Check if the case can be resolved with the user himself or not. This can be done by simply messaging the user. The affected party can ask the user to remove the copyrighted content from their Twitter account.<\/li><li><strong><em>The Complainant Should Know About 17 U.S Code Section 512<\/em><\/strong>: If the case is not solved by approaching the user directly, the complainant will have to move forward to the second step. The second step is the filing of a formal complaint with Twitter. However, before filing, the complainant needs to inform himself regarding 17 U.S. Code Section 512. During this, the complainant disobediently misrepresents the violation of copyrighted work; they shall be accountable to pay damages. The damages shall comprise the fees and costs of attorney allowed by Twitter or its use. This occurs when the complainant deliberately misrepresents that the material posted on Twitter is violating their Copyright.<\/li><li><strong><em>Consult an Attorney<\/em><\/strong>: The complainant is unsure whether the material he or she is reporting is being violated, then the complainant should preferably contact an attorney.
