MyReadingManga respects the intellectual property rights of creators, publishers and other rights holders, and we expect our users to do the same. We respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement in line with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and similar laws in other countries.
Reporting Copyright Infringement
If you are a copyright owner, or are authorised to act on behalf of one, and you believe that material available on the Site infringes your copyright, you can send us a written notice. Please send it by email to contact@myreadingsmanga.com with “DMCA Notice” in the subject line.
What Your Notice Must Include
To be effective, your notice should include all of the following:
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorised to act on their behalf.
- Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed. If several works are covered by one notice, a representative list is acceptable.
- Identification of the material you claim is infringing, with enough detail for us to locate it — ideally the exact URL of each page.
- Your contact information, including your name, postal address, telephone number and email address.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
- A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or are authorised to act on the owner’s behalf.
Incomplete notices may delay our response, as we may need to contact you for missing details before we can act.
What Happens Next
When we receive a complete and valid notice, we will review it and, where appropriate, remove or disable access to the material identified. We may forward a copy of the notice, with personal contact details removed where appropriate, to the person who provided the material. We may also keep records of notices for legal and administrative purposes.
Counter-Notification
If you believe material you provided was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may send us a counter-notice. It should include:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
- Your name, address and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate court for your address (or, if you are outside the United States, any judicial district in which the service provider may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice or their agent.
After receiving a valid counter-notice, we may forward it to the original complainant. If they do not notify us that they have filed a court action within the period set by law, we may restore the material.
Repeat Infringement
Where appropriate, we may restrict access for users or sources that are repeatedly the subject of valid infringement notices.
Misrepresentation
Please make sure your notice or counter-notice is accurate. Under the DMCA, anyone who knowingly makes a material misrepresentation in a notice or counter-notice may be liable for damages. If you are unsure whether material infringes your rights, you may wish to seek legal advice first.
