DMCA Policy

Effective Date: July 12, 2026

The Stream Facility respects intellectual property rights and is committed to responding promptly to valid copyright infringement claims. This policy governs our notice-and-takedown process under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512, and describes our good-faith process for rights holders outside the United States.

Designated DMCA Agent

To submit a copyright infringement notice, contact our designated DMCA agent:

Stream Facility
Attn: Richard Bigue
Email: StreamFacilityMod@gmail.com
Mailing address: 23 Oscars Lane Hinesburg, Vt 05461

> Note: The mailing address above is required for our DMCA agent registration with the US Copyright Office (https://www.copyright.gov/dmca-directory). Safe harbor protection under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c) requires a registered agent with a physical address. This placeholder must be replaced before the Platform launches to the public.

How to Submit a Takedown Notice

To be valid under the DMCA, your notice must include all of the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or an authorized agent
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or a representative list if multiple works are covered by a single notice)
3. Identification of the material claimed to be infringing, with sufficient information for us to locate it on the Platform (e.g., the URL or title of the work)
4. Your contact information: name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address
5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
6. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner

Incomplete notices will not be processed. We will acknowledge valid notices and take appropriate action within 5 business days.

Counter-Notice

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

1. Your physical or electronic signature
2. Identification of the material that was removed and its former location on the Platform
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification
4. Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address
5. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the district where your address is located (or, if outside the United States, any judicial district in which we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original takedown notice

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant. If the complainant does not file a court action within 10–14 business days, we may restore the removed material at our discretion.

Repeat Infringer Policy

We maintain a policy to terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat copyright infringers, in accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i). A user whose content is the subject of three or more valid DMCA notices (not successfully counter-noticed) is generally considered a repeat infringer.

Non-US Rights Holders

The DMCA is a US law. Rights holders located outside the United States may also submit infringement notices to our DMCA Agent using the same process described above. We will review and respond to such notices in good faith and take down infringing content where we determine the claim is valid, even if the strict requirements of the DMCA do not technically apply.

Rights holders in the European Union may also have rights under Article 17 of Directive (EU) 2019/790 (Copyright in the Digital Single Market Directive) as implemented in their member state. Rights holders in the United Kingdom may have equivalent rights under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988.

Misrepresentation

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed by mistake, may be subject to civil liability including costs and attorneys' fees. We reserve the right to seek damages from parties who abuse this process.
