How to file a copyright takedown notice or counter-notice.

Overview

Tubidy respects the intellectual property rights of creators and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). If you believe a video on Tubidy infringes a copyright you own or are authorised to enforce, you may submit a takedown notice and we will review it.

How to file a takedown notice

Send a complete notice through the contact form with the subject line DMCA Takedown. A valid notice must include all of the following:

  1. The full URL of the allegedly infringing video on Tubidy.
  2. A clear description or reference to the copyrighted work that has been infringed.
  3. Your full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email.
  4. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  5. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act on the owner's behalf.
  6. Your physical or electronic signature.

Incomplete notices cannot be processed. We may ask you for additional information before removing content.

Our response

  • Complete notices are reviewed within two business days.
  • If the notice is valid, we remove or disable access to the disputed content and notify the uploader.
  • Repeat infringers have their accounts terminated in line with our Terms of Use.

Counter-notice

If your upload was removed and you believe the takedown was issued in error — for example, because you hold a licence, the use qualifies as fair use, or the claimant does not own the work — you may submit a counter-notice. A counter-notice must include:

  • Identification of the material that was removed and its previous URL.
  • A statement under penalty of perjury that you believe the material was removed by mistake or misidentification.
  • Your full legal name, address, telephone number, and email.
  • Consent to the jurisdiction of a federal court in your district (or equivalent where you reside).
  • Your signature.

Once we receive a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant. If they do not file suit within 10–14 business days, we may restore the removed material.

False claims

Submitting a knowingly false DMCA notice or counter-notice is a crime and may expose you to significant liability. Do not file a notice unless you are certain of your rights.
