Responding to a DMCA take down notice In the event that material is removed due to a DMCA notice, the only recourse for restoring such material is to file a counter-notice with the Foundation. If you believe that a take-down notice which has been acted upon by the Foundation is without legal basis, please feel free to visit the following sites as a first step in learning about filing a counter-notice:

Please note that filing a counter-notice may lead to legal proceedings between you and the complaining party to determine ownership of the material. The DMCA process requires that you consent to the jurisdiction of a United States court. All notices should be sent to the Foundation's designated agent.

File log shown on page 10 of the takedown notice indicates that the upload originated on English Wikipedia. This should serve as a reminder for local file reviewers on enwiki as well as file movers that not all locally-stored files on enwiki are either eligible for Commons or not infringements or violations to others' copyrights.

@JSutherland (WMF): Could you ask legal if that would also be covered under the DMCA, or if we need to find local editors to delete the pages? I'm not fluent in Hindi unfortunately. --Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 00:11, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
