RAM Host requires DMCA notices to be filed via letter or digitally signed email. The complaint must include full contact information in the complaint (including phone number). We may call and verify. Email (unless digitally signed by a verified and trusted third party) is not an acceptable medium for legal complaints.
This paper describes the information that should be included in notices sent to us. It is designed to make submitting notices of alleged infringement to RAM Host as simple as possible while reducing the number of notices that we receive that are fraudulent, difficult to understand, and/or verify. The form of notice specified herein is similar to the form suggested by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of the United States (full text of which can be found at the U.S. Copyright Office Web Site, http://www.copyright.gov) however we will respond to notices of this form from other jurisdictions as well. Incorrectly formatted notices that do not comply with the requirements of the DMCA may be ignored.
Regardless of whether we may or may not be liable for such infringement under your local country law or under United States law, our response(s) to these notices may or may not include removing or suspending access to claimed infringing materials, and/or potentially terminating subscribers. If we disable or suspend access in response to such a notice, we will make a good-faith attempt to contact the owner or administrator of the affected site or content so that they may submit a counter notification. We may also document notices of alleged infringement that we act upon. Please do note that in addition to your request being forwarded to the person who provided the allegedly infringing content, a copy of this legal notice may be sent to a third-party which may publish and/or annotate it.
