A Take Down Notice is a formal legal document used in Australia when copyright owners or their representatives identify unauthorized use of their protected material online. The document is governed by the Copyright Act 1968 and its amendments, particularly the Digital Agenda Act 2000, which adapted copyright law for the digital age. It is typically used when infringing content is discovered on websites, social media platforms, or other online services. The notice must include specific elements to be valid under Australian law: identification of the protected work, location of the infringing material, contact information of the complainant, and formal declarations regarding the validity of the claim. This document serves as the first formal step in addressing online copyright infringement before pursuing more extensive legal action.
