To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to you to exercise my rights
under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). You recently
provided me with a copy of a Notice of Infringement from [[name of
complaining party]]. This letter is a Counter-Notification as authorized
in § 512(g) of the U.S. Copyright Law. I have a good faith belief
that the Notice of Infringement was made as a result of mistake or
misidentification of the material on my website and I therefore request
that the material not be removed or access disabled. The material
in question appears or appeared at the website address: [[provide
the Domain name or site URL here]]. My contact information is
as follows: [[provide your full name, address, telephone number, and
email address]]. [[ US residents say: For the purpose of
resolution of this dispute, I consent to the jurisdiction of the US
Federal District Court for the judicial district in which my address
is located. OR Non-US residents say instead: For
the purpose of resolution of this dispute, I consent to the jurisdiction
of the US Federal District Court for the judicial district in which
Shooting Star Hosting is located. ]] I agree to accept service
of process from the person who provided the Notice of Infringement.
I declare under penalty of perjury that this statement is true and
correct. My name typed below constitutes my electronic signature.
