WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW IF YOU ARE A VICTIM
OF COPYRIGHT LAW VIOLATIONS OR INTERNET FRAUD

If you are a victim of copyright violation, download a copy of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998. This legislation provides quick relief for victims of copyright infringement, without a lengthy & expensive legal battle. But there are also risks if you shut down an innocent website host or business while pursuing your offender. It's best to consult an attorney before taking any legal action on your own.
