AT&T POLICIES FOR CONSIDERING COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS

Print

I. DMCA Copyright Notifications.

AT&T provides transitory digital network communications services, pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(a). In connection with such services, AT&T provides an online form that copyright holders should use to send notifications related to alleged copyright infringement by its users. Copyright holders should use this online form to submit complaints related to alleged peer-to-peer file sharing (i.e. sharing media files via peer-to-peer networking technology). By submitting complaints using this online form, we are able to more efficiently manage and process voluminous ISP Conduit Notices. Due to the substantial volume of copyright notices that AT&T receives, we are unable to guarantee processing of ISP Conduit Notices that are sent by other means. You can access AT&T's online form at att.com/p2pnotices. Please note that users must complete all fields in the online form before submitting.
 

Notices may also be sent 

  1. by email to copyright@att.com with all Required Information included in <xml> coding; or
  2. by mail, with all Required Information included, to AT&T’s Registered Agent at the below address:
    Registered Copyright Agent
