Copyright (DMCA)

Report an image on TopGeorgia that copies your work.

Our policy

Businesses and fans upload their own photos and logos to TopGeorgia. We respect copyright and respond to notices under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. 512). If an image on a listing or fan page copies your work without permission, send a notice below. A person reviews every notice. When a notice is complete, we take the image down and tell the person whose page it was on.

We end the accounts of people who repeatedly upload work that isn’t theirs. Something else wrong with a page? Who can be on the board explains how to report it.
