Hi again Arun,

Thank you for the additional information. Under U.S. copyright law, however, the DMCA notice must include certain elements. One of those is that the statement about you being the copyright owner must be made under penalty of perjury. For example, "I hereby state, under penalty of perjury, that I am the owner of the copyright that is being infringed." Could you also please identify the city and country where your address is located?

Thanks,

Hi Arun,

Thank you for your email. Before we can take any action on your request, we need to receive a notice that complies with the requirements of the DMCA. You can find those requirements by scrolling down to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act Notice section on this page: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/about/legal.html . In particular, you must include (i) in addition to your name and telephone number, your mailing address, and (ii) a statement under penalty of perjury that you are either the owner of, or a person authorized to act on behalf of an owner of, the exclusive copyright right that is being infringed.

Once we receive a DMCA compliant notice we will take down the reported Persona and forward your notice to the person who posted it.

Hi, I'm Arun Dhir and a few years ago, I created a design based upon Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. It can be found here: http://megamanexev3.deviantart.com/art/Dark-Side-of-the-Moon-2-66374154

A friend phoned me one day to congratulate me for having a very popular persona, with over 40,000 users. I was surprised because I didn't remember submitting one. He gave me the following link:
http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/persona/89098 , which contained a modified version of my artwork.

My phone number is [phone number removed]. You may phone me for further details.

This is a statement by me that I believe in good faith that the use of this material I claim infringes on my copyright is not authorized by law. All information in this DMCA Notice is accurate. I
