DMCA Policy
Effective date: 31 October 2026
PS2 BIOS respects the rights of copyright owners and expects the people who use the site to do the same. This page explains how to tell us about suspected copyright infringement and what happens when you do. It follows the process set out in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. ยง 512.
What we host, and what we don't
PS2 BIOS publishes written guides about PS2 emulation. We don't host or distribute BIOS files, game ISOs, ROMs or other copyrighted software, and we don't knowingly link to sites that do. Our BIOS guides explain how to dump a BIOS from a console you own. They don't provide the file itself.
Even so, mistakes happen. A reader's comment might include a link we missed, an image might have been used without the right permission, or someone may have copied text that isn't theirs. If you think that's happened, we want to know.
How to send us a notice
If you're a copyright owner, or you're authorized to act for one, and you believe something on this site infringes your copyright, email a written notice to our designated contact at workn01003@gmail.com. To be valid under the DMCA, your notice needs to include:
A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or the person authorized to act on their behalf.
A description of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed. If several works are involved, a representative list is fine.
A description of the material you claim is infringing, and where it appears on our site. A direct link to the page is the best way to do this.
Your name, mailing address, telephone number and email address, so we can reach you.
A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use isn't authorized by the copyright owner, their agent or the law.
A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you're the copyright owner or authorized to act for them.
A notice that leaves out one of these items may not be something we can act on, so please include all of them. Sending us a link and a short explanation of what's wrong will often speed things up.
What we do when we receive a notice
When we get a complete notice, we'll review it promptly. If it looks valid, we'll remove or disable access to the material in question. We may also pass your notice, or the details in it, on to the person who posted the material, so they can respond.
If something isn't clear, we may email you for more details before we decide.
Counter-notices
If you posted material that we removed and you believe the removal was a mistake or that you're allowed to use it, you can send us a counter-notice at the same address. It needs to include:
Your physical or electronic signature.
A description of the material that was removed and where it appeared before it was taken down.
A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed because of a mistake or misidentification.
Your name, address and phone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for the district where you live (or, if you're outside the United States, any district where we can be found), and that you'll accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice.
When we get a valid counter-notice, we'll send a copy to the person who complained. Unless they tell us within 10 business days that they've started a court action against you, we may restore the material about 10 to 14 business days after receiving the counter-notice.
Please be accurate
Under section 512(f) of the DMCA, anyone who knowingly misrepresents that material is infringing, or that it was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. If you're unsure whether something you've found really infringes your copyright, you might want to speak to a lawyer before sending a notice.
Repeat infringers
Where appropriate, we'll end access for people who repeatedly post infringing material on the site, for example by leaving comments that link to infringing downloads.
Other types of complaints
This page is only for copyright complaints. For a question about a guide or to report an error, use the contact page. If you think content here violates a trademark or another right, email us and tell us what the issue is, and we'll look at it.
