DMCA Copyright Notice
Protecting intellectual property rights and responding to copyright infringement claims
Copyright Protection Policy
Vancouver IPTV respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects our users to do the same. We comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and respond promptly to valid notices of claimed copyright infringement.
Vancouver IPTV does not host, store, upload, or stream any copyrighted content on our servers. We provide access to content supplied by third-party providers. All streams and media are delivered by external sources over which we exercise no editorial control.
Because we do not host the content in question, the fastest resolution is usually to contact the third-party provider or hosting service directly. We will, however, act on any valid notice we receive and remove or disable access to the material identified.
How to File a DMCA Complaint
To file a notice of claimed copyright infringement, your written communication must include all of the following:
Identify the Copyrighted Work
- A description of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed.
- If multiple works are covered by a single notice, a representative list of those works.
- Registration details, where applicable.
Identify the Infringing Material
- A description of the material you claim is infringing and want removed or disabled.
- Information reasonably sufficient to let us locate the material, such as the exact URL or channel name.
Provide Your Contact Information
- Your full legal name.
- Your mailing address, telephone number and email address.
- The name of the copyright owner you represent, if you are acting as an agent.
Include Required Statements
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorised to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
- Your physical or electronic signature.
DMCA Review Process
Acknowledgement
We confirm receipt of your notice and verify that it contains every element the DMCA requires. Incomplete notices are returned with an explanation of what is missing.
Investigation
Our team reviews the claim, locates the material identified, and determines whether the content sits with us or with a third-party provider.
Action & Response
Where the claim is valid, we remove or disable access to the material and notify you of the outcome. Where the content belongs to a third party, we forward the notice and tell you who to contact.
False Claims Warning
Filing a false or bad-faith DMCA notice carries legal consequences. Under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees.
Do not submit a notice unless you are the copyright owner or are authorised to act on the owner’s behalf. Submitting a knowingly false claim may expose you to liability and will result in the notice being rejected.
Counter-Notification
If you believe material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification. Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, we may restore the material unless the original complainant notifies us that they have filed a court action.
Your counter-notification must include:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material that was removed and the location at which it appeared before removal.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
- Your full name, mailing address, telephone number and email address.
- A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate court and will accept service of process from the complainant.
