Copyright & DMCA Policy

Everything in our catalogue is licensed from, or produced with, studios that warrant they hold the rights to it. This is not a user-upload platform: we curate and distribute a closed catalogue, and we take direct responsibility for what is on it.

That means we do not hide behind a notice-and-takedown queue. If a credible complaint reaches us, we remove or restrict the title first and investigate afterwards.

We still maintain a designated agent for copyright notices under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512, and we honour the notice and counter-notice procedures below.

Send copyright notices to our designated agent:

• Designated Agent: [TODO: Designated Agent name]
• Organisation: Dramabyte Limited
• Address: [TODO: full physical address on file with the U.S. Copyright Office]
• Telephone: [TODO: telephone number]
• Email: dmca@aidramas.example
• U.S. Copyright Office registration: [TODO: USCO directory registration number]

Email is the fastest channel and is monitored on business days. Notices about anything other than copyright (likeness, trade marks, defamation, privacy) should go to the same address but should say clearly what the issue is — see Section 7.

To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your written notice must include all six of the following:

• 1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or a person authorised to act on their behalf.
• 2. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed — or, if multiple works at one site are covered by a single notice, a representative list of those works.
• 3. Identification of the material you claim is infringing and that you want removed or disabled, with enough detail for us to locate it — for us that means the series title and the URL of the series or episode page (for example https://…/watch/<slug>/<episode>), and where possible the timecodes of the segments at issue.
• 4. Your contact information: name, mailing address, telephone number and email address.
• 5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• 6. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and — under penalty of perjury — that you are the copyright owner or are authorised to act on the owner's behalf.

An incomplete notice may delay our response. If a notice is missing an element we will normally tell you which one.

• Acknowledgement: within 2 business days.
• Emergency takedown: where a complaint is credible on its face, we remove or geo-restrict the title across the entire service — including deleting or blocking it at our CDN — normally within 24 hours of receipt.
• Notification: we forward the notice (with your contact details, as § 512 requires) to the studio that supplied the title, and we require a rights-chain response from them.
• Users: episodes removed for a rights issue stop being sold. Section 11 of the Terms and the Refund Policy govern what happens to Gems already spent.
• Record: we log every notice, action and outcome for our repeat-infringer policy.

If you believe material was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the agent above. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3) it must include:

• 1. Your physical or electronic signature.
• 2. Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal.
• 3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
• 4. Your name, address and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if your address is outside the United States, any judicial district in which we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice or their agent.

We forward valid counter-notices to the original complainant. If they do not tell us within 10 to 14 business days that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the activity, we may restore the material — although, because we control our own catalogue, we may also decline to restore a title for independent editorial, contractual or risk reasons.

We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users and the agreements of studios that repeatedly infringe copyright.

• Studios: a first substantiated notice triggers a rights-chain audit of the studio's whole slate; a second results in suspension of new deliveries; a third terminates the licensing agreement and removes their catalogue. Costs and damages fall on the studio under its warranty and indemnity obligations.
• Users: an account used to copy, record, re-upload or redistribute our content — or to circumvent the paywall or playback tokens — is warned once and then terminated. Two or more substantiated infringement reports lead to permanent termination under Section 15 of the Terms. Remaining Gems are forfeited.

Every title on this service is generated with AI tools. Characters, voices and settings are synthetic and are not intended to reproduce any specific existing work, performance or person. Because of that, complaints about AI-generated titles usually fall into one of these categories, and it helps us if you say which one applies:

• Copyright — you believe a specific protected work (script, footage, artwork, music, subtitles, font) was reproduced. Use the notice procedure in Section 3.
• Likeness or voice — you believe a character's face or voice reproduces an identifiable real person, including under state right-of-publicity laws or the ELVIS Act. This is not a DMCA claim: email the same address with the title, timecodes, and evidence of identity, and we will review it as a priority.
• Trade marks or trade dress — a mark, logo or distinctive get-up appears in a title. Tell us the registration details if you have them.
• Music — supply the recording and composition details; we will trace the asset back to the studio's declared source and licence.

Our studio agreements require an IP warranty, an indemnity, and rights-chain records for source material, likeness releases, voice, music, fonts and human creative contribution. We may ask for those records on receipt of any complaint, and a studio's failure to produce them is itself grounds for removal.

We do not accept complaints that a title is "too similar in style" to another work. Style and genre are not protected by copyright; a specific reproduced element is.

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing — or that it was removed by mistake — may be liable for damages, including costs and legal fees. Please consider whether the use might be authorised or a fair use before you send a notice.
