DMCA policy

A valid notice needs all six of these. Missing any one delays it.

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the work you own: a link to where it exists, a repository, or the original files.
• The RoAuction listing URL you are reporting. One notice may cover several URLs.
• Your name, address, telephone number and email address.
• A statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorised by you, your agent, or the law.
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are the owner or authorised to act for them.

• We remove or disable the listing, usually within one business day. Where the auction is live, it is cancelled and any bids are voided.
• Where a sale has already completed, the payout is frozen and we contact the buyer.
• The seller is notified, given a copy of the notice, and told how to counter-notify.
• We remove first and argue afterwards. A seller taken down in error loses a few days; a buyer who ships stolen code in their game can lose the game.

If your listing was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, send a counter-notice to the same address containing:

• Your signature.
• Identification of what was removed and where it appeared.
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
• Your name, address and telephone number, and consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for that address.

We forward valid counter-notices to the complainant. If they do not file a court action within 10 to 14 business days, we may restore the listing.

Accounts with repeated valid notices are closed and pending payouts forfeited to the affected buyers. In practice one substantiated notice for stolen work is enough.
