Copyright Infringement

Eons respects the intellectual property of others, and we ask our Registered Members and Registered HQ Members to do the same.

Eons reserves the right, in its discretion, to remove any Member Content if we believe it may infringe the copyright rights of others, and/or to terminate the accounts of Members who we believe to be infringers.

If you believe that your work has been copied and posted on the website in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, we will respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the "DMCA"), a federal law that provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. The requirements for notices under the DMCA can be found at here.
