DMCA & Copyright

DMCA & Copyright Policy

Effective date: October 15, 2026

Entertainment Industry Social (entertainmentis.com), operated by Illuminet, LLC, respects the intellectual property rights of artists and creators and expects members to do the same. We respond to clear notices of claimed copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), 17 U.S.C. § 512.

1. Where to Send Notices

Send copyright notices and counter-notices to our designated agent:

Admin, DMCA Agent
Illuminet, LLC
PO Box 763, Waite Park, MN 56387
Online: our Contact page (subject: “DMCA Notice”)

2. Filing a Takedown Notice

If you believe content on the Site infringes your copyright, your written notice must include all of the following (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)):

  1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed (or, if several works are covered by one notice, a representative list of them).
  3. Identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient for us to locate it, such as the exact URL(s) on entertainmentis.com.
  4. Your contact information: name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
  5. 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.
  6. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.

Notices missing these elements may not be acted on. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly makes a material misrepresentation that content is infringing may be liable for damages.

3. What Happens Next

When we receive a complete notice, we will remove or disable access to the material promptly and make a reasonable effort to notify the member who posted it, including a copy of the notice.

4. Filing a Counter-Notice

If your content was removed and you believe it was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the address above. It must include:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal.
  3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, if outside the United States, any judicial district in which Illuminet, LLC may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice or their agent.

After a valid counter-notice, we will forward a copy to the original complainant. Unless they tell us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action, we may restore the material in 10 to 14 business days after receiving the counter-notice.

5. Repeat Infringers

We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of members who are repeat infringers.

6. Not Legal Advice

This page explains our process and is not legal advice. If you are unsure whether material infringes, consider consulting an attorney before filing a notice.
