MedicalRealities.com respects the intellectual property rights of others and is committed to complying with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512.

We take copyright infringement seriously. If you believe that any content on our website infringes your copyrighted work, please submit a formal DMCA takedown notice so we can review and act upon it promptly.

  1. Your contact information
    • Full legal name
    • Physical mailing address
    • Telephone number
    • Email address
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work A clear description of the original work you claim has been infringed (or, if multiple works, a representative list).
  3. Identification of the infringing material Direct URLs to the specific pages/posts/files on MedicalRealities.com that you claim are infringing (e.g., https://medicalrealities.com/post/abc123). General references like “all content by user X” are not sufficient.
