Digital Millennium Copyright Act
DMCA Policy
Effective Date: September 13, 2025
Welcome to https://richardalanmiller.com (the “Website”). We respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect our users to do the same. Pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), Title 17, United States Code, Section 512(c), a copyright owner or their authorized agent may submit a takedown notice to us via our DMCA Agent listed below. As an internet service provider, we are entitled to claim immunity from infringement claims under the “safe harbor” provisions of the DMCA. This policy applies to all content on the Website, including products (books, digital downloads, subscriptions), services (consultations, courses, training, interviews), user-generated content (e.g., comments, reviews), and social media interactions.
Notice of Infringement – Claim
To submit a good faith copyright infringement claim, you must provide a written notice to our DMCA Agent that includes the following information, per 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3):
A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (e.g., title, description, or a copy of the work).
Identification of the material claimed to be infringing, with information reasonably sufficient to allow us to locate it (e.g., the specific URL of the material on the Website).
Your contact information, including your name, physical address, email address, and phone number.
A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, their agent, or the law.
A statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
Send all takedown notices to our DMCA Agent at:
Email: drram@richardalanmiller.com
Please note that, pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages, including costs and attorney fees. We may share your identity and the details of your infringement claim with the alleged infringer. By submitting a claim, you consent to this disclosure.
Counter Notification – Restoration of Material
If material you posted on the Website has been removed or disabled due to a DMCA takedown notice, you may submit a counter-notification to request restoration, per 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3). The counter-notification must be in writing, sent to our DMCA Agent, and include the following:
Your physical or electronic signature.
A description of the material that was removed and its original location on the Website before removal.
A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the District of Oregon (or, if you are outside the United States, any judicial district in which the Website may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original infringement notification.

Repeat Infringer Policy
We take copyright infringement seriously. Pursuant to the DMCA’s repeat infringer policy requirements (17 U.S.C. § 512(i)), we maintain a record of DMCA notices received from copyright holders and make a good faith effort to identify repeat infringers. Users who violate our internal repeat infringer policy will have their accounts terminated and access to the Website, including products, services, subscriptions, and social media features, revoked.
Data Retention for DMCA Notices
We retain information provided in DMCA notices and counter-notifications as required by law or for legitimate business purposes (e.g., to enforce our Terms of Use or resolve disputes). Retention periods are governed by our Privacy Policy (Section 4), available on the Website.
Modifications
We reserve the right to modify this DMCA Policy at any time. Changes will be posted on this page, and your continued use of the Website constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically for any changes.
