Copyright
These articles provide information about copyrights, including how you can protect your own copyrighted works and avoid infringing the copyrights of others. We also provide information about how Facebook addresses reported copyright infringement. If you believe someone is using your copyrighted work without your permission, you can report it by filling out this form.
Laws in different countries may vary. For more information on copyright law, you can visit the website of the U.S. Copyright Office or the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). Facebook can’t provide you with legal advice, so you may want to speak with an attorney if you have more questions about copyright.
