This is proposed template documentation for a proposed DMCA takedown template.



Copyright holders have the right, established under the Digital Millenium Copyright Act to request that material be removed from websites, if they believe it infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. Such a request is called a Notice from Coypright Owner or simply "takedown notice." When the WMF receives such a notice, it evaluates and acts on it, deleting the content or image in a speedy fashion. When an image is removed, it will generally leave a blank spot (such as in image galleries), or a red link, in article pages which included it.

To indicate that the image was taken down by DMCA takedown request,
 * Anyone can insert a tag, followed immediately by an inline citation of the reliable source reporting the notice, such as Chilling Effects or Electronic Freedom Foundation.
 * On the Talk page, please add a note with 1) link to the take down notice 2) link to deletion discussion (if any, there might be no discussion if a speedy deletion tag was applied)
