Note
Below are links to sample C&D letters and DMCA notices. These were compiled by last year’s Copyright class. I make no representations regarding whether these are good letters/notices or not. You must rely on your own best judgment regarding whether to use any of these. You are, of course, not limited to the documents noted below and are free to find better ones to use as samples. If you do use any examples (whether found here or elsewhere), you need to include them in your attribution form and include copies in your case file.
