Fanz Unlimited L.L.C. - Content Star Policies and Procedures
1. Complaint and Takedown Procedures
1. Filing a Takedown Request:
If a copyright owner believes their precious masterpiece has been shamelessly plastered on our platform without permission, they may submit a takedown request. Please, no rage emails written in all caps. The request must include the following:
- Identification of the copyrighted work: What’s been stolen? Your magnum opus? Your cat memes? Be specific.
- Identification of the infringing material: Point us to the crime scene (aka, the URL).
- Contact Information: We need to know where to send our apologies—or, you know, updates.
- A statement of good faith: Swear you’re not making this up.
- Signature: A proper one, not "XOXO, Gossip Girl."
2. Action Upon Receiving a Takedown Notice:
When we get a valid DMCA takedown notice, we will:
- Remove or disable the offending content faster than a teenager deleting their browser history.
- Notify the uploader that their masterpiece has been nuked and inform them of their right to complain (counter-notify) if they think we messed up.
3. Submitting a Counter-Notification:
If you think your content was wrongly taken down, you can fight back! Just include:
- Identification of the removed content: What got zapped?
- Statement under penalty of perjury: "I swear on my snack stash, I didn’t steal this."
- Consent to jurisdiction: Agree to duke it out in court if necessary.
- Contact Information: So we know where to send the "we believe you" email.
If everything checks out, we’ll restore your content in 10-14 business days—unless the original copyright owner calls their lawyer and sues.
4. Repeat Infringers:
Look, if you keep stepping on copyright toes, we’ll have to show you the door. Three strikes and you’re out. No, you don’t get a participation trophy.
5. Good Faith and Abuse Prevention:
False claims will be met with swift justice, possibly involving memes and legal action.
