True adBlocker does not condone the use of our service to facilitate copyright infringement. We respect and abide by U.S. copyright laws including the requirements of the DMCA and rely on our users to do the same.

True adBlocker implements an automated virtual private network (“adBlocker”) service. Our service is fully automated and we do not log our user’s activities. We do not in any way select the recipients our users transmit to or the material our users access while using our service. We do not store, access, or modify any content that our users access while using our service.

As a result, True adBlocker’s adBlocker service qualifies as a provider of transitory digital network communications under 17 U.S.C. § 512(a) of the Copyright Act. As we do not store any content accessed by our users, we are unable to delete any such content that may be infringing. Because we do not log our users’ activities in order to protect and respect their privacy, we are unable to identify particular users that may be infringing the lawful copyrights of others.

Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) Takedown Notices

That being said, True adBlocker will do its best to assist copyright owners and their agents that report copyright infringement by a user that is using our services to the extent we can. However, before investigating any report of copyright infringement, we require the copyright owner or its authorized agent to give us a valid and complete DMCA takedown notices if you wish to report what you believe is infringing activity by a third party using True adBlocker’s adBlocker service. If you are unsure as to whether content on the True adBlocker network infringes your copyrights, then please first contact an attorney. Please deliver your notices to True adBlocker’s designated DMCA email address.

Pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), all of the following items are required for our agent to investigate your notice:

An identification in sufficient detail of the copyrighted work you believe to have been infringed; An identification of the content that is alleged to be infringing (all items should be mentioned separately); Sufficient information to help Privateinernetaccess.com to locate the allegedly infringing content; Sufficient contact information to notify the reporting party of True adBlocker’s response (please include a physical address, telephone number, and email address); The following statement: “I have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted materials in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.”; An identification of the user who may be responsible for the infringing activity; The following statement: “I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.”; A physical or electronic signature of the owner or their authorized agent; and Send the correspondence to the following address: True adBlocker Attn: DMCA Complaint Email: [email protected]

Upon receipt of your DMCA takedown notice, we will make reasonable attempts to assist you if we can, recognizing that our system is designed to maximize users privacy and that we maintain no logs tracking our users’ activities. If a notice lacks any of the aforementioned necessary elements, it may be deemed an invalid notice and True adBlocker will not attempt to investigate it.

Please be aware that pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing or that that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, shall be liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, by any copyright owner or copyright owner’s authorized licensee, or by a service provider, who is injured by such misrepresentation, as the result of the service provider relying upon such misrepresentation in removing or disabling access to the material or activity claimed to be infringing, or in replacing the removed material or ceasing to disable access to it.
