Copyright notices (DMCA)

If you believe work that belongs to you has been posted on this site without permission, I want to sort it out quickly and fairly. This page explains how.

What is FCBikeLibrary?

It’s a personal catalogue of Mac software that helps keep older machines useful — much like a community bike library keeps bikes on the road. I write short pages about programs, list versions and compatibility, and share install notes. The site does not host any software files. It is just a reference, run by me, Sam Okafor.

How to send a copyright notice

Please email your notice to [email protected]. To help me act quickly, include all of the following:

1. The exact page address (URL) where the material appears.
2. A clear description of the copyrighted work you say has been used without permission.
3. Proof that you own the work or are authorised to act for the owner — for example, a link to an official site or a short statement.
4. Your contact details: full name, email address, and a postal address if you are comfortable sharing one.
5. A good-faith statement that you believe use of the work is not authorised.
6. Your signature (a typed name at the end of the email is fine).

What happens after you send a notice

I will review your notice as soon as I am able. In most cases I reply within a few working days. If the notice is valid and complete, I will remove or disable access to the page described.

Counter-notices

If you believe material was taken down by mistake, you can send a counter-notice to the same address. It should include the page address that was removed, a good-faith statement that the removal was an error, your contact details, and a typed signature. I will forward it to the original complainant and may restore the page after a reasonable wait.
