DMCA Copyright Policy

Last updated: 2026-08-22

Operator has not configured the DMCA Designated Agent

Before the Service is launched to the public, the Want operator must (a) register a DMCA Designated Agent with the U.S. Copyright Office at dmca.copyright.gov (filing fee US$6, renewal required every three years) and (b) set NEXT_PUBLIC_DMCA_AGENT_NAME, NEXT_PUBLIC_DMCA_AGENT_ADDRESS, NEXT_PUBLIC_DMCA_AGENT_EMAIL, and NEXT_PUBLIC_DMCA_AGENT_PHONE in the deployment environment. Failure to register removes the Section 512(c) safe harbor.

Want complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. 512). This policy explains how to send a notice of alleged copyright infringement, how the affected user can submit a counter-notice, and how we handle repeat infringers.

1. Designated Agent

DMCA Designated Agent

Name: [NEXT_PUBLIC_DMCA_AGENT_NAME not set]
Address: [NEXT_PUBLIC_DMCA_AGENT_ADDRESS not set]
Phone: [NEXT_PUBLIC_DMCA_AGENT_PHONE not set]
Email: [NEXT_PUBLIC_DMCA_AGENT_EMAIL not set]

2. How to send a DMCA takedown notice

To be effective under 17 U.S.C. 512(c)(3), your written notice must include all of the following:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, for multiple works, a representative list).
  3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and that is to be removed, with enough detail to let us locate it (include the URL and any identifiers).
  4. Your contact information: name, address, telephone number, and email address.
  5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the owner, or authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Send your notice to our Designated Agent at the address or email above. Incomplete notices may not be effective and may be returned.

3. What happens after a valid notice

  1. We will expeditiously remove or disable access to the material identified in the notice.
  2. We will take reasonable steps to notify the user who posted the material and provide them a copy of the notice.
  3. We will note the incident in our repeat-infringer records for the affected account.

4. Counter-notice

If you believe material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may send us a counter-notice under 17 U.S.C. 512(g)(3). Your counter-notice must include:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the removed material and its location before removal.
  3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if you are outside the United States, of any judicial district in which Want may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice or their agent.

5. What happens after a valid counter-notice

  1. We will promptly forward the counter-notice to the original complainant.
  2. We will restore the material in not less than ten (10) and not more than fourteen (14) business days after receiving the counter-notice, unless the complainant notifies us that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the user from infringing.

6. Repeat infringer policy

Want terminates the accounts of users found to be repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances. A user who has been the subject of three (3) valid DMCA takedown notices, or of a single egregious notice, is subject to permanent termination. We maintain internal records of notices and terminations sufficient to demonstrate compliance.

7. Misrepresentations

Under 17 U.S.C. 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees. Do not send frivolous or harassing DMCA notices.

8. Trademark and other intellectual-property complaints

For trademark, right-of-publicity, and other intellectual-property complaints outside the scope of the DMCA, contact ip@wantie.app. Include the same level of detail described in Section 2 and identify the right at issue and the basis for the complaint.
