How to report material you believe infringes your copyright.

Last updated: Oct 22, 2026

DatenUS is operated by ISCT LLC. ISCT LLC respects the rights of copyright owners. Most information on DatenUS is government data in the public domain or open data used under its license, but advertisers and other users can upload material such as ad images. If you believe something on the Site infringes your copyright, send us a notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512).

What to include

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. A description of the copyrighted work you believe was infringed.
  3. The web address (URL) of the material on our Site.
  4. Your name, mailing address, phone number and email address.
  5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
  6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Where to send it: our designated agent

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

  • Name: Copyright Agent, ISCT LLC
  • Email (preferred): [email protected] with the subject "DMCA notice"
  • Mail: c/o ISCT LLC's registered agent in the State of Wyoming. The registered agent's mailing address is available on request at [email protected].

You can also use our contact form and choose "Copyright." Notices that do not include the items above may not be valid. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly makes a material misrepresentation in a notice or counter-notice may be liable for damages, so please consider whether the use may be a fair use before you send a notice.

Counter-notice

If material you provided was removed and you believe it was a mistake, you may send a counter-notice with your signature, the material and where it appeared, a statement under penalty of perjury that it was removed by mistake, your contact details, and your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your district (or, if you are outside the U.S., any district where we may be found).

After we receive a valid counter-notice, we will send a copy to the person who sent the original notice. Unless that person tells us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action to stop the activity, we may restore the material 10 to 14 business days after we receive the counter-notice.

Repeat infringers

We will stop accepting material from, and may block access for, people who repeatedly infringe copyrights.
