(d) a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; This statement is an important declaration that supports your claim and aligns with the DMCA requirements.

(f) a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright or intellectual property owner or authorized to act on the copyright or intellectual property owner’s behalf.
