DMCA Policy

The "Illinois Basketball Coach" website respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (DMCA), the text of which may be found on the U.S. Copyright Office website, we will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed using the Illinois Basketball Coach service or website (the "Site") if such claims are reported to our Designated Copyright Agent identified below.

Filing a DMCA Infringement Notice

If you are a copyright owner, or are authorized to act on behalf of one, or authorized to act under any exclusive right under copyright, please report alleged copyright infringements taking place on or through the Site by completing the following DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement and delivering it to our Designated Copyright Agent. Upon receipt of the Notice as described below, "Illinois Basketball Coach" will take whatever action, in its sole discretion, it deems appropriate, including removal of the challenged content from the Site.

A DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement (the "Notice") must include:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work you believe to have been infringed or, if the claim involves multiple works on the Site, a representative list of such works.
  3. Identification of the material you believe to be infringing in a sufficiently precise manner to allow us to locate that material.
  4. Adequate information by which we can contact you (including your name, postal address, telephone number, and, if available, email address).
  5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement that the information in the written notice is accurate.
  7. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

DMCA Counter-Notification Process

If you believe that your content was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notification to our Designated Copyright Agent. The DMCA allows us to restore the removed content if the party filing the original DMCA Notice does not file a court action against you within ten business days of receiving the copy of your Counter-Notification.

A DMCA Counter-Notification must include:

  • Your physical or electronic signature.
  • 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.
  • A statement 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 of the material to be removed or disabled.
  • Your name, address, and telephone number.
  • 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 reside outside the United States, for any judicial district in which "Illinois Basketball Coach" may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notification or an agent of such person.
