We reserve the right to terminate the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers, regardless of whether formal DMCA notices have been filed for each instance.
5. False Claims

Under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that content is infringing or that content was removed by mistake may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees.
