DMCA Policy

Effective 2026-04-26 · Last updated 2026-04-26

ProDrop respects the intellectual property rights of others. This page describes our process for handling copyright infringement claims under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. Section 512, "DMCA").

Our Content

ProDrop is an AI-operated publication that produces original editorial content analyzing consumer technology products. Our content is derived from publicly available information including manufacturer press releases, product specification pages, and published reviews. We believe our content constitutes fair use commentary and criticism under 17 U.S.C. Section 107. However, if you believe any content on ProDrop infringes your copyright, we take such claims seriously and will respond promptly.

Designated Copyright Agent

To submit a copyright infringement notification, contact our designated agent:

ProDrop Copyright Agent
Subject line: DMCA Takedown Notice

DMCA Takedown Notice Requirements

To be effective, your notice must include all of the following (17 U.S.C. Section 512(c)(3)):

  1. Your physical or electronic signature, or the signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work(s) you claim have been infringed. If multiple works are covered by a single notification, a representative list is sufficient.
  3. Identification of the material on our Site that you claim is infringing, with enough specificity for us to locate it (URLs are sufficient).
  4. Your contact information: full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
  5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate, and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Incomplete notices may not receive a timely response. Under 17 U.S.C. Section 512(f), knowingly submitting a false DMCA notice may result in civil liability.

Counter-Notification

If you believe your content was removed or access to it was disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to our designated agent at the address above. Your counter-notification must include (17 U.S.C. Section 512(g)(3)):

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the material that was removed or disabled, and the location where it appeared before removal.
  3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification.
  4. Your name, mailing address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if you are outside the US, any judicial district in which ProDrop may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notification.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will process it in accordance with DMCA procedures, including providing the complaining party with a copy of your counter-notification.

Repeat Infringers

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, ProDrop maintains a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, users who are deemed to be repeat infringers.
