Karen,

Why is my group being removed?

The message from Mark seems clear on the subject.

A DMCA takedown notice is a formal (legal) document that notifies Groups.io that the site contains material that infringes the plaintif's copyright.

Groups.io MUST take action when such a complaint is raised, or it risks losing its safe-harbor under U.S. copyright law, which would make Groups.io legally liable for the infringement.

Why can't I fight it before they remove it?

U.S. copyright law (in particular the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, "DMCA") does not allow that. The site owner must first remove the content.


You CAN fight the removal by filing a "Put-Back" notice. The basis of your notice would have to be that you own the rights to the material or that you have a proper license to use it.

So your option at this point would be to come to an agreement with the plaintiff to obtain the right to use their material. Then you can file the Put-Back notice.

If you read my footer, I agreed to pay anyone if I accidentally sent a
CDO tube. I am not sure why I am being removed.

The law does not allow Mark to take your word for it, nor does it allow him to leave the material in place while you work it out with the plaintiff.

Shal
