DMCA Policy

Critica Cinema Italiano ("we," "us," or "our") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (DMCA), the text of which can be found on the U.S. Copyright Office website at http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf, we will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed using the Critica Cinema Italiano website and/or service (the "Service") if such claims are reported to our Designated Copyright Agent identified below.

If you are a copyright owner, or are authorized to act on behalf of one, and you believe your copyrighted work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement and is accessible via the Service, please submit a DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement by contacting our Copyright Agent through our contact page. Upon receipt of a valid DMCA Notice, we will take whatever action, in our sole discretion, we deem appropriate, including removal of the challenged content from the Service.
