Shrewsbury's Community Cablevision (SCC) acknowledges and respects
the intellectual property rights of others and we are committed
to complying with U.S. Copyright laws. Our policy is to act and
respond to all notices of alleged infringement that comply with
the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. The Digital Millennium Copyright
Act of 1998 ("DMCA") provides legal protection for owners
of copyrighted material who believe that their rights under the
U.S. copyright law have been infringed via the Internet.
If you determine that your work has been duplicated and is viewable
on this internet site or a site that you believe is being hosted
on servers of SCCs in a way that may constitute copyright infringement,
please give notice to our Designated Agent as prescribed by "DMCA".
The notice must include the following information as provided by
the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. 512 ( c ) (3):

act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly
infringed;
- Clear identification of the site where you believe the infringing
material is located, identification of the copyrighted work claimed

single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative

- Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing
or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be

| Counter
Notification to Claimed Copyright Infringement |
If a copyright infringement notice has been wrongly
filed against you as a result of mistake or a misidentification of
the material, you may file a counter notification with our Designated
Agent. The counter notification must provide the following information:
- Physical or electronic signature of the subscriber;
- Identification of the material that has been removed or to which
access has been disabled and the location at which the material
appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled;
- A statement under penalty of perjury that the subscriber has
a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled
as a result of mistake or misidentification;
- The subscribers name, address, telephone number and email address,
and a statement that the subscriber consents to the jurisdiction
of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which
the address is located, or if the subscriber's address is outside
of the United States, for any judicial district in which the service
provider may be found, and that the subscriber will accept service
of process from the person who provided notification or an agent
of such person.
- SCC will terminate all account holders and subscribers who
are repeat infringers of intellectual property laws.
Notice and Takedown Procedure
It is expected that all users of any part of the SCC's system will
comply with applicable copyright laws. However, if SCC's Designated
Agent is notified of claimed copyright infringement, or otherwise
becomes aware of facts and circumstances from which infringement
is apparent, SCC will comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright
Act by expeditiously removing, or disabling access to, the material
that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing
activity. If time permits, SCC may, in its sole discretion, give
an alleged infringer a reasonable opportunity to remove the infringing
material itself. SCC will also comply with the appropriate provisions
of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act in the event its Designated
Agent receives a counter notification.
