Last Updated: August 8, 2025

In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (“DMCA”), World Today News respects the intellectual property rights of others and has a policy for addressing claims of copyright infringement. This page outlines the procedure for filing a takedown notice and a counter-notification.

1. Procedure for Reporting Copyright Infringement

If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and believe that any content on our Site infringes upon your copyrights, you may submit a notification pursuant to the DMCA by providing our Designated Copyright Agent with the following information in writing:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site.
  3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (providing URLs is the best way to help us locate content quickly).
  4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which you may be contacted.
  5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Failure to comply with all of the requirements of this section may render your DMCA notification invalid.

2. Designated Copyright Agent

All infringement notifications must be submitted to our Designated Copyright Agent:

3. Counter-Notification Procedure

If you believe that your content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner’s agent, or pursuant to the law, to post and use the material in your content, you may send a counter-notice containing the following information to our Copyright Agent:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the content appeared before it was removed or disabled.
  3. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the content.
  4. Your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in [Your City, Your State], and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.

If a counter-notice is received by the Copyright Agent, we may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that we may replace the removed content or cease disabling it in 10 business days.

4. Repeat Infringer Policy

It is our policy in appropriate circumstances to disable and/or terminate the accounts or access of users or contributors who are determined to be repeat infringers of copyright.
