address where we can contact you.
  • A statement of good faith belief: A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  • A statement under penalty of perjury: A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf.
  • Your electronic or physical signature: The signature of the copyright owner or the person authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf.

Once we receive a valid DMCA takedown notice, we will investigate the claim and, if warranted, remove or disable access to the infringing content in compliance with the DMCA.

2. Counter-Notice Procedure

If you believe that your content was removed or disabled due to a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to our Copyright Agent. To do so, please provide the following information:

  • Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled: Please provide the URL(s) where the material appeared before it was removed.
  • Your contact information: Your full legal name, address, telephone number, and email address.
  • A statement of good faith belief: A statement that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material.
  • A statement under penalty of perjury: A statement that the information in your counter-notice is accurate and that you have the authority to submit the counter-notice.
  • Your electronic or physical signature: The signature of the person submitting the counter-notice.

If we receive a valid counter-notice, we may restore the content in question within 10 to 14 business days, unless the copyright owner files a court action to prevent the restoration of the material.
