emotive.energy LLC (“emotive.energy,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects the intellectual property rights of creators, educators, researchers, practitioners, and other rights holders.
This Policy establishes procedures for reporting alleged copyright infringement involving material hosted on, stored through, or otherwise made available using services under our control.
It addresses:
These procedures are based on the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), including 17 U.S.C. § 512.
Our services may include educational courses, digital products, publications, research materials, audio and video recordings, professional resources, and content supplied by independent contributors.
Some content is developed by independent members, educators, consultants, researchers, or other professionals. Providing content through the Platform does not automatically transfer copyright ownership to the Company.
The statutory limitations on liability provided by the DMCA are available only where their applicable legal requirements are satisfied. Publication of this Policy alone does not establish eligibility for any particular protection.
This Policy should be read together with our:
Written notifications of claimed copyright infringement and counter-notifications should be directed to:

For efficient processing, please use the following email subject lines:
DMCA Copyright Infringement Notice
or
DMCA Counter-Notification
Notices may be delivered electronically or by postal mail.
A telephone call alone does not constitute the written notification required under the DMCA.
The Company maintains this contact to receive and administer copyright complaints.
Designation and registration of a copyright agent for purposes of applicable statutory safe-harbor protection are governed by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(2) and 37 C.F.R. § 201.38.
If you own a copyright, or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive copyright right, and believe that material available through a Company-controlled service infringes that right, you may submit a written notification.
To satisfy 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), the notification must substantially include the following information.
A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right allegedly infringed.
Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
If multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by one notification, a representative list may be provided where permitted by law.
Identification of the material claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, together with information reasonably sufficient for the Company to locate it.
Please provide, where available:
Information reasonably sufficient for the Company to contact the complaining party, such as:
A statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
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.
Before submitting a notification, the complaining party should consider whether the use may be authorized by a license, the copyright owner, fair use, or another applicable legal exception.
A disagreement with criticism, commentary, educational discussion, or other lawful activity does not, by itself, establish copyright infringement.
When the Company receives a notification alleging copyright infringement, it reviews the information supplied and responds as appropriate under applicable law.
Where the statutory DMCA notice-and-takedown procedure applies, the Company acts expeditiously to remove or disable access to material identified in a substantially compliant notification, as required to satisfy the applicable statutory conditions.
Depending on the circumstances, the Company may:
Where a notification is incomplete but substantially identifies the copyrighted work, allegedly infringing material, and complaining party, the Company may contact the sender or take other reasonable steps to assist in obtaining a compliant notification, as contemplated by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)(B).
Where user-directed material is removed or disabled pursuant to the applicable DMCA procedure, the Company takes reasonable steps promptly to notify the affected user.
Removal or disabling of access does not necessarily constitute a final legal determination that infringement occurred.
The Company may also respond to credible infringement concerns under other applicable legal or contractual rights.
If material you provided has been removed or disabled in response to a copyright complaint, and you believe the removal resulted from mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter-notification.
To satisfy 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3), a counter-notification must substantially include the following.
Your physical or electronic signature.
Identification of the material removed or disabled and the location where it appeared before removal or disabling.
Please include the original URL or other information sufficient to identify the material.
A statement that, under penalty of perjury, you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
Your name, address, and telephone number, together with a statement that:
An email address should also be provided where available to facilitate correspondence.
Send the counter-notification to the copyright contact listed in Section 2.
Use the subject:
DMCA Counter-Notification
A counter-notification is a formal legal communication. It includes statements made under penalty of perjury and consent to the applicable jurisdiction and service-of-process provisions.
Where the statutory procedure applies, the counter-notification will be forwarded to the original complaining party.
This may disclose your name and contact information to that party.
Where the counter-notification procedure under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g) applies, and the Company receives a substantially compliant counter-notification, the Company will:
A statement that the complaining party disagrees with the counter-notification or intends to consider litigation does not, by itself, establish that the relevant court action has been filed.
Where the Company receives notice of a qualifying court action, it will address restoration according to the applicable legal requirements.
These provisions describe the statutory DMCA counter-notification procedure. They do not eliminate other independently applicable legal obligations or rights.
In accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), the Company has adopted a policy providing for the termination, in appropriate circumstances, of subscribers and account holders who are repeat copyright infringers.
This Policy applies, as appropriate, to:
The Company considers relevant circumstances when responding to infringement incidents, including the nature of the conduct, documented prior incidents, notices received, relevant disputes, and corrective action.
Appropriate measures may include:
The Company does not establish an automatic numerical threshold that treats every unverified allegation as a conclusive infringement finding.
Nevertheless, the Company will reasonably implement its repeat-infringer policy and terminate accounts in appropriate circumstances.
Where applicable, the Company also accommodates and does not interfere with standard technical measures within the meaning of 17 U.S.C. § 512(i).
Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), a person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing, or that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for resulting damages, including applicable costs and attorneys’ fees.
Copyright complaints and counter-notifications must be submitted honestly and in good faith.
The Company may respond to misuse of its reporting procedures as permitted by applicable law.
Persons uncertain about their rights or the legal consequences of submitting a copyright notification should consider obtaining independent legal advice.
emotive.energy LLC respects the ownership rights of independent creators, members, practitioners, researchers, and other contributors.
As a general rule, an independent originator retains ownership of content they lawfully create unless an applicable written agreement or other legal arrangement provides otherwise.
Providing content through the Company’s Platform does not automatically transfer copyright ownership to the Company or establish collective ownership by other members.
The Company may receive licenses authorizing it to host, distribute, promote, sell, or otherwise make content available under applicable contributor agreements.
The Company owns intellectual property it has independently created or lawfully acquired through appropriate ownership arrangements.
Collaborative works, commissioned content, and Company-developed materials are governed by applicable agreements and copyright law.
Disputes concerning contractual ownership, licensing, compensation, or revenue sharing are not automatically resolved through the DMCA notification procedure.
Additional information is provided in our Intellectual Property and Trademark Policy.
Some Company activities involve external services operated by third parties.
For example, the Company’s publication at:
https://connect.emotive.energy
is hosted through Substack.
Other services may host recordings, videos, communications, or additional digital content.
Such platforms may maintain their own copyright-reporting procedures, designated agents, and legal responsibilities.
Where allegedly infringing material is hosted independently rather than on systems controlled by emotive.energy LLC, a notification to the relevant external platform may also be necessary.
The Company may address concerns involving content that it publishes or controls through an external service, consistent with its rights and responsibilities.
Copyright notifications and counter-notifications may include personal information such as names, addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, signatures, and allegations concerning particular materials.
The Company processes this information for purposes including:
Where the statutory counter-notification procedure applies, the Company may be required to forward a counter-notification to the original complaining party.
Information may also be disclosed where required by applicable law or lawful legal process.
Additional information about personal-information processing is provided in our Privacy Policy.
This Policy supplements the Company’s Terms of Use, Intellectual Property and Trademark Policy, and applicable contributor agreements.
Nothing in this Policy:
The Company may exercise additional lawful rights and remedies where appropriate.
The Company may revise this Policy to reflect changes in applicable law, Company services, or copyright-administration procedures.
The current version will be available at:
