DMCA Policy
Last updated: January 15, 2025
Overview
Drimystic Records complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) and similar notice-and-takedown laws worldwide. This policy explains how copyright holders can report infringing content and how users can respond to takedown notices.
For general copyright questions, see our Copyright Policy. This DMCA Policy specifically covers the formal takedown procedure.
Designated DMCA Agent
Our Designated DMCA Agent is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office. All DMCA notices must be sent to this agent:
- Name: DMCA Agent
- Company: Drimystic Records
- Address: 540 Music Row, Los Angeles, CA 90028, USA
- Email: dmca@drimystic.com
- Phone: +1 (555) 010-2025
Filing a Takedown Notice
To file a DMCA takedown notice, send a written communication to our Designated Agent (above) that includes the elements listed in "Notice Requirements" below. We will review and process valid notices within 1–2 business days.
Upon receiving a valid notice, we will:
- Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material.
- Notify the user who uploaded the material.
- Forward a copy of the notice (with your contact information) to the user.
- Keep a record of the takedown for our repeat infringer tracking.
Notice Requirements
Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), a valid DMCA notice must include the following elements:
- Identification of the copyrighted work: A description of the original work that you claim has been infringed (e.g., song title, ISRC, album, link to an authorized copy).
- Identification of the infringing material: The specific URL(s) on drimystic.com or in our distributed catalog where the infringing material is located. Be specific — we cannot process "all music by [artist]" requests.
- Contact information: Your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
- Good-faith statement: A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- Accuracy statement: 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.
- Signature: A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
Notices that do not include all required elements may be rejected. We recommend using the DMCA notice template available at the U.S. Copyright Office website.
Filing a Counter-Notice
If your content was removed due to a DMCA notice and you believe it was removed in error (e.g., you own the rights, the work is in the public domain, or the use is fair use), you may file a counter-notice with our Designated Agent. The counter-notice must include:
- Identification of the removed material and its location before removal.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
- Your full name, address, telephone number, and email address.
- A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or the Central District of California if your address is outside the U.S.).
- A statement that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original takedown notice.
- Your physical or electronic signature.
If we receive a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant and may restore the material in 10–14 business days — unless we receive notice that the complainant has filed a court action seeking to restrain the alleged infringement.
Repeat Infringers
In accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), we maintain a policy of terminating the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers. A repeat infringer is defined as a user who has had three (3) or more valid DMCA takedown notices upheld against their content within a 12-month period.
We also reserve the right to terminate accounts immediately, without prior notice, for clear cases of willful infringement — such as uploading entire copyrighted albums under a fake artist name.
Good Faith & Penalties
Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents in a DMCA notice or counter-notice that material or activity is infringing — or was removed by mistake — may be subject to liability for damages, including costs and attorney fees.
Do not file DMCA notices to silence criticism, remove content you do not own, or harass other users. We refer abusive or fraudulent notices to the appropriate authorities.
