Copyright Policy
Poli-line respects the intellectual property of others and expects members to do the same. We respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512.
Reporting infringement
If you believe content on Poli-line infringes a copyright you own or are authorized to enforce, send a written notice to our designated agent that includes:
1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work you believe is infringed.
3. The link(s) to the content on Poli-line you want removed, with enough detail for us to find it.
4. Your name, mailing address, phone number and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
Members can also use Report → Copyright infringement on any post, reel, comment, profile or page, but a complete written notice to our agent is required for us to act under the DMCA.

If we receive a valid counter-notice, we forward it to the person who filed the original notice and may restore the content in 10 to 14 business days unless they tell us they have filed a court action.
