DMCA Copyright Policy

Last updated: [DATE]

[YourSite] respects the intellectual property rights of others and responds to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512. [YourSite] is a directory that links to and embeds streams provided by third parties. We do not host the video itself.

Filing a notice

If you believe material linked or displayed on [YourSite] infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our designated agent that includes:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. A description of the copyrighted work you claim is infringed.
  3. The exact URL(s) on [YourSite] where the material appears, so we can find it.
  4. Your name, address, telephone number and email address.
  5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
  6. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

What happens next

When we receive a valid notice, we will promptly remove or disable access to the material identified and may notify the third-party provider concerned. Because the video is hosted by that provider, you may also need to send your notice to them directly.

Counter-notice

If you believe material was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the agent above with your signature, identification of the removed material and its former location, a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe the removal was a mistake, your name, address and phone number, and your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your address (or, outside the United States, [JURISDICTION]).

Repeat infringers

In appropriate circumstances, we will disable access for users or sources who are repeat infringers.

Misrepresentations

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages. Please make sure your claim is valid before you send a notice.
