DMCA & Copyright

Send your notice to kuroninja@ckuro.cc with the subject line "DMCA Takedown Notice."

We respond to all valid notices within 48 hours and will act on confirmed infringement within 5 business days. You will receive a confirmation when action has been taken.

To be valid under the DMCA, your notice must contain all of the following. Incomplete notices cannot be acted upon.

• ◈

  Identification of the copyrighted work

  Describe the work you believe has been infringed — a link to your original, a description, or registration number if applicable. If multiple works are covered by a single notice, a representative list is acceptable.

• ◈

  Identification of the infringing material

  The exact URL(s) on CKURO.ART where the infringing content appears. "Somewhere on your site" is not sufficient — we need the specific listing or page URL.

• ◈

  Your contact information

  Your full legal name, mailing address, phone number, and email address. P.O. boxes are acceptable for mailing address.

• ◈

  Good faith statement

  A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.

• ◈

  Accuracy statement

  A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf.

• ◈

  Signature

  Your physical or electronic signature. For email notices, typing your full legal name at the bottom of the notice constitutes an electronic signature.

If you are an artist whose content has been removed following a DMCA notice and you believe the removal was made in error — or that you have the right to use the material — you may file a counter-notice.

A valid counter-notice must include:

• ◈Your full legal name, address, phone number, and email
• ◈Identification of the material that was removed and its URL before removal
• ◈A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification
• ◈A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your district (or, if outside the US, any judicial district in which CKURO.ART may be found)
• ◈Your physical or electronic signature

Send counter-notices to the same address: kuroninja@ckuro.cc with subject line "DMCA Counter-Notice."

Upon receiving a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original claimant and restore the content within 10–14 business days unless the claimant files a court action to restrain the restoration.

CKURO.ART maintains a repeat infringer policy in accordance with DMCA safe harbor requirements. Artists who receive multiple valid takedown notices — specifically, those who repeatedly upload content they do not own or have rights to — will have their accounts terminated.

"Repeat infringer" means an artist with two or more confirmed valid DMCA notices within a 12-month period, or a single notice involving deliberate, large-scale copyright theft. Each case is reviewed individually.

Terminated accounts for copyright infringement are permanently banned and are not eligible for reinstatement.

Email is the fastest and preferred method. Notices sent without the correct subject line may be delayed.
