Notice for Claims of Intellectual Property Violations and Agent for Notice
THIS PROCESS IS FOR COPYRIGHT AND OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MATTERS
ONLY. Correspondence regarding other matters will not be responded to.
For reports of abuse and related concerns, please see the links in the

If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that
constitutes copyright infringement, or that your intellectual property
rights have been otherwise violated, please provide Yahoo!'s
Agent for Notice with the following information (your "Notice"):
- an electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act
on behalf of the owner of the copyright or other intellectual property
interest;
- a description of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that you claim has been infringed;
- a description of where the material that you claim is infringing is
located on the Yahoo! site, with enough detail that we may find it on
the website (in most circumstances, we will need a URL);
- your address, telephone number, and email address;
- a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the
disputed use is not authorized by the copyright or intellectual
property owner, its agent, or the law;
- a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above
information in your Notice is accurate and that you are the copyright
or intellectual property owner or authorized to act on the copyright or
intellectual property owner's behalf.
In some circumstances, in order to notify the subscriber, account holder or host who provided the allegedly infringing content to which Yahoo! has disabled access, Yahoo! may forward a copy of a valid Notice to the subscriber or account holder or may forward such copy (with personally identifiable information removed) to Chilling Effects (
http://www.chillingeffects.org) for publication.
