Upon receipt of a valid Counter-Notice, we will forward a copy to the original complaining party. If the copyright owner does not file a court action seeking a restraining order within 10 to 14 business days, we may restore the disabled material.

7. Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), Koora Live Free enforces a strict repeat infringer policy. We will terminate access privileges or disable accounts of any user, contributor, or content provider who is repeatedly identified as submitting unauthorized or infringing links.
