When we find infringement, we will:
- Invoice the website owner for a retroactive licensing fee. Our standard fee is $10 per day, per article or portion thereof.
- File a notification with Google, Yahoo, MSN, and other search engines that you have violated the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Search engines regularly remove DMCA violators from their database.

If, upon notification of violation, you do not remove the offending content in a timely manner, we will:
- Petition your web host to shut down your account. Most web hosting companies have “abuse” departments to handle such requests.
- Refer your violation to our law firm for appropriate action.
