DMCA Policy

Last updated: May 2026

This DMCA Policy describes how iloveimg.online responds to notices of claimed copyright infringement under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512), and equivalent processes under EU and Italian copyright law.

1. Designated agent

Email: dmca [at] iloveimg [punto] online
Subject line: DMCA takedown
Operator: Giovanni Picaro

2. What iloveimg.online publishes (context for DMCA)

The Site publishes:

Conversion-engine wrapper code & Laravel application
Trust pages and editorial content (this 22-page set; FAQ; format-catalog descriptions; converter-page educational content)

The Site does NOT host:

User-uploaded images persistently — uploads auto-deleted within an hour.
Music, video, or large media files.
Galleries or image collections.
User-generated-content systems (no comments, no forums, no user accounts that publish content).

This means typical DMCA notice contexts (image-gallery infringement, embedded video copyright, user-generated content) generally do not apply. DMCA notices are most likely to be about:

Trust-page editorial content claimed to be reproduced from another source.
Format-catalog content claimed to be reproduced from documentation.
Editorial / converter-page content claimed to be substantively copied.

3. Image content uploaded for conversion

Per Data Handling: image uploads are auto-deleted within an hour. By the time most DMCA notices reach us about a specific upload, the upload is already gone. We cooperate with valid legal process where retrievable metadata exists in server logs (limited to access logs, retained 30 days).

4. What a valid DMCA notice should contain

Per 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), a valid notice must contain:

Physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized agent.
Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (with reasonable specificity).
Identification of the allegedly infringing material with sufficient detail for us to locate it (URLs).
Contact information of the complaining party (address, telephone, email).
Good-faith statement that the use is not authorized by copyright owner, agent, or law.
Statement under penalty of perjury that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

5. Sample notice template

To: dmca [at] iloveimg [punto] online
Subject: DMCA takedown notice

I am the [copyright owner / authorized agent] of [work].

Copyrighted work: [description, with link to original if available]

Allegedly infringing URL on iloveimg.online: [specific URL]

[Description of the alleged infringement.]

My contact information:
Name: [name]
Address: [address]
Telephone: [phone]
Email: [email]

I have a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner
complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.

I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in this notification
is accurate and that I am the copyright owner or authorized to act on the
copyright owner's behalf.

Signature: [name and date]

6. What we will do upon receiving a valid notice

Acknowledge receipt within 3 business days.
Review the notice for facial validity.
Where the notice is valid: remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material expeditiously.
Maintain a record of takedowns for repeat-infringer enforcement.

7. Counter-notice procedure (17 U.S.C. § 512(g))

If material has been removed in response to a DMCA notice and you believe the removal was in error, you may submit a counter-notice containing:

Physical or electronic signature.
Identification of the material that was removed and its location before removal.
Statement under penalty of perjury that you have good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
Your name, address, and telephone, and consent to jurisdiction of federal district court (U.S.) or relevant Italian courts.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant and restore the material between 10 and 14 business days unless the original complainant files a lawsuit and notifies us.

Counter-notices: dmca [at] iloveimg [punto] online, subject DMCA counter-notice.

8. Repeat-infringer policy

Per 17 U.S.C. § 512(i): in appropriate circumstances, we may terminate access for users demonstrating a pattern of repeated infringement. Given the Site's auto-deletion architecture, repeat-infringer enforcement primarily applies to user-correspondence patterns and IP-level rate limits.

9. False / abusive DMCA notices

Per 17 U.S.C. § 512(f): a person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages. We document patterns of abusive notices and may decline to act on notices from parties demonstrating a pattern of abuse.

10. EU / Italian copyright framework

For non-U.S. complainants:

EU Directive 2000/31/EC (e-commerce) Article 14 hosting safe harbor applies in the EU.
EU Directive 2019/790 (Copyright in DSM) applies for relevant content categories.
Italian L. 633/1941 applies to Italian copyright matters.
The substantive process is similar to DMCA: identification of work, identification of allegedly infringing material, good-faith statement, contact information.

Italian / EU complainants may use the same address: dmca [at] iloveimg [punto] online.

11. AGCOM (Italian Communications Authority) framework

For Italian readers: AGCOM has its own copyright-enforcement procedure under Resolution 680/13/CONS. The Site cooperates with valid AGCOM proceedings.

12. What we do NOT respond to

Notices that do not identify a copyrighted work.
Notices that do not identify a specific URL on iloveimg.online.
Notices that target content on third-party sites (we cannot remove content from sites we don't operate).
Notices that lack required statements.
Notices about expired uploads. Image uploads auto-delete within an hour; once gone, there's nothing to remove.
Notices that target conversion libraries (ImageMagick, libheif, etc.) where we are not the library author and the library is being used in compliance with its license.

13. Cooperation with hosting infrastructure

The Site is hosted on Hosting.com infrastructure with Cloudflare CDN. Where appropriate, complainants may also pursue takedown directly with hosting providers.

14. Updates

This Policy is reviewed periodically and updated as legal frameworks evolve.
