Copyright & DMCA Policy

Twice Daily Wire owns or licenses copyright in original text we write; the selection, coordination, and arrangement of each edition as a compilation; the masthead and website design; software and editorial systems; archives of the brief as compiled; and related graphics we create. All rights not expressly granted in the Terms of Use are reserved.

Permission to read the Service in a browser is not permission to republish editions, harvest the database, or use Wire Materials to train a machine-learning system.

Headlines, article text, photographs, graphics, video, audio, logos, and trademarks of the Associated Press, BBC News, CBS News, NBC News, ABC News, PBS NewsHour, The Guardian, CNBC, NASA, ScienceDaily, and France 24 and of any other publisher remain the property of those rights holders. We do not claim copyright in them. Display in the brief is for news indexing, identification, and lawful quotation or summary as described in the Source Attribution Policy.

Editorial staff and automated systems are instructed to use only as much third-party copyrighted expression as is reasonably necessary for legitimate news reporting, commentary, criticism, indexing, or other lawful purposes. We do not assert that every excerpt is automatically protected by fair use or fair dealing.

Photographs are loaded from URLs supplied by the publisher. Credits are shown when known. A rights holder who objects to display of a particular image may use the notice procedure below. We may disable the image, the item, or both.

If you believe material on the Service infringes your copyright, and if the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512, applies to the notice you wish to send, provide a written notice that substantially includes:

1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or a representative list if multiple works are covered by the notice;
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate it (a URL to the Twice Daily Wire story page is preferred);
4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you (address, telephone number, and email);
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
6. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Send the notice to dmca@wire-brief.com. Until a designated agent is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office, notices sent to that address are the operative method stated in this policy. Designated agent identity, when supplied, will be:

Agent: [Name of designated DMCA agent — to be inserted]
Address: [Postal address of designated DMCA agent — to be inserted]
Telephone: [Telephone number of designated DMCA agent — to be inserted]
Email: dmca@wire-brief.com

We do not invent a designated agent’s legal name or postal address. Misrepresentation in a notice may create liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

If material you supplied was removed, you may send a counter-notification that substantially includes: your signature; identification of the material and where it appeared; a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief it was removed by mistake or misidentification; your name, address, and telephone number; and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or if outside the United States, for any district in which we may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notice or that person’s agent. Send it to dmca@wire-brief.com.

We may terminate or refuse access to any person who is a repeat infringer, and we may remove or disable material upon a complete notice, a court order, or our own editorial judgment, without admitting liability. We may also remove material that we conclude is defamatory, unlawful, or inconsistent with the Editorial Standards, whether or not it is copyrighted.

Trademark complaints that are not copyright notices may be sent to notices@wire-brief.com. Display of a third-party mark as the name of a source is nominative identification of that source, not branding of our publication.
