DMCA Takedown Policy

Our Commitment

1990 Web Archive respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. As a digital preservation platform, we comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and similar international copyright laws. While our mission is to archive the early web for historical and educational purposes, we will promptly address any legitimate copyright infringement claims.

• A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf

• Your physical or electronic signature
• Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled
• 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, telephone number, and email address, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or a foreign country if outside the U.S.), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notice

Repeat Infringer Policy

1990 Web Archive reserves the right to terminate, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, the accounts of users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. We will also, in appropriate circumstances, limit access to our archive services for users who have engaged in repeat infringement.
