  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or a representative list if multiple works are involved).
  3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity, including information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (e.g., URLs).
  4. Your contact information, including address, telephone number, and email address.
  5. A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
