DMCA Policy

User-Generated Content

Pianotify hosts user-generated content. Pianotify does not supply MIDI, PDF, or video files. Users must hold the necessary rights. Pianotify does not proactively verify rights.

Infringement Notification

If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and believe that any content on Pianotify infringes upon your copyrights, you may submit a notification pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) by providing our Copyright Agent with the following information in writing:

• A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site.
• Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (for example, precise URL).
• Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as a postal address, telephone number, and, if available, an email address.
• 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.
• A statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Where to Send

DMCA notices should be sent to our Copyright Agent: copyrightpianotify.com. Only DMCA notices should be sent to this contact. Other requests should go to contactpianotify.com.

Counter-Notice

If you believe that your content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have authorization from the copyright owner or the law to post and use the material, you may send a counter-notice to the Copyright Agent containing the following information:

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the content appeared before it was removed or disabled.
• A statement that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
• Your name, address, telephone number, and email address, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the United States federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or if your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which the service provider may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notification or an agent of such person.

Process After Counter-Notice

If a counter-notice is received, we may send a copy to the original complaining party to inform them that the removed content may be replaced or access restored in 10 to 14 business days unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order.

Send your counter-notice to the Copyright Agent address above, with the address of the removed page in the subject. We record the date we receive it, forward it to the complaining party, and tell you the restoration date; unless we are told of a court action meanwhile, the content is restored between the 10th and the 14th business day after receipt.

Repeat Infringers

Accounts with repeated or egregious infringements may be suspended or terminated. We may block re-registration.

Notices from the European Union

The DMCA is United States law. Pianotify is operated from France as a hosting provider within the meaning of the French LCEN and the European Digital Services Act, and this same form is our notice-and-action mechanism under Article 16 of that regulation. Anyone may use it: you do not have to be the rights holder, and no account is needed.

We confirm receipt of every notice in writing, without undue delay. A person reviews it, with no automated decision-making, and we tell you the outcome and the reasons for it. When content is removed, the person who published it receives a statement of reasons and can contest the decision; both of you keep the right to go to court, and to a certified out-of-court dispute settlement body under Article 21 of the Digital Services Act.
