- Specific Identification of Infringing Material: Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit milioudis.net to locate the material (e.g., the exact URL of the page).
