TŌT respects intellectual property rights. If you believe content on TŌT infringes your copyright, you can submit a takedown notice as described below.
Submitting a copyright complaint
Send the following information to dave@voteontot.com:
- identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed;
- the location (URL) of the allegedly infringing material on TŌT;
- your name, address, telephone number and email address;
- a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law;
- a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf;
- your physical or electronic signature.
Counter-notice
If your content was removed and you believe it was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the same address including:
- identification of the material that was removed and where it appeared;
- your name, address, telephone number and email address;
- a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification;
- a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your judicial district (or, if outside the United States, the District of Massachusetts);
- your physical or electronic signature.
Repeat infringers
TŌT may terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.
Implementation note (for the operator)
Formal DMCA safe-harbor positioning also requires the business to designate and register an agent with the U.S. Copyright Office (copyright.gov/dmca-directory) and to publish the registered agent’s contact details here. No agent has been registered yet, and this page intentionally does not claim one. A business mailing/agent address for the public DMCA contact section is also still needed — a personal home address must not be used.
