The recording, production, editing, publication, and distribution of interviews may be governed by separate guest agreements, contributor agreements, licenses, or releases.

Whether the proposed use is commercial or noncommercial.
The requesting individual's or organization's contact information.

We cannot grant permission for materials owned by third parties unless we are authorized to do so.

7. Reporting Copyright Infringement

Duae Stellae Media, LLC respects the intellectual property rights of others and takes allegations of copyright infringement seriously.

If you believe that material appearing on the Texas Women In Music website infringes a copyright that you own or are authorized to enforce, you may submit a written infringement notice.

Your notice should include the following information, consistent with 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3):

Your physical or electronic signature, or the signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed or, for multiple works at a single online site, a representative list of those works.
Identification of the allegedly infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to allow us to locate it, such as a direct URL.
Your name and contact information, including an email address and other reasonably available contact details.
A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, the owner's agent, or the law.
A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right allegedly infringed.

This contact is provided for copyright-related reports. It should not be represented as a formally registered DMCA designated agent unless the applicable registration has been completed.

8. Review and Response to Infringement Notices

Upon receiving a sufficiently detailed infringement notice, we may:

Review the identified material and the circumstances of its use.
Request additional information when necessary.
Remove or disable access to material when appropriate.
Contact the contributor or other party responsible for the material.
Take additional steps required by applicable law.

Submitting a notice does not guarantee that the identified material will be removed.

We may decline requests that do not establish a sufficient basis for action, including requests concerning uses authorized by law.

We will handle valid notices in accordance with applicable legal obligations.

9. Counter-Notifications

If material has been removed or disabled in response to a copyright complaint and you believe the removal resulted from a mistake or misidentification, you may contact us to request review.

Where the statutory DMCA counter-notification process applies, a counter-notification must include the information required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3), including:

Your physical or electronic signature.
Identification of the material removed or disabled and its location before removal.
A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled because of a mistake or misidentification.
Your name, address, and telephone number.
A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the appropriate United States federal district court, as specified by law, and agreeing to accept service of process from the party who submitted the original notice or that party's agent.

Counter-Notification Contact:
Email: info@texaswomeninmusic.com

Where applicable, we will follow the statutory process for forwarding counter-notifications and restoring material.

We may also review requests for reconsideration outside the formal DMCA counter-notification process when appropriate.

10. Repeat Infringement

Where applicable, Duae Stellae Media, LLC maintains a policy for addressing repeat copyright infringement by users or contributors.

We may suspend or terminate access or submission privileges for individuals who repeatedly infringe the intellectual property rights of others, in appropriate circumstances and consistent with applicable law.

We may also reject future submissions from contributors who repeatedly provide material without the necessary rights or permissions.

11. Misrepresentations in Copyright Complaints

Individuals submitting infringement notices or counter-notifications should ensure that their statements are accurate and made in good faith.

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), knowingly making material misrepresentations concerning copyright infringement or removal by mistake or misidentification may result in legal liability.

Before submitting a complaint, copyright owners should consider whether the disputed use is authorized by the copyright owner, a license, or applicable law, including fair use.

12. DMCA Designated Agent

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act provides certain limitations on liability for qualifying online service providers that satisfy applicable statutory requirements.

Where relevant, those requirements may include designating an agent to receive copyright infringement notifications, making the agent's contact information publicly available, registering the agent with the United States Copyright Office, and maintaining an appropriate repeat-infringer policy.

DMCA Designated Agent Status: Not yet designated

Until a designated agent is formally registered, the copyright infringement contact listed in Section 7 may receive general copyright complaints but should not be described as a Copyright Office-registered DMCA agent.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Copyright Notice & DMCA Policy to reflect changes in our publications, content distribution, rights-management practices, or applicable laws.

Updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
