Copyright & takedown

show.pictures and the .pictures family publish photographs credited to their photographers — Creative Commons and public-domain images from public collections, and pictures contributors upload under CC BY 4.0. We take copyright seriously and remove infringing material promptly.

The fastest route for anyone: the ⚑ report link under every picture. For a formal notice under the DMCA (17 U.S.C. §512), email our designated agent:

A complete notice must include: (1) identification of the copyrighted work; (2) the URL(s) of the material you believe infringes; (3) your contact information; (4) a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; (5) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner; and (6) your physical or electronic signature.

What happens next

We remove or disable access to the identified material expeditiously and notify the uploader when there is one. Photographers get a copy of the notice and may send a counter-notification containing: identification of the removed material and its prior URL; a statement under penalty of perjury of a good-faith belief the removal was a mistake or misidentification; their name, address, and phone number; consent to the jurisdiction of their federal district court (or any judicial district in which we may be found, for addresses outside the United States); and their signature. Unless the complaining party files a court action, counter-noticed material is restored in 10–14 business days.

Repeat infringers

Accounts that repeatedly upload infringing material are terminated.

Misrepresenting that material is infringing can make you liable for damages under 17 U.S.C. §512(f). Nothing on this page is legal advice.
