What changed, in plain language

The only changes are to obfuscated email-address links in the copyright/DMCA contact sections. The visible contact info and all legal terms are unchanged.

This change appears to be cosmetic (formatting, typos, or contact details).

Changelog

  1. ± CHANGEDCopyright contact email link code changed

    The scrambled code behind the copyright agent's email link was regenerated. The mailing address, phone, and fax stayed the same, and the email itself is still hidden behind the site's spam-protection system.

  2. ± CHANGEDCounter-notice contact email link code changed

    Same kind of change in the section about disputing a takedown: only the scrambled email link code was refreshed. Nothing about how you file a counter-notice changed.
