DMCA / Copyright Takedown Policy

How to report copyright infringement on Passings, and how we respond to takedown notices and counter-notifications.

Version 1.37 Last updated October 14, 2026

Passings respects the intellectual property of others and expects users of the Service to do the same. It is our policy to respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. §512, and, in appropriate circumstances, to terminate the accounts of repeat infringers. If you believe that material available on or through the Service infringes your copyright, notify our designated agent: Jason Cahill, Passings LLC, 2501 Chatham Rd, Suite R, Springfield, IL 62704, USA; email: legal@passings.io. Your notice must include: (a) identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed; (b) identification of the material you claim is infringing and information reasonably sufficient to locate it on the Service; (c) your name, address, telephone number, and email address; (d) a statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; (e) a statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner’s behalf; and (f) your physical or electronic signature. If we remove or disable access to material in response to a notice, we will make a good-faith attempt to notify the user who posted the material so that the user may submit a counter-notification under 17 U.S.C. §512(g). Because §512(g)(3) requires the signature and the sworn statement of the subscriber whose material was removed, a counter-notification concerning a deceased user's material may be submitted only by the Passings Successor designated under §22 or, where a Provider published the material and is the subscriber of record, by that Provider; where no such person exists, no counter-notification is available for that material. Knowing material misrepresentations in a notice or counter-notification may expose you to liability for damages under 17 U.S.C. §512(f). If you are not sure whether material available on the Service infringes your copyright, or whether material you posted is infringing, you should seek legal advice before submitting a notice.
