Instructions for Filing a Copyright Violation Complaint
As an ISP, CCBill follows the procedures prescribed by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) for notification, takedown, and counter-notification. If you believe one of CCBill?s clients has infringed on your copyrights, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) outlines the specific procedures for notifying the infringing party.
In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, you must provide CCBill with ALL of the following information:
(1) A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is being infringed;
(2) Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed;
(3) Identification of the material that is allegedly infringing;
(4) The complaining party's address, telephone number and email address;
(5) A statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and
(6) A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
For your convenience, we have attached a Notice of Copyright Infringement form that contains all that required information. Please email a completed (unsigned) copy and also fax or image and email a signed copy of the Notification for our files.
With this information, CCBill can take swift and serious action against any network user which may be in violation of copyright law, however, we cannot legally be considered to be ?on notice? and thereby take any action until you have complied.
If you have any questions regarding our policies or procedures, you may
contact our registered DMCA Agent: Thomas A. Fisher, VP, CCBill (480) 449-7761 or Fax (480) 449-8814.
Thank you,

Notice of Copyright Infringement
My questions are:
If I send you one DMCA, what is your next step? Specifically what is your next step.
If the violator takes down the specific stolen content in question, is that it? You continue to process after that?
If it takes more than one DMCA notice for you to stop processing, exactly how many notices is it and in what time frame do you need them, to stop processing?
Does each notice need to be from a separate owner or can one owner file one DMCA against a violating site with multiple stolen scenes from one producer, get that scene deleted, then submit another, then another and so on?
That's all I can think of for now. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
