3. Counter-Notification
If you believe that your content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner’s agent, or pursuant to the law, to upload and use the material in your content, you may send a counter-notification to [your-email@example.com], with the subject line: “DMCA Counter-Notification.”
Your counter-notification must include the following information:
Your physical or electronic signature;
