How We Review Copyright Complaints
When MilitaryCompare.com receives a sufficiently detailed copyright complaint, we may review:
- The copyrighted work identified by the complainant
- The specific material reported on MilitaryCompare.com
- The URL where the material appears
- Information regarding ownership or authorization
- The nature and context of the disputed use
- Any other information relevant to evaluating the complaint
If a complaint appears valid, we may take appropriate action, which can include removing, replacing, modifying, or disabling access to the disputed material.
Submitting a copyright complaint does not automatically result in removal. We may review the claim before taking action where reasonably possible.
Incomplete Copyright Notices
We may be unable to properly investigate a copyright complaint if the notice does not provide enough information to identify the copyrighted work or the allegedly infringing material.
If necessary, we may request additional information from the person submitting the complaint.
Providing the exact MilitaryCompare.com URL and clearly identifying the disputed material can significantly improve the review process.
Counter-Notification
If material is removed or disabled following a copyright complaint and the affected party believes the material was removed because of mistake or misidentification, a counter-notification may be submitted where applicable.
A counter-notification should provide sufficient information to identify:
- The material that was removed or disabled
- The URL where the material previously appeared
- The reason the removal is believed to have resulted from mistake or misidentification
- Contact information for the person submitting the counter-notification
- Any declarations required under applicable copyright law
- A physical or electronic signature where required
We may request additional information before evaluating or acting on a counter-notification.
Images, Graphics, Charts, and Other Media
Copyright concerns are not limited to written articles.
If you believe that an image, photograph, illustration, chart, graphic, video, or other media item appearing on MilitaryCompare.com infringes your copyright, please identify the specific material and provide the exact page URL where it appears.
The fact that material is publicly accessible elsewhere on the internet does not automatically mean that it is free from copyright protection.
MilitaryCompare.com aims to respect applicable intellectual property rights when publishing or using visual and written material.
Military Facts and Public Information
MilitaryCompare.com frequently discusses factual information such as:
- Military personnel numbers
- Aircraft inventories
- Tank and armored vehicle totals
- Naval fleet composition
- Defense budgets
- Military rankings
- Geographic information
- Public defense statistics
Facts and publicly available data may be researched from multiple sources. However, the original expression, writing, photography, illustrations, graphics, and other protected material created by third parties may be subject to copyright protection.
Our objective is to create original explanations, analysis, comparisons, and presentation rather than reproduce substantial copyrighted expression belonging to another publisher.
False or Misleading Copyright Claims
Copyright complaints should be submitted in good faith.
Please do not submit a copyright complaint if you do not own the copyrighted material, are not authorized to represent the copyright owner, or do not otherwise have a legitimate basis for the claim.
Knowingly submitting false or materially misleading information in connection with a copyright claim may have legal consequences under applicable law.
Copyright Complaints vs Factual Corrections
Copyright complaints and factual corrections are handled differently.
A copyright complaint concerns the unauthorized use of copyrighted material.
A factual correction concerns potentially inaccurate or outdated information, such as an incorrect military ranking, defense budget, personnel number, aircraft inventory, or equipment classification.
If you believe information in one of our articles is factually incorrect rather than copyright-infringing, please follow our Corrections Policy or contact us through the Contact Us page.
Repeat or Serious Copyright Issues
If repeated or serious copyright problems are identified, MilitaryCompare.com may take additional reasonable measures to prevent the same infringing material from being published again.
Where user-generated content features are available, we may also restrict access or submissions from users who repeatedly submit material that infringes third-party intellectual property rights.
No Guarantee Regarding Third-Party Claims
MilitaryCompare.com reviews copyright complaints based on the information reasonably available to us.
We cannot independently determine every ownership dispute between third parties.
Where a copyright dispute involves complex ownership or licensing questions, the parties involved may need to resolve those issues through the appropriate legal process.
