How long does it take to establish DMCA Agent?
« on: October 13, 2014, 06:07:15 PM »


Hi guys, so I filled out this form: http://www.copyright.gov/onlinesp/agent.pdf  And paid the $115 to become a DMCA agent for my site. 

This was over 6 weeks ago and I've received no communication and the check I sent appears to not have been cashed yet (still stunned these people use checks, but that's another story).

Anyway.... is this normal?  Am I supposed to receive some kind of confirmation?

I think Buddhapi might know the answer to this. He might chime in here.
I'm a non-lawyer but not legally ignorant either. Under the 1st Amendment, I have the right to post facts & opinions using rhetorical hyperbole, colloquialisms, metaphors, parody, snark, or epithets. Under Section 230 of CDA, I'm only responsible for posts I write, not what others write.

It could take months, it the US Government! I probably would have sent it registered mail receipt, to confirm they even got it..

this is an old post and the prices have changed, but everything else is still the same I believe.

Assuming you have all the required information and have submitted the form correctly, it will get done in due time..
Most questions have already been addressed in the forums, get yourself educated before making decisions.

Any advice is strictly that, and anything I may state is based on my opinions, and observations.
