Our Commitment to Copyright Protection

At Opiro, we respect the intellectual property rights of artists and content creators. This DMCA Copyright Policy outlines our commitment to protecting copyrighted works and our process for handling copyright infringement claims.

We take copyright infringement seriously and will promptly respond to valid DMCA takedown notices in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512).

How to File a DMCA Takedown Notice

If you believe that content on Opiro infringes your copyright, you may submit a DMCA takedown notice to our designated agent. To be valid, your notice must include all of the following elements:

1Identification of the Copyrighted Work

Identify the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed. If multiple works are involved, provide a representative list. Include titles, registration numbers (if applicable), and any other identifying information.

2Identification of the Infringing Material

Provide the URL or specific location of the allegedly infringing content on Opiro. Include album names, track titles, artist names, or any other information that helps us locate the material.

3Your Contact Information

Include your full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address. This allows us to contact you regarding your claim and to forward your notice to the alleged infringer.

4Good Faith Statement

Include the following statement: "I have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted material described above is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law."

5Accuracy Statement Under Penalty of Perjury

Include the following statement: "I certify, under penalty of perjury, that the information in this notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner."

6Physical or Electronic Signature

Provide your physical or electronic signature. For electronic submissions via email, typing your full legal name constitutes a valid signature.

Warning: Filing a fraudulent or bad-faith DMCA notice may result in legal liability under Section 512(f) of the DMCA. Only file a notice if you are certain that your copyright has been infringed. Misrepresenting that material is infringing can result in damages, including costs and attorneys' fees.

Counter-Notification Process

If you believe that your content was removed in error or is not infringing, you may file a counter-notification. Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original complainant.

Timeline and Process

1

Content is Removed

Upon receiving a valid DMCA notice, we will remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content within 48 hours. The affected artist will be notified via email.

2

14-Day Window to Respond

Artists have 14 business days from the date of notification to file a counter-notification if they believe the content was removed in error or they have the right to use the material.

3

Counter-Notification is Forwarded

We will forward your counter-notification to the original complainant. They then have 10 business days to notify us that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain you from engaging in the allegedly infringing activity.

4

Content is Restored (if applicable)

If the complainant does not file a lawsuit within 10 business days, we will restore your content within 10-14 business days after receiving your counter-notification.

Required Elements for Counter-Notification

A valid counter-notification must include:

  • Your contact information: Full name, address, phone number, and email
  • Identification of the removed content: URL or description of the material
  • Good faith statement: "I have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification."
  • Consent to jurisdiction: "I consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which my address is located (or the Northern District of California if outside the U.S.), and I will accept service of process from the person who filed the original DMCA notice or their agent."
  • Statement under penalty of perjury: "I certify, under penalty of perjury, that the above information is accurate."
  • Physical or electronic signature: Your typed name or physical signature

Important: Filing a false counter-notification may result in legal liability. By submitting a counter-notification, you are consenting to the jurisdiction of a federal court and agreeing to be sued by the original complainant. Only file a counter-notification if you are certain that the material was removed in error or that you have the right to use it.

Repeat Infringer Policy

Opiro maintains a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers of copyright. We reserve the right to disable or terminate accounts that receive multiple valid DMCA takedown notices.

What Constitutes a Repeat Infringer?

  • Users who receive three or more valid DMCA takedown notices within a 12-month period
  • Users who repeatedly upload infringing content after previous warnings
  • Users who knowingly upload content they do not have rights to distribute

Consequences for Repeat Infringers

  • First infringement: Content removed, warning issued
  • Second infringement: Content removed, temporary account suspension (7 days)
  • Third infringement: Permanent account termination, loss of access to earnings

Artists whose accounts are terminated for repeat copyright infringement will forfeit any pending earnings held in their wallet during the 7-day holding period. Earned funds already available for withdrawal may be withdrawn before termination takes effect.
