How do I report copyright infringement on BrewTogether?
If you believe someone is infringing your copyright, you can report it to us by filling out this contact form. You can also contact our designated DCMA agent. Before you submit a report of copyright infringement, feel free to send a message to the person who posted the content. Many of these issues can be resolved without contacting BrewTogether formally. Only the copyright owner or their authorized representative may file a report of copyright infringement.

In the case that you are an authorized representative submitting a report, we provide the name of the organization or client that owns the right in question.

What do I do if content I posted was removed because it was reported for intellectual property infringement?
When we receive a report from a rights owner claiming content on BrewTogether infringes their intellectual property rights, we may remove that content from BrewTogether without contacting you.
If we remove content you posted because of an intellectual property report, you’ll receive a notification from us that includes the name and email of the rights owner who made the report and/or the details of the report. If you believe the content shouldn’t have been removed, you can contact with them directly to try to resolve the issue.
If the content was removed under the notice and counter-notice procedures of the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), you may be able to file a DMCA counter-notification. Similarly, if the content was removed based on U.S. trademark rights, and if you believe the content should not have been removed, you will be provided an opportunity to submit an appeal.
