We do due diligence on every single takedown we get, inform designers how to issue a counter DMCA if applicable, give them a 24 hour warning before removing models, and offer to put them in touch with the other party.<\/p>\n<p>As a service provider, our liability is protected by the Digital Millennium\u00a0Copyright\u00a0Act under their Safe Harbor provision.\u00a0We outline this<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/archives\/19789-copyright-3d-printing-and-you-what-does-it-all-mean.html\">\u00a0detailed process and guidelines<\/a>, and encourage all our designers and any copyright holders to follow it to ensure swift action on our part.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of Left Shark, Fernando, the designer, chose to send us a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/legal\/content_policy\" target=\"_blank\">counter DMCA Notice<\/a>, disputing Katy Perry&#8217;s rights to Left Shark.

As per our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/legal\/content_policy\" target=\"_blank\">Content Policy<\/a>, once we receive a counter DMCA, we can reinstate the model while the two parties decide what to do. In this case, we encouraged Katy Perry to send us a properly formatted DMCA Takedown instead of a cease and desist.
