Abuse, DMCA, and Counter Notification Policy
Report Abuse Violation
Please send abuse reports to [email protected]. Be sure to include the file’s URL in the email and describe the file’s content in detail, explaining why it is abusive. Please provide as much detail as possible. Reports that lack a clear and detailed explanation of the file’s content may be ignored.
A. Copyright Takedown Notification
Please send DMCA reports to [email protected] or [email protected].
Copyright is a form of protection so creators and subsequent owners of original works can control how the works are used. Copyright infringement occurs when a copyrighted work is reproduced, distributed, performed, publicly displayed, or made into a derivative work without the permission of the copyright owner.
FileLu complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and promptly suspends content from access when properly notified.
If your copyright-protected work was uploaded on FileLu.com without authorization, you can submit a copyright takedown request. Submitting a takedown request will start a legal process.
Do not make false claims. Misuse of the copyright takedown request, such as submitting false information or false claims, may result in the suspension of your account or other legal consequences.
Persons or entities who have large numbers of files or a frequent need to notify FileLu of copyright infringement may apply for FileLu DMCA Auto Approved and Auto Removal Program.
How to write a proper DMCA notice
- Identify yourself as the owner of copyrighted work or exclusive rights that you believe were infringed, or a person acting on behalf of such owner, and provide a physical or electronic signature.
- Specify the copyrighted work that you believe is being infringed, or if many works are being infringed, provide a representative list of the works.
-
Identify the location of materials that are infringing your copyrighted work by providing web URLs on FileLu.com.
Please do not send attached images, PDFs, or other file formats. Send only plain text URLs in the letter body.
Example:
https://filelu.com/xxxxxxxxxxxxorhttps://file.lu/d/xxx. - State your contact information, including your name, street address, phone number, and email address. If you are acting on behalf of the copyright owner, describe your affiliation with the copyright holder.
- State that you have “a good faith belief that use of the aforementioned material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agents, or the law.”
-
State that the information in the notice is accurate, under penalty of perjury. Include this 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.

Failure to include all required information may result in a delay in processing the DMCA notification. Please note that under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability.
If FileLu receives proper notification of claimed copyright infringement reports, as required by law, we will expeditiously suspend access to content from our website. We may forward your email address to the file uploader you reported.
If a counterclaim is not filed or is unsuccessful, access to the content is permanently suspended from our service. FileLu may not necessarily send the reporter a confirmation about takedown actions.
Users who have the same content in their account will be restricted from distributing that same content. That content may also be restricted from being reuploaded to FileLu servers.
In accordance with our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, non-public information about FileLu account holders is not released except as lawfully required by appropriate legal process such as a subpoena, court order, or other valid legal process.
B. Counter Copyright Notification
If you believe your own copyrighted material was removed from the site as a result of a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter notification using the contact information below.
To be an effective counter notification under the DMCA, your counter notification must include substantially the following:
- Identification of the material that has been removed or disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled.
- A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court in which your address is located, or if your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which we are located.
- A statement that you will accept service of process from the party that filed the notification or the party’s agent.
- Your name, address, and telephone number.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material in question was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification.
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Email your counter notification to: [email protected].
We will forward your counterclaim, which includes your personal information, to the party who submitted the original claim of copyright infringement. By submitting a counterclaim, you consent to having your name and contact information revealed.
If you send us a valid written counter notification meeting the requirements described above, we will restore your suspended material unless we first receive notice from the party filing the notification that such party has filed a court action to restrain you from engaging in infringing activity related to the material.
Please note that if you materially misrepresent that the disabled or removed content was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may be liable for damages, including costs and attorney’s fees. Filing a false counter notification constitutes perjury.
If your counterclaim is successful, the strike will be removed and the file or files in this case will be restored.
By submitting the report, you agree for us to reveal your information to the related party, such as the file owner, file uploader, or DMCA file reporter.
