To every creator and photographer whose work inspires this site: thank you. Anchordeco exists because people share what they make, and if you ever find your work here, I want you to feel respected.
Where Anchordeco Gets Its Images
Pictures here are AI-generated illustrations. If a picture shared by someone else is ever used, it has the @handle of the account that shared it printed beneath it, linked to the post where it first appeared. Pictures made by other people belong to them. Short quotes and excerpts on Anchordeco are used under the fair use doctrine (17 U.S.C. § 107).
Three Things I Can Do for You
If you find your work on Anchordeco, tell me which you’d like:
- Credit. Your name and a link to your site or profile.
- A change. A different crop, size or link.
- Removal. The image comes down.
Email [email protected] with the page link and a link to your original. I’ll review it and remove the material promptly. A friendly email is plenty; you don’t have to start with a legal letter.
Formal Notices Under the DMCA
Anchordeco follows the DMCA process set out in 17 U.S.C. § 512. A copyright owner or someone authorized to act for them may send a written notice. A valid notice has 6 parts:
- A physical or electronic signature of the owner or of the person acting for them.
- A description of the copyrighted work you believe was copied, or a sample list if there are several.
- The location of the material on Anchordeco, such as the page URL, so it can be found.
- Your mailing address, telephone number and email address.
- A statement that you have a good faith belief the use isn’t authorized by you, your agent or the law.
- A statement that the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or are authorized to act for the owner.
Valid notices sent to Anchordeco are reviewed promptly, and the material may be removed or disabled.
If Your Content Was Removed in Error
You can send a counter-notification with 4 parts:
- A physical or electronic signature.
- A description of what was removed and the URL where it used to appear.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the removal was a mistake or a misidentification.
- Your name, address and telephone number, your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court where you live, and your agreement to accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice.
Once a valid counter-notification arrives, Anchordeco may put the material back in 10 to 14 business days, unless the original sender says they have gone to court.
A Note on False Claims
Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing can be held liable for damages.
Repeat Infringement
Anchordeco will, in appropriate circumstances, end access for repeat infringers.
