DMCA and copyright policy

How to report copyright infringement on albertlane.net, how to answer a takedown, how we handle repeat infringers, and how to report someone infringing Albert Lane's own works.

Last updated November 10, 2026. Applies to albertlane.net and all its subdomains, including AR^OS, Lane-VM, investors, swarm, forge, ledger and research.

Designated agent

1. Sending a takedown notice

If you believe material on these sites infringes your copyright, send a written notice to the designated agent. Under 17 U.S.C. 512(c)(3), the notice must include all of the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act for them.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work you say is infringed (or, for many works on one site, a representative list).
3. Identification of the material you say is infringing and that you want removed or disabled, with enough information for us to find it. The exact URL is best.
4. Your contact information: name, postal address, telephone number and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
6. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner.

Notices missing these elements may not be acted on. Please consider fair use before sending one. Under 17 U.S.C. 512(f), anyone who knowingly misrepresents that material is infringing (or was removed by mistake) can be liable for damages.

What happens next

When we get a complete notice, we remove or disable the material promptly, tell the person who posted it (with a copy of the notice), and log the notice. We may also send a copy to the public license-violations record or to Lumen with personal contact details removed.

2. Sending a counter-notice

If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake or misidentification, you can send a counter-notice to the designated agent. Under 17 U.S.C. 512(g)(3) it must include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and where it appeared before it was removed.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. federal district court for the judicial district where your address is (or, if your address is outside the United States, any judicial district in which Albert Lane may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice or their agent.

We forward a complete counter-notice to the person who sent the original notice. Unless they tell us they have filed a court action to stop the infringement, we restore the material in 10 to 14 business days after we receive the counter-notice.

3. Repeat-infringer policy

We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts and access of users who are repeat infringers. In practice: an account or person with three valid takedown notices against it that were not successfully countered within any 12-month period is banned from every albertlane.net site and service. A single serious case (for example, deliberate mass copying) can lead to a ban sooner. Each step is logged under the Acceptable Use Policy enforcement ladder.

4. Reporting infringement of Albert Lane's works

Albert Lane's code, documents, photos, video, designs, research and marks are protected under the Albert Lane Proprietary Software License. If you see them copied, republished, scraped into a dataset, used to train an AI model, or sold without a license, please tell us:

• Email lane.albert@pm.me with the subject "Infringement report".
• Include the URL or location of the copy, which of Albert's works it copies (a link to the original on albertlane.net helps), when you saw it, and a screenshot or saved copy if you have one.
• You can stay anonymous. We won't publish your name or contact details without your permission.

Confirmed cases go on the public license-violations record, and Albert Lane decides what further action to take, such as a takedown notice to the host.
