"Pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the 'DMCA'), under 17 U.S.C. §§ 512(b)–(d), a copyright holder may send AT&T a valid notification of claimed copyright infringement under the DMCA if they believe that their work has been copied and has been posted, stored, or transmitted to the Sites in a way that constitutes copyright infringement. AT&T's designated agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement as described in DMCA subsection 512(c)(3) is: Registered Copyright Agent Attn: Phillip White 1277 Lenox Park Blvd NE Atlanta, GA 30319 (404) 368-6952 E-mail: copyright@att.comExcerpt from AT&T's Terms of Service
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision directly implements the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998, specifically 17 U.S.C. sections 512(b)-(d) and 512(c)(3). DMCA compliance is overseen by the U.S. Copyright Office, and failure to maintain a properly registered designated agent may affect AT&T's eligibility for safe harbor protections. The FTC is not directly relevant to this provision. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low. This is a standard DMCA compliance provision. The document provides complete designated agent contact information as required by 17 U.S.C. section 512(c)(2). No unusual operational exposure is created by this clause. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: DMCA safe harbor provisions apply to U.S. law; users and copyright holders in EU/EEA jurisdictions operate under the EU Copyright Directive, which has its own notice-and-takedown framework. International copyright holders should assess which regime applies to their specific situation. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Content platform operators and developers using AT&T's sites should ensure their own DMCA compliance procedures are in place separately. This provision governs AT&T's designated agent, not the obligations of third-party operators or developers. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Copyright holders wishing to submit infringement notices should ensure submissions comply with DMCA section 512(c)(3) requirements to constitute valid notification. AT&T's policy states it processes a substantial volume of notifications and does not accept notices outside the specified statutory framework through this channel.
