multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a

that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the
authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or pursuant to the law, to post
and use the content in your User Submission, you may send a counter-notice containing the following
information to the Copyright Agent:
- Your physical or electronic
signature;
- Identification of the content that has been removed or to which access has been

Copyright Agent, StarBooth may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party
informing that person that it may replace the removed content or cease disabling it in 10 business
days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider,
member or user, the removed content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 business
days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at StarBooth's sole discretion.
