Digital Millennium Copyright Act

While binary newsgroups can be used to distribute completely legal user-created works, some binary groups are used to illegally distribute copyrighted media. Pocketbinaries.com provides uncensored access to many usenet groups. In the case that a copyrighted piece of work bypasses our filters the Digital Millennium copyright Act (DMCA) provides a way for owners of copyrighted material to remove their material from unintended sources.

Before reporting the infringement of your copyrighted work you should read the DMCA article located here: www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf

Authors of original work should also realize that removing your work from Pocketbinaries.com does not remove your work from any other ISP and it is your responsibility to have it removed elsewhere. Your petition here will only remove it from pocketbinaries.com.

Here are the steps to follow:

1. Please send an email to TMS4US@SWBELL.NET stating that your work has been infringed upon. This is just the initial step and a member of our staff will contact you and guide you through the rest of the process. If you have found multiple occurrences of your work it is not necessary at this point to list them all.

2. Upon receiving our reply to your "report abuse" you may now list all the URL's that you feel are infringed upon. Include a formal statement in your reply that you are indeed the owner of this work.

3. Digitally sign the email as specified in the DMCA.

4. Attach a formal statement that you understand the legal implications of providing false information and that all information is accurate.

Address the email to our DMCA agent: Mr. Jerry L Newton c/o pocketbinaries .

Pocketbinaries.com apologizes to anyone that has had copyrighted work posted to the usenet. Lets work together and clean up the usenet to make it a safe and reliable source for the transfer of data.
