DMCA Policy & Copyright Infringement Notification

1. Respect for Intellectual Property

Bear Market News respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (“DMCA”) and the Canadian Copyright Act (R.S.C., 1985, c. C-42), we will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed using the bearmarketnews.net website (the “Site”).

2. DMCA Notification of Claimed Infringement

If you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement and is accessible on the Site, please notify our Designated Copyright Agent as set forth below. Your notice must comply with the DMCA and include the following information:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorised to act on their behalf
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing 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 specific URL on the Site)
4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as your name, address, telephone number and email address
5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorised 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 authorised to act on behalf of the copyright owner

3. Designated Copyright Agent

DMCA notices should be sent to our Designated Copyright Agent:

4. Counter-Notification

If you believe that your material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to our Designated Copyright Agent. Your counter-notification must include:

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 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 misidentification of the material
4. Your name, address, telephone number and email address
5. 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 the United States, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York) and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notification or an agent of such person

5. Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable laws, Bear Market News has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. We may also, at our sole discretion, limit access to the Site and/or terminate the accounts of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.

6. Fair Use and Fair Dealing

Not all uses of copyrighted material constitute infringement. Under U.S. law, the doctrine of “fair use” (17 U.S.C. § 107) permits limited use of copyrighted material without permission for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research. Under Canadian law, the doctrine of “fair dealing” (sections 29, 29.1 and 29.2 of the Copyright Act) similarly permits use for research, private study, education, parody, satire, criticism, review and news reporting. We consider these doctrines when evaluating infringement claims.

7. Canadian Copyright Act Compliance

As a Canadian-based publication, we also comply with the notice-and-notice regime under the Canadian Copyright Act (sections 41.25 and 41.26). If you are a Canadian copyright holder and wish to submit a notice of claimed infringement under Canadian law, please contact our Designated Copyright Agent using the contact information above.

8. Modifications

We reserve the right to modify this DMCA Policy at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting to the Site.
