Copyright notices

How to report content that infringes a copyright, and how to answer a report.

Last updated October 29, 2026

Killer Pilots respects the rights of photographers, videographers and other creators. If you believe something on the site infringes a copyright you own or control, this page explains how to tell us and what happens next. It follows the notice and takedown process in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

What to send

A notice needs to include:

A description of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed, or a representative list if there are several.
The URL of each item on killerpilots.us or killerpilots.com that you want removed, specific enough for us to find it.
Your name, postal address, telephone number and email address.
A statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner of the copyright or authorized to act for the owner.
Your physical or electronic signature.

Where to send it

Email the notice to [email protected] with the subject line "Copyright notice". A postal address for our designated agent is being registered with the US Copyright Office and will be listed here when it is complete.

What we do

When we receive a complete notice, we remove or disable access to the material, usually within two business days, and tell the account that posted it why. We keep a record of the notice. If a notice is incomplete, we will ask you for the missing details before we act.

Counter notices

If your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake, send a counter notice to the same address with the subject line "Copyright counter notice". It needs to include:

The material that was removed and the URL where it appeared.
A statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith the material was removed by mistake or misidentification.
Your name, address and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your district (or, if you are outside the United States, any district in which Killer Pilots may be found) and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice.
Your physical or electronic signature.

We forward the counter notice to the person who sent the original notice. Unless they tell us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action to keep the material down, we restore it between 10 and 14 business days after we receive your counter notice.
