If you decide to request the removal of content by submitting an infringement notification, please keep in mind that this initiates a legal process. In some circumstances, it is possible to use a copyright-protected work without infringing the owner’s copyright such as when use of the material is within the scope of “fair use”. Consideration of the “fair use” exclusion is most pertinent when avoiding frivolous claims in the case of infringement allegations.
