How to report copyright infringement on jlist.co.uk, and what happens after you do.

Last updated: 25 July 2026

JList respects copyright. If you own material that has been published on this site without permission, tell us and we will act on it promptly.

Filing a notice of infringement

Send your notice to legal@jlist.co.uk. To be actionable under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and equivalent UK provisions, it must include all of the following:

Required elementWhat to provide
Identification of the workA description of the copyrighted work you say has been infringed, with a link to where it was originally published
Identification of the materialThe exact URL on jlist.co.uk where the material appears, and which part of the page it is
Your contact detailsFull name, postal address, telephone number and email address
Good faith statementA statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law
Accuracy statementA statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are the owner or authorised to act on the owner's behalf
SignatureA physical or electronic signature

What we do when we receive one

We acknowledge valid notices within two working days. Where the notice is complete and the claim is clear, we remove or disable access to the material while we investigate, and we notify whoever posted it. Where a notice is incomplete we will tell you what is missing rather than ignoring it. If we conclude the use was lawful — for example because it falls within fair dealing for reporting, quotation, criticism or review — we will explain that to you in writing.

Counter-notice

If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to legal@jlist.co.uk containing your contact details, identification of the removed material and its former location, a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith it was removed by mistake, your consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate court, and your signature. We may restore the material after the statutory waiting period unless the original complainant notifies us of legal proceedings.

Repeat infringers

We terminate the accounts and end the relationships of contributors who repeatedly infringe copyright.

Misuse of this process

Filing a false or bad-faith notice can expose you to liability for damages and costs. We do not remove accurate journalism simply because a subject dislikes it, and we treat copyright notices sent for the purpose of suppressing lawful reporting accordingly.

Images and licensing

Images on this site are either produced by us, licensed from stock providers, supplied by the subject for publicity use, or used under fair dealing with credit. If you believe an image has been credited incorrectly, email us and we will fix the credit — that is usually faster than a formal notice.
