Dear Designated DMCA Agent for {Provider Name}:

I am writing to escalate a copyright infringement matter involving a website hosted on your service. Despite multiple attempts to resolve this matter directly with the website owner, the infringing content remains accessible, and I have received no response to my DMCA takedown notices.

As the hosting provider / domain registrar / ISP for this website, you have obligations under the DMCA to respond to valid copyright infringement notices. I am requesting your immediate intervention to remove or disable access to the infringing content.

Website Domain: {https://www.example.com}
IP Address: {IP address from WHOIS, if available}

This website is hosted on your infrastructure / registered through your service and contains unauthorized copyrighted material belonging to me.

6. YOUR OBLIGATIONS AS SERVICE PROVIDER

Under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512), service providers have specific obligations when notified of copyright infringement:

**DMCA Safe Harbor Requirements (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)):**

Service providers must:
• Designate an agent to receive infringement notifications
• Respond expeditiously to remove or disable access to infringing material
• Implement a policy for terminating repeat infringers
• Not have actual knowledge of infringement
• Not receive financial benefit directly attributable to infringement

**Consequences of Non-Compliance:**

Failure to respond to valid DMCA notices can result in:

• Direct liability for copyright infringement by your customer
• Statutory damages up to $150,000 per work infringed
• Contributory infringement liability
• Vicarious infringement liability
• Injunctive relief requiring service termination
• Legal action by copyright holders

**Your Duty to Act:**

As the hosting provider / domain registrar / ISP, you have the ability and obligation to:

• Terminate service to repeat infringers
• Preserve evidence of infringement
• Notify your customer of this complaint

**Timeline:**
I request that you take action within 48-72 hours of receipt of this notice. If the infringing content is not removed or disabled within this timeframe, I will be forced to consider additional legal remedies, including:

8. GOOD FAITH STATEMENT

I have a good faith belief that the use of the copyrighted materials described above as allegedly infringing is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.

I have made reasonable efforts to contact the website owner directly, and those efforts have been unsuccessful. This escalation to you as the service provider is necessary due to the website owner's failure to respond or take action.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

9. ACCURACY AND AUTHORIZATION STATEMENT

I state that the information contained in this notification is accurate, that I have made good faith efforts to resolve this matter directly with the website owner, and that this escalation is necessary due to the website owner's non-response.

I declare, under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America, that I am the copyright owner, or I am authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

I understand that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), I may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, if I knowingly materially misrepresent that material or activity is infringing.
