COPYRIGHT AND REPRINT POLICY
COPYRIGHT POLICY
Copyright and Violations
Om-Times Magazine’s policy prohibits the use of copyrighted material in a manner that violates the copyright owner’s rights.
In general, this means that authors should only submit their own original written work to which they have natural copyright.
In cases where copyright is disputed – usually as a result of plagiarism or unauthorized copying – articles will be immediately removed without recourse or discussion, regardless of the arguments presented by the disputing parties.
Actions to Take in the Event of Copyright Violation
Copyright resides with the authors who submit to our newsletter, not with us. As a consequence, Om-Times Magazines has no legal standing to enforce copyright on behalf of authors.
In the event of copyright violation, we advise authors to exercise their rights under the The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 by taking the following steps:
1. Contact the offending party directly asking them to rectify the copyright violation.
2. If the above fails, contact the ISP that hosts the offending website and the domain registrar that holds the registration for the website domain.
3. Information for the domain registrar and hosting service can generally be obtained by doing a look up using any ‘Who Is’ service such as: http://www.whois.net or http://www.networksolutions.com
4. Most Domain Registrars and ISPs will respond to a copyright enforcement request by warning or suspending the offending party. If they fail to do so, have a lawyer make the same request in writing. This last action rarely fails to produce results.
