      • Reporting Intellectual Property Violations : We respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect the same from all of our Members. No Member may post any material, information, communication, data, or anything else that infringes on the copyrights, trademarks, or patent rights of someone else. We expect that each Resource posted by a Member is that Member’s original work (or, if it contains any content created by someone other than the Member, that the Member has a valid license or other authorization to use that content). It's our policy to close the Accounts of Members who repeatedly or egregiously violate this policy. We comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and other laws governing the use of intellectual property. Our Copyright & Trademark Policy explains our policy and process for receiving notification and removing potentially infringing material from our services. That policy is incorporated as part of these Terms.
