copyright and intellectual property

a recording may contain separate rights in the sound recording, performance, music, spoken or read text and cover art. submitters must have the rights and permissions needed for each part. the service does not obtain ownership merely because work is submitted.

use the copyright report form. include enough to act:

• your name and reliable contact information;
• the protected work and why you are entitled to act for it;
• the exact recording or page complained about;
• the part that is allegedly infringing and the remedy requested;
• a good-faith statement that the disputed use is not authorised by the rights holder or law;
• a statement that the information is accurate and that you are the rights holder or authorised to act.

do not send a copied american dmca form unless it also supplies the information relevant to this service and indian law. knowingly abusive notices may violate these terms or law.

a complete notice receives a case reference and is reviewed for identity, authority, location and legal basis. the operator may restrict access while reviewing where law or risk requires it. a raw allegation is not automatically a verdict. the submitter or another affected rights holder may provide a response, proof of permission, licence, ownership, exception or mistaken identification through the same case channel. content may remain restricted, be removed or be restored after review. repeated or egregious infringement can lead to rejection of related submissions and other proportionate abuse controls.

trademark misuse and impersonation can be reported through report. a first-name recipient page is not itself a verified identity claim. the operator does not promise that every disputed use of a name is legally actionable; it will assess the facts, safety rules and applicable law.
