Procedure for Making Claims of Copyright Infringement Mosaic Security Research has adopted the following policy, in compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), to enable, at Mosaic Security Research’s sole discretion, the expeditious removal of infringing material and the termination of the usernames and access of users who qualify as repeat infringers. Notification of Copyright Infringement Procedures Policy If you have a good faith belief that your copyright is being infringed by any material on the website, please send a Notice of Claimed Infringement, including the information listed below, to Mosaic Security Research’s Designated Copyright Agent:
  • Designated Agent: Mr. Lucas Samaras
  • Address: 4938 Hampden Ln., #552, Bethesda, MD 20814
  • Phone: (202) 670-3005
  • Fax: (202) 706-6043
  • Email: [email protected]
To ensure compliance with DMCA guidelines, the Notice of Claimed Infringement must conform to the following requirements:
  • A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
  • Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works;
  • Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity that is to be removed, or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit Mosaic Security Research to locate the material (providing URLs in the body of an email is the best way to help us locate the content quickly);
  • Information reasonably sufficient to permit Mosaic Security Research to contact the complaining party, such as address, telephone, fax, and/or an email address at which the complaining party may be contacted;
  • A statement that the complaining party has 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 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;
Please note that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability for damages. Additionally, please also note that information provided in this legal notice may be forwarded to the person who provided the allegedly infringing content. Counter-Notification Procedures Policy Mosaic Security Research has also instituted a Counter-Notification policy designed to enable, at Mosaic Security Research’s sole discretion, the prompt replacement of material that is removed in response to a Notice of Claimed Infringement as a result of a mistake or misidentification. Please make sure that any Counter-Notification you send to Mosaic Security Research’s Designated Copyright Agent, identified above, includes all of the following information:
  • A physical or electronic signature of the account holder;
  • An identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled (providing URLs in the body of an email is the best way to help us locate content quickly);
  • The statement, “I swear, under penalty of perjury, that I have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled”;
  • The statement, “I consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the district in which my address is located, or if my address is outside the United States, the judicial district in which Mosaic Security Research is located, and I will accept service of process from the claimant”;
  • The name, address, telephone number, and verified email address of the account holder.
Mosaic Security Research can only accept a Counter-Notification directly from the user whose account content has been disabled. For verification, Mosaic Security Research requires that Counter-Notifications be submitted from the email address associated with the account. After Mosaic Security Research receives your Counter-Notification, we will forward it to the party who submitted the original Notice of Claimed Infringement. Please note that when we forward the Counter-Notification, it includes your personal information. By submitting a Counter-Notification, you consent to having your information revealed in this way. We will not forward the Counter-Notification to any party other than the original claimant. After Mosaic Security Research sends out the Counter-Notification, the claimant must then notify us within ten (10) business days that he or she has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain you from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on Mosaic Security Research. If we receive such notification we will be unable to restore the material. If we do not receive such notification, we may reinstate the material.
