How does Scribd handle copyright infringement?

At Scribd, we take copyright infringement very seriously. Copyright infringement is illegal and not permitted on Scribd under any circumstances. When we receive a valid claim of copyright infringement, we expeditiously remove infringing material and terminate repeat infringers pursuant to a "three-strikes" policy.

Scribd, Inc. has also developed BookID, an automated copyright protection system that helps to safeguard intellectual property. BookID scans every document uploaded to Scribd and removes those with the same, or a substantially similar, fingerprint. BookID intermittently scans the entire Scribd library to remove matching content uploaded before fingerprinting.

How can I report copyright infringement to Scribd?

Content on Scribd.com and in the Scribd app is directly uploaded by Scribd users without pre-approval by Scribd. Scribd complies with all applicable provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) of 1998. Since Scribd is based in the United States, a notification that complies with DMCA criteria is the minimum that Scribd can accept as proof-of-copyright, even if your country operates under different laws. Scribd cannot process notifications that disregard DMCA criteria and provide incomplete information.

To report an infringement of your copyright on Scribd, use the DMCA form.
