DIGITAL MILLENNIUM COPYRIGHT ACT POLICY

 

It is the policy of The XFL Letter Editors (“XFL Letter”) to respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement. The form of notice specified below is consistent with the format suggested by the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the text of which can be found at http://www.copyright.gov).

If XFL Letter removes content or disables access to content in response to such a notice, XFL Letter will make a good faith effort to contact the provider of the affected content and give the provider the opportunity to make a counter notification.
