Yes, and in accordance with DMCA, the responsibility of identifying and notifying us about infringing copyrighted content lies solely in the hands of the copyright holder and/or an authorized agent. Whenever we receive a contact from a copyright holder regarding a violation of their work, we work quickly to try and remove the content, as required by law.
