Copyright Policy

1. What we host and how we handle complaints

inbl.link lets creators publish pages and distribute audio files through download gates. That content is uploaded by users, not by us. We don't review it before it goes live and we can't verify who owns what.

We take copyright seriously and we act on valid notices. We also take deliberate misuse of this process seriously — a takedown notice is a legal statement made under penalty of perjury, not a way to settle a disagreement.

2. Sending a copyright notice

Your notice must include all six of the following, or we can't act on it:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or someone authorised to act for them. Typing your full name at the end of the email counts.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work you say has been infringed. If several works are covered by one notice, a representative list is fine.
3. Identification of the material you want removed, with enough detail for us to find it. The full URL is best — for example https://inbl.link/g/ab12c or https://inbl.link/username.
4. Your contact details: name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and — under penalty of perjury — that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act on their behalf.

Send it to [email protected] with "Copyright Notice" in the subject.

Designated agent

Our designated agent for receiving notices of claimed infringement under the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act is the Copyright Agent, Logiciels Inbloom, at [email protected]. Our agent's details are also on file with the United States Copyright Office.

3. What we do when we receive one

1. We check the notice contains everything in section 2. If not, we'll tell you what's missing.
2. For a complete notice, we disable access to the material. For a download gate, that means the gate stops delivering the file.
3. We tell the user what was removed, why, and give them a copy of the notice along with an explanation of how to counter-notify.
4. We record the action against that account for the purposes of section 5.

Where the complaint concerns a user in Canada, we may instead forward your notice to the account holder in line with Canada's notice-and-notice regime under the Copyright Act, which requires us to forward valid notices rather than remove content automatically.

4. Counter-notice

If your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake — for example you hold a licence, you own the work, the sample is cleared, or the use is fair dealing or fair use — you can send a counter-notice to the same address with "Counter-Notice" in the subject.

It must include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed and where it appeared before removal.
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, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the district where you live, or — if you're outside the United States — of any judicial district in which we may be found, and that you'll accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice.

We'll forward your counter-notice to the complainant. If they don't tell us within 10 to 14 business days that they've filed a court action, we may restore the material.

5. Repeat infringers

We terminate the accounts of repeat infringers. Our policy is:

• First valid notice — content disabled, account holder notified, one strike recorded.
• Second valid notice — content disabled, second strike, formal warning.
• Third valid notice — the account is terminated, its pages and files are removed, and the person may not open a new account.

A strike is withdrawn if the notice is retracted, or if a counter-notice resolves in the user's favour. Strikes expire after 12 months with no further valid notices.

We may terminate an account immediately, without waiting for three strikes, where the infringement is blatant or repeated within a single notice — for example an account whose entire purpose is redistributing someone else's catalogue.

6. Misuse of this process

Knowingly misrepresenting that material is infringing can make you liable for damages, including costs and legal fees, under section 512(f) of the DMCA. Don't use a takedown notice to remove a remix you dislike, to attack a competitor, or to resolve a credit dispute. We may refuse to act on notices from senders who repeatedly file bad-faith complaints.

7. Complaints that aren't about copyright

For impersonation, trademark issues, harassment, illegal content, or anything else, use the reporting route in our Acceptable Use Policy. Same address, with "Report" in the subject.
