Copyright

Counter-notice

Effective date: 2026-10-20. Use this if material of yours was removed or disabled on SHOXA and you believe that was a mistake.

What happens next

We pass a valid counter-notice to the person who sent the original notice. We may restore the material, typically within 10 to 14 business days, unless they tell us they have started a court action to stop you publishing it. This is guidance on how we normally work, not a promise about timing.

If you meant to report a film rather than defend one, use the copyright notice form.

File a counter-notice

Knowingly making a material misrepresentation in a copyright notice or counter-notice can carry legal liability for damages, including costs and legal fees, under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).
