Here at Oxnard24, we believe in giving credit where credit is due. Copyright protects the original work of creators, and we respect that. We don’t want to be the platform where someone’s hard work gets used without permission.
If you believe something on our website infringes on your copyright, there’s a way to get it taken down. It’s called a DMCA takedown notice, and it’s a formal way to let us know about the issue.
What Goes in a DMCA Takedown Notice?
Think of it like a detective report for copyright. It should include:
- Proof you own the copyrighted work: This could be your name or the name of your company, along with some verification.
- Details about the copyrighted work: Be specific! Tell us exactly what’s being infringed, like a song, article, or image.
- Where the infringing material is: Pinpoint the exact webpage or post where you found the issue.
- Your contact information: We need a way to reach you if we have questions.
- A sincere statement: Basically, say you believe the material is being used without your permission.
- Confirmation under penalty of perjury: This is a fancy way of saying you’re telling the truth and have the legal right to make this claim.
How to Submit a DMCA Takedown Notice:
Just send an email with all the above information to [email protected]. We take these notices seriously and will investigate them promptly.
What Happens Next?
If the DMCA notice is valid, we’ll remove the infringing material as soon as possible. We also take repeat offenders seriously and may terminate their accounts on our platform.
Unsure About Copyright?
Copyright can be a complex topic. If you’re not sure if your work is protected or have questions about the DMCA process, consider consulting with a lawyer. They can provide specific guidance for your situation.

By respecting copyright, we can all help foster a vibrant online community where creators are valued and their work is protected. We appreciate your cooperation!
