If There's Anything That You Want

LEGAL

Copyright

Effective September 5, 2026

This page explains how to tell us about material on If There's Anything That You Want that you believe infringes your copyright, and what happens when you do.

It covers copyright only. Trademark, privacy, publicity-right, impersonation, and counterfeit-goods complaints use the channels on the Contact, Notices, and Reports page.

Please read this first

We are establishing a formal notice-and-takedown procedure under section 512 of the Copyright Act, including registration of a designated copyright agent with the U.S. Copyright Office. That registration is not yet complete, and this page does not describe a section 512 procedure. We are telling you so plainly rather than implying a process we have not finished building.

What this means for you in practice:

This page will be replaced with the complete Copyright and DMCA Policy when the registration and the supporting procedure are in place.

Send copyright complaints through the legal notices channel. To let us identify and evaluate the material, please include:

  1. Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work you say has been infringed.
  3. Identification of the material on the Service you are complaining about, with the listing or page address, so we can find it.
  4. A statement that you believe in good faith that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  5. A statement that the information in your complaint is accurate, and that you are the owner of the exclusive right concerned or are authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
  6. Your physical or electronic signature.

Before sending a complaint, please consider whether a license, an authorization, fair use, or another lawful use might apply. We do not require a copyright registration number in order to look at a complaint.

What we do with it

We review copyright complaints and, where a complaint identifies the work, identifies the material, and gives us a way to reach you, we act on it — which may mean removing or disabling access to the material and taking reasonable steps to tell the affected user what was removed and why.

Removing material is not a determination that infringement occurred. We may also restrict or remove material independently when it violates the Terms & Conditions, the Prohibited Items and Content Policy, or another law or policy.

If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, tell us through the same channel and say why. We will look at it.

Repeat infringement

We may suspend or terminate the account of a user who repeatedly infringes the copyright of others. See Reports, moderation, and enforcement in the complete Terms.

What we do with your information

We may give your complaint, including the contact details in it, to the user whose material is affected, because they cannot respond to a complaint they cannot see. Please do not include personal information beyond what the complaint needs. Complaints and our handling records are retained as described in the Privacy Policy.

We do not monitor for infringement

We do not review listings, photographs, or other user content looking for possible infringement, and we are not obligated to. The fact that material is still available does not mean we have approved it, licensed it, or decided that it is lawful.
