Scribd blocked my file for copyright reasons—how can I restore it?

When Scribd blocks a file for copyright, it usually implies that their technology identified your upload as infringing material.

To restore it, first determine if you hold the rights or have permission to share them.

If you do, you can file a counter-notice via Scribd's Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) method, giving evidence of your ownership or authorization.

If you don't have the rights, Scribd will not recover the material, and re-uploading it may result in account suspension.

In that instance, your best choice is to contact the copyright owner and request written permission before re-uploading with proper documentation.
