DMCA and copyright policy

Last updated: 4 October 2026

Our position

Dropnest is a conduit for user-uploaded material. We do not review transfers before they are shared, and we act expeditiously when a valid notice identifies infringing content.

Filing a notice

Send notices to abuse@dropnest.example with the subject line "DMCA notice". A valid notice must include:

1. Identification of the copyrighted work you own or represent.
2. The exact Dropnest link or links complained of.
3. Your name, address, telephone number and email.
4. A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorised by the owner, its agent or the law.
5. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are the owner or authorised to act on the owner's behalf.
6. Your physical or electronic signature.

Incomplete notices are returned with the missing elements listed. We aim to process valid notices within two business days.

Counter-notice

If your transfer was removed in error, you may file a counter-notice containing your contact details, identification of the removed material, a statement under penalty of perjury that the removal was a mistake or misidentification, and consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate court. We may restore the material 10 to 14 business days after forwarding a valid counter-notice, unless the complainant files a court action.

Repeat infringers

Accounts that receive three valid, unresolved notices are terminated. We keep a record of notices and removals for accounting and compliance.

Misrepresentation

Knowingly filing a materially false notice may expose you to liability for damages, including costs and attorney fees, under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) and equivalent provisions.
