DMCA Copyright Infringement Policy
Last updated: February 2026
LPM respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects our users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (17 U.S.C. § 512) ("DMCA"), we will respond promptly to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the DMCA and are properly submitted to our designated agent.
1. Filing a DMCA Takedown Notice
If you believe that content hosted on LPM infringes your copyright, you may submit a takedown notice to our designated agent. Your notice must include all of the following:
-
Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed, or a representative list if multiple works are covered by a single notification.
-
Identification of the infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to allow us to locate it on our service (e.g., the package name and version, or the URL of the package page).
-
Your contact information, including your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
-
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.
-
A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notification is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
-
Your physical or electronic signature (typing your full legal name counts as an electronic signature).
Where to Send Notices
Send your DMCA takedown notice to:
- Email: [email protected]
- Subject line: DMCA Takedown Notice
2. What Happens After a Takedown Notice
Upon receiving a valid DMCA takedown notice, we will:
- Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material promptly.
- Notify the user who published the content that their material has been removed and provide a copy of the takedown notice.
- Record the incident in our internal audit log.
3. Filing a Counter-Notification
If you believe your content was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to our designated agent. Your counter-notification must include:
-
Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal (e.g., the package name and version).
-
A statement, made 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.
-
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 outside the United States, any judicial district in which LPM may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original takedown notice.
-
Your physical or electronic signature.
What Happens After a Counter-Notification
Upon receiving a valid counter-notification, we will:
- Forward a copy to the original complainant.
- Inform the complainant that the removed material will be restored in 10 business days.
- Restore the material within 10 to 14 business days after receiving the counter-notification, unless the complainant notifies us that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the user from the infringing activity.
4. Repeat Infringers
LPM will terminate the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances. A repeat infringer is a user who has been the subject of more than one valid DMCA takedown notice. We may also terminate accounts based on a single instance of egregious infringement at our sole discretion.
5. Misrepresentation Warning
Under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be subject to liability for damages, including costs and attorney's fees.
Please do not make false claims. Before submitting a takedown notice, consider whether the use of the material may constitute fair use.
6. Designated Agent
Our designated agent for receiving DMCA notices is:
- Email: [email protected]
- Service: LPM (Licensed Package Manager)
