Making a submission to OpposeTheMask.org constitutes the submitter’s acknowledgement of this policy.

Fair Use Notice

This site contains copyrighted material the use of which may not have been specifically authorized by the copyright owner.

We are making such material available in our efforts to advance understanding of the illogical, immoral, indecent, and fully criminal manipulation of known scientific facts and research to frighten, intimidate and control the otherwise free citizens of the United States and other countries.

These malicious acts of distortion and deception affect the areas of human rights, economic studies, democratic process, political science, scientific studies, criminal justice and other issues.

The primary objective of OpposeTheMask.org is to archive any and all research, studies, findings, and science data concerning the efficacy (or lack thereof) and dangers of face masks of any kind, since resources are and can be scrubbed from the Internet by alleged copyright holders and/or censored by third parties who wish to keep individuals and government leaders bamboozled as to the real facts.

We believe this constitutes a fair use of any such copyrighted material as provided for in section 107 and/or section 108 of the U.S. Copyright Act of 1976.

If you should hold a copyright to material contained on OpposeTheMask.org that has not been correctly cited to you we ask that you provide us with that information and an opportunity to post your copyright information in connection with your material. You can Contact us here.

If you do not wish your copyrighted material to be posted on our site, we will respectfully inform you that in accordance with Title 17 U.S.C. Section 107 and/or 108, the material on this site is archived and distributed without profit to those who have expressed an interest (by accessing this site) in receiving the included information for research and educational purposes and we will continue to do so under that U.S. Code.

If you wish to be a prick and still want to file a complaint about this practice over your claimed copyright, please follow the instructions under Copyright Infringement below.

Copyright Infringement

OpposeTheMask.org recognizes and respects the intellectual property rights of others and we comply with the Fair Use Section 107 of the Copyright Act of 1976 and with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998, Title 17 of the United States Code, section 512 (DMCA).

In accordance with DMCA, OpposeTheMask.org will respond promptly to claims of copyright infringement that are correctly reported to our Designated Agent following the reporting procedure outlined below.

OpposeTheMask.org’s Designated Agent can be reached via our DMCA Designated Agent Contact here.

Procedure for Making Claim of Copyright Infringement

If you are a copyright owner (or are legally authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner) and you believe that your copyright has been infringed by OpposeTheMask.org, report your notice of infringement to us by providing our Designated Agent a written notification of claimed infringement that includes the following pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(c):

(i) A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

(ii) Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site.

(iii) Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit OpposeTheMask.org to locate the material.

(iv) Information reasonably sufficient to permit OpposeTheMask.org to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an email address.

(v) A statement that the complaining party has 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.

(vi) A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

OpposeTheMask.org will investigate notices of copyright infringement and take appropriate action(s) under the DMCA.

Contact with OpposeTheMask.org that does not follow this procedure may not receive a response.

False claims of copyright infringement will be deemed an attack on OpposeTheMask.org and will be treated in accordance with our Special Notice Concerning Threats Policy as described below.
