Religious Science Online Copyright Policy Pursuant to Digital Millennium Copyright Act Please read this entire page before
sending any emails regarding copyright or intellectual
property claims. We are here to promote the teachings of
Science of Mind and New Thought and it is always our
intention to work in good faith with anyone who feels
they may have suffered a copyright infringement. We have
two methods of handling these situations. The first
method is informal. We attempt to resolve your alleged
claim by coming to an agreement to promote your
intellectual property or immediately remove the material
claimed to be the subject of infringing activity. If we
cannot resolve the matter and formally to the full
satisfaction of all parties, we proceed with our formal
policy. We use either the informal or formal method in
our sole discretion. Regardless of potential legal liability for alleged copyright infringement under local country law or United States law, our response to these notices may include, removing or disabling access to material claimed to be the subject of infringing activity and the notification of contributors to our site. If we remove or disable access in response to such a notice, we will make a good-faith attempt to contact contributors so that they may make a counter notification. We may also document notices of alleged infringement on which we act. As with all legal notices, a copy of the notice may be sent to one or more third parties who may make it available to the public. Please note that you may be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys' fees) if you materially misrepresent that a product or activity is infringing your copyrights. See Online Policy Group v. Diebold, Inc. for more information. If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and believe that any file or other content or link infringes upon your copyrights, you may submit a notification pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") by providing our web administrator with the following information by e-mail or in writing (see 17 U.S.C 512(c)(3) which is incorporated by reference): (i) A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (ii) Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site; (iii) Identification of the material that is claimed to be 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 the service provider to locate the material; (iv) Information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail; (v) 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; and (vi) A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

1. Identify in sufficient detail the copyrighted work that you believe has been infringed upon (for example, "The copyrighted work at issue is the text that appears on (describe a particular webpage or document within the webpage) or other information sufficient to specify the copyrighted work being infringed (for example, "The copyrighted work at issue is the "The Story of Thought" by Jane Smith, published by Jane Smith Publishing, ISBN #0123456789"). 2. Identify the material within the copyrighted work that you claim is infringing the copyrighted work listed in item #1 above. FOR WEB OR INTERNET SEARCH, YOU MUST IDENTIFY EACH SEARCH RESULT THAT DIRECTLY LINKS TO A WEB PAGE OR FILE THAT ALLEGEDLY CONTAINS INFRINGING MATERIAL. This requires you to provide (a) the search query that you used, and (b) the URL for each allegedly infringing search result. For example, suppose (hypothetically) that you conducted a search on Google.com using the query "ABC", and found that the third and fourth results directly link to a web page or file that you believe infringes the copyrighted text you identified in item #1 above. In this case, you would provide the following information: Search Query: ABC Infringing Web Pages/Files: www.websiteinviolation.com/abcsample In other words, you must provide us with complete information whereby we can identify with certainty the alleged offending webpages or material on webpages. We will not accept links to only search results, as they do not identify any item that may link to material infringing your copyright. You must identify individual items in the search results with particularity that you wish us to remove. For example, if there is a photo or a quotation or particular printed matter that you claim is offending, you must show us the photo, the quotation or the particular printed matter. 3. Provide information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you (email address is preferred). If you are not using e-mail, you must state a justifiable reason why you are not using it. 4. Provide information, if possible, sufficient to permit us to notify any other person or persons who you claim may be involved in the allegedly infringing webpage or other content (email address is preferred). If you are not using e-mail, you must state a justifiable reason why you are not using it. For example, we may have ascribed a quotation or a photograph to a particular creator. If you claim we are republishing copyright protected material, you must state the reasons why the ascribed creator is not the user of the material. 5. You must include the following statement: "I have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted materials described above as allegedly infringing is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law." 6. You must include the following statement: "I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed." 7.
