Everything on hildamusic.com that I wrote myself is mine, and I would rather you did not lift it wholesale. The archive material is a different matter entirely, and one I treat with care. Since I inherited the Hilda Garman tapes and the rights that came with them, I have spent years trying to work out who owns what from the Hildadisco years; some of it is clear, some is not. If you believe your work appears on this site without permission, I want to hear from you.
How to report a specific page
Please point me at the exact URL rather than the site as a whole; a general complaint about the archive is very hard to act on, whereas a single page I can examine in an evening. Use the contact page to reach me; that is the reliable route, and I read everything sent through it. Mention the URL plainly in your message so I cannot miss it.
What the notice needs to contain
A useful notice identifies the copyrighted work you say is infringed, with enough detail that I can match it to what I have published. It should give the precise URL on this site where the disputed material sits. It should state that you own the rights or are authorised to act for the owner, and that you have a good faith belief the use is not permitted. Include your name and a way to reply to you. If any of that is missing I will come back to you rather than quietly ignore it, because a half-notice helps nobody.
What I will do
When a notice is valid and specific, I act on it quickly. The disputed page comes down or the disputed element is removed while I look into the claim properly; I am not going to leave something up for weeks while I deliberate. If it turns out the material is mine or properly licensed, I will explain that to you directly, calmly, and with the paperwork to hand. The archive deserves better than a shouting match, and so do the people whose work it holds.
