Filed DMCA report against me - I believe its false

[The Odd Fox]

I recently noticed I got a DMCA report on one of my guides.
My Guide

Steam or Valve has not provided any information about what it is or why I have this. Absolutely nothing, I can't even respond to the claim.

However, I did some research and apparently it’s a copywrite claim and I guess currently its being reviewed? Slightly unclear there.

My first question is how do I respond or supply my argument on why this is false.
Unless Valve assumes guilty till proven innocent.

Second questions: Can I talk to anyone about this perhaps the person who created the claim?

*Sorry if I come off mean but this is serious and I have no idea why this was created. *

Anyone can file a DMCA takedown and you wont be informed of any action until the matter has been investiaged and resolved between the complaintant and Valve. It's impossible to say at this stage who or why this has been actioned but you'll probably hear from Valve in due course.

Valve/Steam has to act no matter what when someone files a DMCA so the filer has 15 days to prove the DMCA / Take you to the court otherwise it falls away.

now since you are showing artwork i presume a creator of one of those artworks prolly filed it or maybe someone did it out spite eitherway if nothin happens in 2 weeks then it should go away.

meantime probably contact steam support.

I tried to contact steam support, however all I found were knowledge bases.
Also would a content creator really file a complaint for me recommending their backgrounds, how does that make any sense? Its free publicity.

I tried this however, they're no DMCA sections or anything relating to copy write sections?

What does that guide have to do with cs go? You should delete it really.

This is in the steam forums section, not cs:go?

The guide is in the cs go section. It has nothing to do with cs go so I marked it incompatible.

Their backgrounds are in the CSGO guide section and if their material has automated scanning; the auto-filing system could generate a complaint thinking its own content has been stolen and re-published elsewhere. The community hub conditions are absolutely strict in regards to self-created and published material and if you step out of line an inch; you open yourself up to problems of this nature. Best to remove the guide.

Where does it say this is in the cs:go section?

Open up your guide, see the very top.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive > Guides > The Odd Fox's Guides

Steam guides can be made here:

The fact it was posted in the cs go section and your incompatible message says so. Check where you are posting a guide before posing a guide.

The guide is part of cs:go, but this entire thread has nothing related to csgo. Its about a DMCA report.

and eram said that about your guide, not about this post.

Sorry I thought you were talking about the thread, my apologies. Got really confused.
Now yes the guide is not part of the cs:go section nor has it have any correlations. But there is no general steam guide section. (Just realised there is one)

I can name ten guides off the top of my head which aren’t related to the game it's part of.

Also, how does a DMCA report have anything to relate with that?

The dmca is separate, you have to deal with that but just because you dont know how to post a steam guide doesn't make it ok for you to post it anywhere you like.

Consider deleting the guide while you still can,If you still can , or deal with the dmca claim and make sure you 100% own all the content in the guide, You dont own any of the images so already that's an issue.
