The Center for Computer-Assisted Legal Instruction (“CALI”) abides by the United States federal Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), by responding to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the DMCA and other applicable laws. As part of CALI’s response, a decision may be made to remove access or disable access to material residing on a site that is controlled or operated by CALI, (such as cali.org, Classcaster.org or learnthelaw.org.) and where the material is claimed to be infringing. CALI may also make a good faith attempt to contact the person who submitted the affected material so that they may make a counter notification, under the terms of the DMCA. You may wish to consult a lawyer to determine your rights and obligations under the DMCA and any other applicable laws. Nothing here or anywhere on CALI’s websites should be construed as legal advice. The following notice requirements are intended only to comply with CALI’s rights and obligations under the DMCA and, in particular, 17 U.S.C. section 512(c), and do not constitute legal advice.
