Peterson Foundation has designated an agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement.

Once we receive such a notice, we may remove or disable access to the material claimed to be infringing and/or, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole and absolute discretion, terminate the access of infringing users. It is our policy not to permit repeat infringers to use the website. If we remove or disable access to material in response to such a notice, we will make a good-faith attempt to contact the individual or entity who submitted it.

Pursuant to Section 512(g)(2) and (3) of the U.S. Copyright Act, as enacted through the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998, the provider of content affected by an infringement notification may make a counter-notification. When we receive a counter-notification, we may reinstate the material in question.

  2. A description of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled (e.g., the specific web page address or other unique identifying information);
