NOTICE AND PROCEDURE FOR MAKING CLAIMS OF COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT

DrinkingSongs.net may be required to disclose information to individuals asserting rights under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and you expressly authorize DrinkingSongs.net to comply with any and all lawful notices, subpoenas, court orders or warrants without prior notice to you.

DrinkingSongs.net will investigate notices of copyright infringement and take appropriate actions. If you believe that your work has been used or copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement and such infringement is occurring on or through the Sites or the Services, please notify DrinkingSongs.net's Copyright Agent identified below. Please note that you will be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys' fees) if you materially misrepresent that a product or activity is infringing your copyrights. In a recent case (please see http://www.onlinepolicy.org/action/legpolicy/opg_v_diebold/ for more information), a company that sent an infringement notification seeking removal of online materials that were protected by the fair use doctrine was ordered to pay such costs and attorneys fees. The company agreed to pay over $100,000. Accordingly, if you are not sure whether material available online infringes your copyright, we suggest that you first contact an attorney.

A notification of claimed infringement must be a written communication addressed to the DrinkingSongs.net Copyright Agent set forth below (the "Notice"), and must include the following:

* a signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright interest that is alleged to have been infringed;
* a description of the copyrighted work or works that you claim have been infringed, including their exact name (if any). The description and name should be in sufficient detail so that we can identify the work;
* a description of where the infringing work is located on the applicable Site. Specifically, this requires you to provide the URL for each allegedly infringing search result. You would provide the following information:

      Infringing Web Pages: www.drinkingsongs.net/filename.htm

* information sufficient to permit DrinkingSongs.net to contact you, such as your physical address, telephone number and email address;
* a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material identified in your Notice in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
* a statement by you that the information in your Notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf.

Pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, DrinkingSongs.net will remove allegedly infringing material from the applicable Site upon receipt of a notice which complies with the requirements of this section. If the allegedly infringing material is a link which is displayed through the Services, DrinkingSongs.net will remove the link, however, because of DrinkingSongs.net's and its licensors' automated search technologies, such links could possibly reappear after DrinkingSongs.net has removed them. DrinkingSongs.net therefore recommends that if you are sending a Notice with regard to a link, you should also send a notice to the linked site that is displaying the allegedly infringing material.

If you receive a Notice and you believe that you have the right to display the allegedly infringing work, you may send DrinkingSongs.net a counter-notice pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (a "Counter-Notice"). We will provide a copy of your Counter-Notice to the party that sent the Notice you are responding to.

A Counter-Notice must be a written communication addressed to the DrinkingSongs.net Copyright Agent set forth below and include the following:

* a signature of the person sending the Counter-Notice;
* identification of the work which was removed or disabled; and where such work was located on the Site(s) before it was removed or disabled;
* a statement by you under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the work 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; and
* If your address is in the United States, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the district in which your address is located, or if your address is outside of the United States, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court located in Saint Louis, Missouri, USA, and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the Notice.

To reach DrinkingSongs.net's Copyright Agent for Notice of claims of copyright infringement or counter-notifications:

Copyright Agent
DrinkingSongs.net
710 N. Tucker W-6
Saint Louis, MO 63103

The Copyright Agent should only be contacted if you believe that your work has been used or copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement and such infringement is occurring on or through the Sites or the Services or if you have received a notice of alleged copyright infringement and you are sending a counter-notice. All other inquiries directed to the Copyright Agent will not be responded to.
