Copyright Policy

OjosTV respects the intellectual property of others and expects its users to do the same. This policy forms part of our Terms of Use and sets out how we handle claims of copyright infringement.

If you are a rightsholder and your work appears here without permission, you can file a takedown notice.

What you may upload

Every user is responsible for holding the rights to what they upload. That covers not only the video or image itself, but any third-party work inside it.

Music is where this goes wrong most often. Every song carries two separate copyrights — the composition and lyrics on one side, the specific recording on the other — and they are frequently owned by different parties. A licence to one is not a licence to the other. A short clip, a credit to the artist, or the fact that the song streams free somewhere else: none of these is a licence.

The same reasoning applies to film and television clips, to images found through image search, and to content originally posted on another platform. Something you were allowed to post elsewhere is not automatically allowed here — different platforms hold different licences.

What happens when someone complains

When we receive a valid notice of copyright infringement, we remove the content promptly, and no later than 48 business hours. The user who uploaded it is told about the removal, who complained, and that they may file a counter-notice.

We do not decide who owns what. Our job is to give rightsholders a way to complain and users a way to dispute, and to act on the outcome. A genuine dispute over ownership is settled in court, not by us.

Repeat infringers

A user whose content is removed three times following valid takedown notices loses access to the platform. An account closed on these grounds is not reopened, and creating a replacement account is not permitted either.

The count resets after 12 months without a further infringement. A removal reversed by a successful counter-notice is not counted at all.

If your content was removed

A removal is not the end of it. If you believe your content was taken down by mistake or misidentification — you hold a licence, the use is fair use, or you are the original creator — you may file a counter-notice. What one must contain is set out in full on the takedown notice page.

Outside the United States

The process described here is built on the US DMCA, but we act just as quickly on complaints brought under other laws — including the EU Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market. You do not need to frame your complaint as a DMCA notice. It needs to identify the work, where the infringement sits on our service, and you.

Questions

For questions about this policy, contact our support team. Takedown notices themselves must go through the dedicated form — a message to support does not start the removal process.
