-Note to Tor relay operators: In this litigious era, anyone providing routing
services may face copyright complaints for transmitted content. Fortunately,
the Digital Millennium Copyright Act safe harbors should provide protections
from many of them both to you and to your upstream provider. If your Internet
host forwards a DMCA copyright complaint to you, you can use this template to
write a response, though you will need to customize it to your situation.
Please also ensure all the statements are true for you. (The Tor Project has an
[abuse collection of
templates](/relay/community-resources/tor-abuse-templates/) to help you respond
to other types of abuse complaints, too.) Before sending any response to your
ISP, you may want to seek the advice of an attorney licensed to practice in
your jurisdiction.

ISP has received a DMCA notice will turn on the particular facts of your
situation. This template is intended as a starting point, but you should tailor
it to your own circumstances. In addition, it's up to you to comply with your
ISP's terms of service. If you're not comfortable including so much legal
explanation, feel free to invite the ISP to contact EFF for a fuller discussion.
