work; (ii) identification of and a brief description of the copyrighted work claimed to

infringing. This will require, at a minimum, a precise URL for the material the User
alleges should be removed or to which access should be disabled; (iv) an address,
telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which you, as the
complaining party, may be contacted; (v) a statement that you, as the complaining
party, have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of
