Copyright Information
I will remove content from this site that appears to
infringe the copyright or other intellectual property
rights of other companies or individuals. If you beleive
that your copyright has been infringed by any of the
binaries on our site, please notify me at:
McCane Consulting
700 S Main St
Independence, MO 64050-4414
support@freeusenetpictures.com
You must provide me with:
- The name, address, and physical or electronic
signature of the complaining party
[DMCA 512(c)(3)(A)(i)]
- The infringing materials and their internet location
[DMCA 512(c)(3)(A)(ii-iii)]
- Sufficient information to identify the copyrighted
works [DMCA 512(c)(3)(A)(iv)]
- A statement by the owner that it has a good faith
belief that there is no legal basis for the use of the
materials complained of [DMCA 512(c)(3)(A)(v)]
- A statement of the accuracy of the notice and,
under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is
authorized to act on the behalf of the owner.
[DMCA 512(c)(3)(A)(vi)]
If you work for a site that contains a lot of copyrighted
material and would like me to block your images, please
contact me.
I have a method for automatically blocking all of your
original files if they are posted to a newsgroup. However,
if the poster has modified a file before posting it, I
cannot block it automatically.
Just for the record I didn't post any of these binaries.
I provide access to all of the headers that came with the
binaries on my site. Before you do anything make sure to
make a copy of the headers. Once I remove the binary from
my site I cannot retrieve any of the header information.
Unfortunately, because of the way that Usenet works (and
because there are so many services that allow anonymous
posting) the headers might not help.
Specifically, you need to look for the
Abuse,
Complaint, and
X-DMCA-Notifications
headers. These will give you information about how to
contact the service provider that the poster used to put
your materials up on Usenet. Hopefully, you and the
service provider, working together, can find enough
information to track down the original poster.
Finally, owning copyright on split binaries or files which
can be used to repair an incomplete posting (such as
parchive files which use reed-solomon to allow building of
files with missing parts) is a confusing subject. If it
is necessary for the end user (my visitors) to combine
the parts from my site to get your copyrighted material,
I am not sure what the rules are. My understanding is
that having these split files is not a copyright
violation, but an end user combining them might
violate the copyright, an end user viewing the combined
files is definitely a copyright violation. I have
looked at the
DMCA
information and I am still not entirely clear on this point.
If anyone out there has definitive information which is
contrary to my understanding, I would be happy to read it.
