DMCA and copyright
A reply usually takes a week or so. I read every message myself. If the email lands during a busy stretch it may take a little longer, but I don’t let them pile up.
Repeat problems get a standing rule. When a rights holder has sent a valid notice about the same work before, and a new mention of that work appears on a catalog page, I remove it immediately and notify the holder. No second notice is required.
What the site hosts
Sanomono is a catalog. The pages list Mac software, show compatibility details, and keep older builds visible for older machines. I write short notes about each program myself.
The site does not host installer files, disk images, or zipped archives. No downloads live on this server. When a page links to an external download, the link points to the developer’s own site.
Sending a notice
If something here belongs to you and you want it removed, send a clear, complete notice to [email protected]. I act on properly formed notices every time.
A notice must include six things:
- The exact page address where the material appears. One address per notice works best; if several pages are involved, list each one.
- Identification of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed. If the work is a software title, include its full name and version. If it spans multiple items, describe them concisely.
- Proof that you own the work or are authorized to act for the owner. A link to an official site, a company domain in your email address, a brief statement of your relationship to the rights holder—something that lets me verify the authority.
- Your contact details: name, email address, and a physical or business address. I don’t publish these.
- A good-faith statement that says you believe the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- Your signature. An electronic signature is fine: your typed name at the end of the email counts, as does a scanned signed statement attached as a PDF.
What happens next
I confirm receipt within a few days. Then I check the notice, look at the page, and remove the material if the notice is valid. That usually means deleting the listing and any notes that reference the work.
After removal I email you to say it is done. I don’t restore the material unless we agree in writing or circumstances clearly change.
A note on user comments
Catalog pages can carry user comments. I moderate every one before it appears. If a comment includes material you believe infringes your copyright, a notice covering that comment works the same way. Point me to the specific comment, follow the same six points, and I will remove it.
Questions about the process are welcome at the same address. I prefer straightforward correspondence with as little friction as possible.
