It is Google's policy to respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement
that comply with applicable international intellectual property law---including,
in the United States, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, the text of which
can be found at the [U.S. Copyright Office](http://lcWeb.loc.gov/copyright/) website. That
means that if we receive such a notice for content hosted in Cloud Storage,
we will remove or disable access to that content subject to applicable
laws and make a good faith effort to give notice of the claimed infringement to
the account holder. Please note that a copy of each legal notice we receive is
sent to a third-party which may publish and/or annotate it. As such, the content
in the original notice will be forwarded to [Lumen](https://www.lumendatabase.org) (formerly
Chilling Effects) for publication (with your personal information removed). You
can see an example of such a publication at [Lumen Database](https://www.lumendatabase.org/notices/19218964).

**To file a notice of infringement with us:** please follow the steps in
[Report Content for Legal Reasons](http://www.google.com/support/bin/static.py?page=ts.cs&ts=1114905).

In the U.S., if we receive a counter notification from the account holder
pursuant to sections 512(g)(2) and (3) of the DMCA, we may reinstate access
to the content. If we do not receive a counter notification from the
account holder within 10 days of giving notice of the claimed infringement,
we will be forced to permanently delete the content. For more information
about the requirements of a counter notification, and a link to a sample
counter notification, see [Google Legal Help](https://support.google.com/legal/answer/1120734).

We also terminate the accounts of subscribers (including Cloud Storage
account holders) who are repeat infringers. The manner in which
that policy is applied depends on the relevant circumstances, such as
whether the Cloud Storage account holder is itself appropriately
removing content and terminating users in response to infringement notices
and whether Google is able to distinguish individual users who upload
infringing materials from the Cloud Storage account holder. If you
are a Cloud Storage account holder, you are responsible for the
activities of your users to whom you allow access to your account. This
means that if one or more of your users is posting infringing content, and
you do not remove it and take appropriate steps to terminate users who are
repeat infringers, your account may be terminated.
