DMCA Policy

Pork Ragu respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the "DMCA"), the text of which may be found on the U.S. Copyright Office website at http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf, Pork Ragu will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed using the Pork Ragu service and/or the Pork Ragu website (the "Site") if such claims are reported to Pork Ragu's Designated Copyright Agent identified below.

If you are a copyright owner, or are authorized to act on behalf of one, or authorized to act under any exclusive right under copyright, please report alleged copyright infringements taking place on or through the Site by completing the following DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement and delivering it to Pork Ragu's Designated Copyright Agent.

Filing a DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement

Upon receipt of a Notice of Alleged Infringement as described below, Pork Ragu will take whatever action, in its sole discretion, it deems appropriate, including removal of the challenged content from the Site. To file a DMCA notice, you must provide the following information in a written communication:

  1. Identify the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed, or if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works.
  2. Identify the material that you claim is infringing (or to be the subject of infringing activity) and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit Pork Ragu to locate the material (e.g., URL of the page where the material is located).
  3. Provide your contact information, including your name, postal address, telephone number, and, if available, an email address.
  4. Include a statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
