To be effective under this
subsection, a notification of claimed infringement must be a written

includes substantially the following:
(i) A physical or electronic signature of a
person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is
allegedly infringed.
(ii) Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been
infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list
of such works at that site.
(iii) Identification of the material that is claimed to be
infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be
removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably
sufficient to permit the service provider to locate the material.
(iv) Information reasonably sufficient to permit
the service provider to contact the complaining party such as an address,
telephone number, and if available, an electronic mail address at which the
complaining party may be contacted.
(v) A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that

complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive
right that is allegedly infringed.
