What SOHK hosts
Students can paste or upload notes and syllabi to build private courses and cards
(user_courses, user_course_topics, user_cards) and upload images. This material is
private to the student's account and not published to other users.
Takedown notice — must include (§ 512(c)(3))
- Physical or electronic signature of the owner or authorized agent.
- Identification of the copyrighted work.
- Identification of the material and enough information to locate it (account email or course name if known).
- Contact information for the complaining party.
- A good-faith statement that the use is not authorized.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and the sender is authorized.
Our process
- Log the notice (date received, sender, work, material). Do not reply with student data.
- If complete, expeditiously disable access to or remove the identified material, and notify the student by account email with a copy of the notice (minus sender personal data where appropriate).
- Counter-notice (§ 512(g)): a student may send a counter-notice with signature, identification of the removed material, a statement under penalty of perjury of good-faith belief of mistake or misidentification, name/address/phone, and consent to federal court jurisdiction. We forward it to the complainant and restore the material in 10–14 business days unless the complainant reports filing suit.
- Repeat infringers: accounts subject to 3 valid, uncontested notices (strikes) within 12 months are terminated (Terms section 18). Withdrawn or successfully countered notices are not strikes.
- We keep the notice log for 3 years.
