We respect copyright. If content on DJ Berthiot infringes your work, send a DMCA notice with the six required elements to besounder@gmail.com. We act on valid notices within 5 business days. Counter-notifications are supported. Repeat infringer accounts are terminated.

1) Notice

DJ Berthiot (Berkerm LLC) respects the intellectual property of others and expects users to do the same. We respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512.

2) Designated DMCA agent

Send all copyright notifications to our designated agent:

Rodrigue Edo — DMCA Agent

300 Delaware Ave. Suite 210 PMB 70066
E-mail: besounder@gmail.com

3) Filing a takedown notice

A valid notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) must include:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized agent.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed.
  3. Identification of the infringing material and its location on DJ Berthiot (URL, prompt reference, or output ID) sufficient to permit us to locate it.
  4. Your contact information: full legal name, address, phone number, and email.
  5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

We review valid notices and, where appropriate, remove or disable access to the material within a commercially reasonable timeframe — typically 5 business days. We notify the user who posted the material.

4) Counter-notification

If your content was removed and you believe the notice was mistaken or you have the right to use the material, you may send a counter-notification to the DMCA agent including:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the removed material and its location before removal.
  3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification.
  4. Your full legal name, address, and phone number, plus a consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in the district where your address is located (or Wyoming, USA if outside the United States), and to accept service of process from the notifier.

Upon receiving a valid counter-notification, we may restore the material in 10–14 business days unless the original notifier files a court action.

5) Repeat infringers

Consistent with DMCA § 512(i), we maintain a policy of terminating accounts that are determined to be repeat infringers of copyright. Two substantiated notices against an account within a rolling 12-month period trigger review; three trigger permanent termination.

6) Perjury & penalties

Misrepresenting that material is infringing, or misrepresenting that material was removed by mistake, can subject you to liability for damages under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), including costs and attorneys' fees. File notices and counter-notices in good faith only.
