DMCA & Copyright Policy

Talented DJs respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users and submitters to do the same. This policy describes how we handle copyright infringement claims under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and equivalent international frameworks.

1. Our Commitment

All music made available through the Talented DJs music pool is either licensed directly from rights holders, submitted voluntarily by artists and labels, or verified to be appropriately cleared. We maintain a strict review process before any track is added to the pool. We take copyright infringement seriously and will respond promptly to valid claims.

2. Reporting Infringement — DMCA Takedown Notice

If you believe that content on our platform infringes your copyright, please send a written notice to our designated agent containing all of the following:

• Your full legal name and contact information (address, phone, email).
• Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed.
• Identification of the specific material on our platform that you claim is infringing, with enough detail for us to locate it.
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf.
• Your physical or electronic signature.

3. Our Response

Upon receiving a valid takedown notice, we will:

• Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content promptly.
• Notify the user or submitter who provided the content.
• Document the action taken in accordance with our internal records.

We aim to respond to all valid DMCA notices within 3 business days.

4. Counter-Notice

If you believe your content was removed in error, you may submit a counter-notice. Your counter-notice must include:

• Your name, address, phone number, and email.
• Identification of the content that was removed and its location before removal.
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the content was removed by mistake or misidentification.
• Your physical or electronic signature.
• A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the applicable federal court.

Send counter-notices to copyright.talenteddjs@gmail.com with the subject line DMCA Counter-Notice. If we receive a valid counter-notice, we may restore the content after 10–14 business days unless the original claimant pursues legal action.

5. Repeat Infringers

Talented DJs maintains a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users or submitters who are repeat infringers. We will terminate access for anyone who repeatedly submits content that infringes third-party copyright.

6. Submitter Responsibility

By submitting music to Talented DJs, you represent and warrant that you own or control all rights necessary for that submission. Any submission found to infringe on third-party rights will be removed immediately, and the submitter may be permanently barred from future submissions.

7. Misuse of DMCA Process

Filing a DMCA notice with false or misleading information is a serious matter. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages, including attorney fees.
