birdcage-liner:

I received this from Tumblr this morning regarding the post about the article from The Sun I posted Sunday.  Curious that I was reported but FYZ wasn’t. Going forward, I’ll stick to the articles and leave the pictures alone, especially if the pics are “exclusive.”

Hi,

We’ve received a notification of alleged copyright infringement on one of your blogs. Here are the details of the content in question:

It’s important for all creators that our users respect copyright, and so we ask that you take greater care when posting other people’s creations to your Tumblr blog. You can review Tumblr’s Terms of Service (https://www.tumblr.com/policy/terms-of-service) and Community Guidelines (https://www.tumblr.com/policy/community) for more information on our copyright policies.

Under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, we are legally required to terminate the accounts of repeat infringers. The notice we received counts as one strike against your account. If you receive three uncontested strikes within 18 months, your account will be terminated. You can contest this notification by following the instructions for a “DMCA Counter-Notification” found here: https://www.tumblr.com/policy/terms-of-service#dmca. A successful counter-notification will remove this strike against your account.

Please note that if your account is terminated for repeat copyright infringement, any new accounts you create will also be terminated.

This is a good opportunity to learn more about US copyright law (never a bad idea) and to make sure none of your other posts are infringing on someone’s copyright. Here are a few free resources you might want to look over:
