I found a work by my favorite author on Scribd, which Im convinced is a copyright violation. Can I demand that you remove it on behalf of the copyright holder?
Scribd can only remove content at the request of the legal copyright holder. We are committed to protecting the intellectual property rights of content providers, and we immediately respond to legitimate take-down requests from content owners. However, Scribd takes great care to ensure our commitment doesn’t lead to the censorship of legitimate content because of impostor take-down notices. For this and other legal reasons, we cannot accept “Good Samaritan” takedown notices for content that you do not hold copyrights to. If you’re sure that a copyrighted work has been unlawfully posted on Scribd, please notify the publisher or author’s agent, and they will waste no time in relaying the message to us.
