Copyright policy

We respect copyright and act on valid complaints. This page explains how to raise one and what we can realistically do.

Last updated 27 August 2026

What this service does and does not hold

This is important context for any complaint: we do not host a media library. Files exist only for the minutes it takes to process a request, and are then deleted automatically. By the time most complaints reach us, the file in question no longer exists on our systems.

What we can do is prevent a particular link from being processed again, block a domain, and disable support for a source entirely.

Submitting a complaint

Use the report form and select the copyright category. To act, we need:

  • Your name and contact email address
  • Identification of the copyrighted work concerned
  • The specific URL that was processed, not a general description
  • A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorised by the rights holder, its agent, or the law
  • A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are the rights holder or authorised to act for them
  • Your electronic or physical signature

Complaints missing the specific URL usually cannot be acted on, because there is nothing precise enough to block.

What happens next

We aim to acknowledge complaints within a few business days. Where a complaint is valid, we block the identified link so it can no longer be processed, and where a pattern emerges we may block the domain or disable the source adapter entirely.

Every complaint and its outcome is recorded internally so repeat issues can be identified.

Counter-notice

If you believe a block was applied in error, use the report form with your contact details, the link concerned, and an explanation of why the material was removed by mistake or misidentified.

Repeat infringers

Because there are no accounts, we cannot terminate users in the usual sense. Instead we act on the signals we have: links and domains that generate repeated valid complaints are blocked, and sources that consistently produce infringing requests are disabled for everyone.

Misuse of this process

Submitting a knowingly false complaint may carry legal consequences. If you are unsure whether a use is infringing, seek legal advice before filing.
