Like many others I have received a warning notice from Tumblr:
This is despite the fact that I have received no notice of any takedown.
I am not in a position to correct my evil ways because I don’t know what I’ve done wrong.
Like so many others (like 90% of Tumblr) I post pix I have found here and there. I give attribution much of the time (unlike many others), regard what I post as in the public domain, my posts are in effect a review because by making my selection I am indicating what I approve of.
I would add that in the distant past I have received two “notifications”. They were not “uncontested” as I responded with my claim of right to use the images. I did not ever receive a reply from Tumblr.
I have responded to this notice also, my response appears below.
At the time of writing I have, again, received no response from Tumblr. (or is that Yahoo?)
Hello,
We’re writing to let you know that, due to repeated uncontested notifications of copyright infringement against one or more of your blogs, your Tumblr account is one more uncontested notice away from termination. PLEASE CONSIDER THIS A FINAL WARNING.
As a reminder, Tumblr, as required by US law, implements a strict policy of terminating the accounts of repeat copyright infringers. It’s important for all creators that our users respect copyright, and so we ask that you take greater care in what you post to your Tumblr blogs. You can review Tumblr’s Terms of Service (http://www.tumblr.com/policy/en/terms_of_service) and Community Guidelines (http://www.tumblr.com/policy/en/community) for more information on our copyright policies.
Also, if you believe that a copyright infringement notification has been incorrectly submitted against you (in other words, that you have the legal right to post the content), you can contest the notice and file a counter-notification according to the procedure found here: http://www.tumblr.com/policy/en/terms_of_service#dmca
For more information on US copyright law, you can visit the following sites:

Thanks for your consideration.
Best,
Tumblr Trust & Safety
My Reply:
I don’t have notice of any alleged breach that may have brought this on.
Both historic take Downs I have had notice of were contested by me but received no reply from you. They were more than a year ago.
Please inform me as to any current breach which is alleged.
