DMCA

When a person creates an original work that is fixed in a physical medium, that person automatically owns copyright to the work. Copyright ownership gives the owner the exclusive right to use the work in certain, specific ways. Many types of works are eligible for copyright protection, including audiovisual words, sound recordings and musical compositions, written works, visual works, video games and computer software, and dramatic works.

In some circumstances, it is possible to use a copyrighted work without infringing the owner’s copyright. For example, in the United States, copyrights are limited by the doctrine of “fair use,” which permits certain uses of copyrighted material, such as parody, satire, and social commentary.

Designs selected by Shop Kazuko are new, original, and/or transformative works that may parody, satirize, or provide social commentary on other copyrighted works. Shop Kazuko and the selected designs make only fair use of the copyrighted works of others. Shop Kazuko respects the copyrights of others, and  is not affiliated with the owners of the copyrights to which the selected designs may refer.

It is Shop Kazuko policy to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512, and other applicable laws. The response may include removing or disabling access to a design claimed to be infringing. 

Please refer to the following detailed instructions which must be followed to protect your rights under the DMCA.
