Counter-Notification
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) requires Downtown Boulder to notify the business identified in the Notice of Infringement form promptly when we remove any of the business’s content because of an infringement notice. The business then has the right to submit a counter-notice asking that the material be put back up. The counter-notice must contain the following items:

  • Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled;
  • A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material in question;
  • Your name, address and telephone number;
  • A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for judicial district in which your address is located or, if your address is outside of the USA, for any judicial district in which Creative Commons may be found and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted a notice in compliance with the section (c)(1)(C) of the DMCA, as generally described above;
  • Your physical or electronic signature.
