The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the "DMCA")
provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that

under U.S. copyright law. If you believe that your work
has been copied and posted on the Website in a way that
constitutes copyright infringement, please provide our
copyright agent with the following information: (1) an
electronic or physical signature of the copyright owner

law; and (6) a statement by you, made under penalty of
perjury, that the above information in your notice is
accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized
to act on the copyright owner's behalf. Any notification
by a copyright owner or a person authorized to act on
its behalf that fails to comply with requirements of the
DMCA shall not be considered sufficient notice and shall
not be deemed to confer upon Mel Wear actual knowledge
of facts or circumstances from which infringing material
or acts are evident. Mel Wear's copyright agent for notice
