Our position on copyright
Future Tech Today publishes original reporting. Where we quote, excerpt, or reference third-party material, we do so under fair use or fair dealing principles with attribution. Product images and screenshots are used for identification and commentary in the context of news reporting.
If you believe material on this site infringes your copyright, we will investigate and, where the claim is valid, remove it promptly.
Filing a takedown notice
Send a written notice to contact@futuretechtoday.site with the subject line “DMCA Takedown Notice”. To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your notice must include all of the following:
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or a person authorised to act on their behalf.
- Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed. If multiple works are covered by a single notice, provide a representative list.
- Identification of the material you claim is infringing, with enough detail for us to locate it — a direct URL on this site is strongly preferred.
- Your contact information: full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act on their behalf.
Incomplete notices may delay our response. Please note that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), knowingly misrepresenting that material is infringing can expose you to liability for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees.
What happens next
- We acknowledge receipt of a complete notice within 2 business days.
- We review the claim. Where it is valid, we remove or disable access to the material and notify the contributor who supplied it.
- We aim to complete the process within 10 business days of receiving a complete notice.
Filing a counter-notice
If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the same address. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3) it must include:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the removed material and the location where it appeared before removal.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
- Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your district (or, if outside the United States, any district in which we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the party who filed the original notice.
If we receive a valid counter-notice, we may restore the material in 10 to 14 business days unless the original complainant notifies us that they have filed a court action.
Repeat infringers
In line with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), we terminate the contributor accounts of anyone determined to be a repeat infringer.
If we have used your work
Before filing a formal notice, you are welcome to write to us directly. Many concerns — a missing photo credit, an over-long excerpt — are resolved faster by email than by legal process. Contact contact@futuretechtoday.site or use our contact form.
