Copyright and DMCA

Updated: October 21, 2026

histre lets people publish notes, highlights, collections and member pages. We respect the intellectual property of others and expect our users to do the same. We respond to notices of claimed copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512. This page explains how to send us a notice, what we do with it, and how to respond if something you published was removed.

Reporting an infringement

If you believe that content on histre infringes a copyright you own or are authorized to act for, send us a written notice that includes all of the following:

  1. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed, or a representative list if the notice covers several works.
  2. Identification of the material you claim is infringing, with enough detail for us to find it. The full URL of the note, highlight, collection or member page is best.
  3. Your name, postal address, telephone number and email address.
  4. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
  5. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
  6. Your physical or electronic signature.

A notice missing any of these may not be acted on. Please note that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. Consider whether the use might be fair use before sending a notice.

What we do with a notice

When we receive a complete notice we remove the material or disable access to it promptly, tell the user who published it, and give them a copy of the notice. We keep a record of notices received. If a user is the subject of repeated valid notices, we close their account (see below).

Counter-notice

If your content was removed because of a notice and you believe the removal was a mistake or a misidentification, you may send us a counter-notice. It must include all of the following:

  1. Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal.
  2. Your name, postal address, telephone number and email address.
  3. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  4. 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 United States, the Northern District of California), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice or their agent.
  5. Your physical or electronic signature.

When we receive a complete counter-notice we forward it to the person who sent the original notice. If they do not tell us within ten business days that they have filed a court action to restrain the alleged infringement, we may restore the material between ten and fourteen business days after receiving the counter-notice.

Repeat infringers

We close the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe the copyrights of others, and we may close an account after a single notice where the infringement is clear and deliberate. We also reserve the right to remove content and close accounts at our discretion under our Terms and Conditions.
