    DMCA Policy for NBA News

    Last Updated: September 14, 2025

    NBA News (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), we will respond promptly to notices of alleged copyright infringement that are reported to our Designated Copyright Agent, identified below.

    This policy applies to the website nbanews.co.uk (the “Site”) and all services offered by NBA News.

    1. Notification of Copyright Infringement

    If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and believe that any content on our Site infringes upon your copyrights, you may submit a notification pursuant to the DMCA by providing our Designated Copyright Agent with the following information in writing:

    1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
    2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site.
    3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (e.g., the URL of the page where the material is located).
    4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an email address.
    5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
    6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

    Please note that under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability.

    2. Counter-Notification Process

    If you believe that your content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner’s agent, or pursuant to the law, to post and use the material in your content, you may send a counter-notification to our Designated Copyright Agent containing the following information:

    1. Your physical or electronic signature.
    2. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled.
    3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the material.
    4. Your name, address, telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or if you are outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which NBA News may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original infringement notification or an agent of such person.

    Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we may send a copy to the original complaining party informing them that we may replace the removed content or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, the removed content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at our sole discretion.

    3. Policy on Repeat Infringers

    NBA News takes copyright infringement very seriously. In accordance with our policy, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users or account holders who are determined to be repeat infringers.

    4. Designated Copyright Agent

    All DMCA notices and counter-notices should be sent to our Designated Copyright Agent. We encourage you to send notices via email for the fastest response.
