I'm from Vancouver, BC, Canada. I hereby state, under penalty of perjury, that I am the owner of the copyright that is being infringed. On Mon, May 10, 2010 at 4:49 PM, Elizabeth Compton &lt;ecompton@mozilla.com&gt; wrote: Hi again Arun, Thank you for the additional information. Under U.S. copyright law, however, the DMCA notice must include certain elements. One of those is that the statement about you being the copyright owner must be made under penalty of perjury.
