PageLab is operated by Orbyt LLC. This page carries our designated agent for copyright notices, what a takedown notice has to contain, how to counter-notify if your work was removed by mistake, and what happens to an account that infringes repeatedly. The agent details below are registered with the U.S. Copyright Office and are the ones on file there.
Designated agent for copyright notices
Kevin Haines, Designated Agent
Orbyt LLC
73 Liberty St.
Owego, NY 13827
United States
Telephone: 315-706-7090
Email: official@orbytgames.com
Orbyt LLC is a New York limited liability company at that same street address, and it
operates PageLab, pagelab.kodiakgaming.club and the PageLab mobile app. Notices
may be sent by email or post; email is faster and is what we recommend.
This designation is also on file in the Copyright Office's public directory at dmca.copyright.gov. If the two ever differ, tell us — they are meant to be identical and a mismatch is a defect on our side.
Sending a takedown notice
A notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) must include all six of the following. A notice missing any of them may not have legal effect, so we would rather tell you what to include than reject one on a technicality:
- Your signature, physical or electronic. Typing your full name at the foot of an email counts.
- Identification of the copyrighted work you say has been infringed. If several works are covered by one notice, a representative list is enough.
- Identification of the material you say is infringing, with enough detail for us to find it. A direct link is best. If you cannot link to it — because it is inside a group or a private conversation — describe where it is and we will locate it.
- How to reach you: address, telephone number, and email address.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement that the information is accurate, and — under penalty of perjury — that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act for them.
§ 512(f) is real. Anyone who knowingly, materially misrepresents that material is infringing is liable for damages, including costs and legal fees, to the person harmed by the removal. A takedown notice is not a way to win an argument, remove a bad review, or unmask an account.
Counter-notification
If your work was removed or restricted and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you can send a counter-notice to the same agent. Under § 512(g)(3) it must contain:
- Your signature, physical or electronic.
- Identification of the material that was removed, and where it appeared before it was removed.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
- Your name, address and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the district in which your address is located — or, if your address is outside the United States, any district in which Orbyt LLC may be found — and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice.
We forward a valid counter-notice to whoever sent the original notice, including your name and address, because § 512(g)(2) requires it. Say so if that is a problem for you and we will tell you what your options are before anything is sent — but we cannot forward it anonymously and also restore your material under the statute.
If we receive no notice that the complainant has filed a court action seeking to restrain you, we restore the material not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days after receiving your counter-notice.
Repeat infringers
Accounts that infringe repeatedly are terminated. This is not a formality we recite — it runs on the same sanctions ladder as every other kind of enforcement on PageLab, and every step is written to the moderation record with the reason attached:
- A warning, which does not count toward the ban tally but is on the record and is visible to the next moderator who looks.
- A seven-day suspension.
- A six-month suspension.
- A permanent ban.
A moderator reviewing a case sees the account's prior sanctions and its count of open reports before acting, so escalation is a decision made with the history in view rather than a counter that trips on its own. Where a case is serious enough to warrant a permanent ban, it requires a second staff signature.
Terminating an account does not by itself delete the material. Content taken down for infringement stays down.
What the product does on its own, before anyone reads a notice
Worth being exact about, because it is not the same for every kind of content and the difference matters if you are waiting on a removal:
- A post or a comment is never restricted automatically for copyright or plagiarism, however many people report it. Both are ownership disputes: they cannot be judged from outside the dispute, and a crowd of reporters is not evidence of who owns something. They always wait for a person.
- A formal notice to the agent above does not wait for any threshold. It goes to a person directly. That is the difference between reporting something in the app and sending a notice under the statute.
Reporting inside the app instead
If you are not the rights holder, or you would rather not send a legal notice, the in-product report control takes Copyright and Plagiarism as reasons on posts and replies. That reaches the same moderation queue. It is not a § 512 notice and does not carry the statutory consequences in either direction.
