Last Revised: December 5, 2014

SomaFM has elected to operate under the statutory webcasting licenses codified in Sections 112 and 114 of the Copyright Act, has filed a Notice of Use of Sound Recordings Under Statutory License with the United States Copyright Office, and pays royalties to SoundExchange, Inc., the sole entity designated by the Copyright Royalty Board to receive royalty payments from eligible nonsubscription transmission services.

If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof, and you believe either: (1) that any music on the SomaFM service has not been distributed to the public under the authority of the copyright owner of such music and the copyright owner has not otherwise permitted SomaFM to transmit the sound recording or (2) if any non-music content broadcast or hosted on SomaFM infringes your copyrights, then you may submit a notification pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") by providing SomaFM's Designated Copyright Agent with the following information in writing:

• a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works on the Gild Service are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works on the SomaFM;
• 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 SomaFM to locate the material;
• Information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted;
• A statement that the complaining party has 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 (e.g. "I, under good faith, belief that the use of the copyrighted content that is identified herein is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law."); and
• A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed (e.g. "I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in this notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner, or authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner, of the copyright(s) that is/are allegedly infringed by the aforementioned content.").

Please consult your attorney or see 17 U.S.C. § 512 to confirm these requirements. We may display a copy of your DMCA notice in place of the removed content.
