What if I get an intellectual property complaint (DMCA) notification?

If you've gotten a notification that one of your posts has been removed for a copyright or trademark complaint, it means the content owner asked us to remove it. If you want us to forward the information from the complaint notification, just email us at [email protected] to let us know (we may remove some personal contact information).

In our sole discretion, if your account gets too many copyright complaints, you could lose the ability to post on Allnurses.com, Inc, or we may ban your account altogether.

If you think we made a mistake removing your post, you can file a counter-notice. When we get a valid counter-notice, we'll remove the complaint from your account's record. Note: There are legal and financial consequences for fraudulent or bad faith counter-notices. Before submitting a counter-notice, make sure you have a good faith belief that we removed the content in error, and that you understand the repercussions of submitting a false claim.

How to file a counter-notice

  1. Your name, address and phone number.
  2. The DMCA ID found at the bottom of the notification email.

  4. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed in error.
