Copyright & DMCA notices.

How to tell us about material you believe infringes your rights, and what happens next. Last updated October 1, 2026.

We take copyright seriously, both ours and other people’s. This page is the formal route for reporting a problem; a complete notice gets a response, not a form reply.

Who publishes this site

destination.com is published by PMA Studios LLC, a Florida limited liability company. We license the photography and other third-party material we use, and every contributor signs an agreement warranting that what they submit is their own work or properly licensed. Mistakes still happen, and this page explains how to tell us about one.

Reporting a copyright infringement

If you believe material on this site infringes a copyright you own or control, send a notice to our designated agent at copyright@destination.com. Put "DMCA notice" in the subject line.

For us to act on it, a notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) must include: (1) a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorised to act for them; (2) identification of the copyrighted work you say has been infringed; (3) the URL of each page on destination.com where the material appears, precise enough for us to find it; (4) your name, postal address, telephone number and email address; (5) a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, their agent or the law; and (6) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorised to act for the owner.

We review complete notices promptly and will remove or disable access to the material identified while we assess the claim. We will tell the contributor who supplied the material what was reported. Incomplete notices are returned with a note on what is missing.

III.

Counter-notices

A contributor whose material was removed may send a counter-notice to copyright@destination.com containing: their signature; identification of the material and where it appeared before removal; a statement under penalty of perjury that they have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification; and their name, address and telephone number, with consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for their district (or, outside the United States, any judicial district in which we may be found) and agreement to accept service from the person who filed the original notice.

On receipt of a valid counter-notice we forward it to the original complainant. Unless they tell us within ten business days that they have filed a court action, we may restore the material.

IV.

Repeat infringers and misuse

We end our relationship with contributors who repeatedly supply infringing material. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly misrepresents that material is infringing, or was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages including our costs and attorney's fees.
