DMCA & Copyright Policy

At Cook Echo, we value the rights of content creators and expect our users to do the same. In compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), Title 17, United States Code, Section 512(c), copyright owners or their authorized representatives may submit valid takedown requests to our designated DMCA Agent.

As an online service provider, we adhere to the DMCA’s “safe harbor” provisions, which limit our liability for copyright infringement claims when we comply with applicable laws.
