The copyright statute provides that a copyright
owner who believes that the work published online
is infringing, can send a takedown notification
letter to the web host.

Once the web host receives the takedown notice,
it is on notice and is required to remove the
infringing material. The website must also send a
notice to its customer explaining the reason for
removing the allegedly infringing content based
on the DMCA takedown notice that it has received.
The customer has two options. Either it decided
to not respond, which in that event the content
would remain inaccessible online, or send a
counter-notification letter claiming
non-infringement. It is important that both the
copyright owner and the customer provide all the
information required by the statute in their
respective takedown and counter-notification
letters and to make sure that all facts provided
are accurate and not misleading.

The submittal of the counter-Notification letter
throws the ball back to the copyright owner's
court. The copyright owner after receiving the
counter notice can do nothing, which in that
event, the website would put back the removed
content online. Otherwise, the copyright owner
must file a lawsuit within 10-14 days against the
alleged infringer to keep the content offline.

The content would remain offline during the
pendency of the lawsuit.
