Only copyright owners may report a suspected infringement to SSG. If you are not the copyright owner (or the authorized representative of the owner) you may not report a suspected infringement to SSG.

Please note that you will be liable for damages (including costs and attorney’s fees) if you materially misrepresent that material is infringing your copyright(s). Accordingly, if you are uncertain as to whether or not you are the owner of the material or if such are protected by copyright laws, we suggest that you first contact a lawyer. If you believe that any content on a website infringes another party’s copyright, you should advise the copyright owner directly.

SSG will attempt to remove or disable the allegedly infringing material and promptly notify the user who posted the allegedly infringement material. That user then has the right to request that the material be reinstated or re-enabled. If they properly make such a request, SSG will reinstate or re-enable the material unless and until the two parties jointly ask SSG to remove it or a court orders SSG to remove it.
