Document background
A Copyright Sharing Infringement Notice is a crucial legal instrument used when unauthorized use of copyrighted material is detected. This document, governed by English and Welsh law, serves as the initial step in addressing copyright violations and protecting intellectual property rights. It should be used when there is clear evidence of unauthorized use of copyrighted works and includes detailed information about the copyright holder, the specific works being infringed, evidence of ownership, and the nature of the infringement. The notice typically precedes any formal legal action and provides the alleged infringer an opportunity to cease the unauthorized use before more serious legal measures are pursued.
