What Happens After a Notice Is Received?
After receiving a copyright complaint, Animox may review the information provided and determine whether further action is appropriate.
Depending on the circumstances, we may:
- Investigate the complaint
- Contact the relevant content provider
- Request additional information
- Remove or restrict access to material when appropriate
- Seek clarification regarding ownership or authorization
- Take other action consistent with applicable law
Submitting a notice does not automatically guarantee removal of content.
We may require sufficient information before taking action.

A counter-notification should generally identify:

Submitting a knowingly false or materially misleading copyright complaint may have legal consequences.
Before submitting a copyright notice, make sure that you have the necessary rights or authorization and that the information provided is accurate to the best of your knowledge.
Animox may consider appropriate action where a complaint appears fraudulent, abusive, or intentionally misleading.
