Digital Millennium Copyright Act
Notification of claimed infringement
What Castkeep does
Castkeep records publicly viewable live broadcasts on behalf of the person who asked for them, into an archive only that person can open. Nothing is listed publicly, there are no shareable pages, and no archive is browsable by anyone other than its owner.
Everyone using it agrees that they own the channel they are archiving or have the creator's permission. We cannot verify that at the moment somebody adds a channel, which is why this page exists.
Sending a notice
A notice of claimed infringement has to contain six things. They are set by statute, at 17 U.S.C. 512(c)(3), and a notice missing any of them may not be one we can act on.
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the copyrighted work you say has been infringed. If several works are covered by one notice, a representative list of them.
- Identification of the material you are asking us to remove or disable, with enough detail for us to find it.
- How we can reach you: an address, a telephone number, and an email address if you have one.
- A statement that you believe in good faith that the use complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement that the information in your notice is accurate, and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf.
Section 512(f) makes a person who knowingly misrepresents that material is infringing liable for damages, including costs and legal fees. Please be sure before you send.
Notice of claimed infringement
If your material was removed
If we disable something of yours and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you can send a counter notice. It needs your signature, identification of what was removed and where it was, a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith it was removed by mistake, your name, address and telephone number, and your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for the district you live in, or if you are outside the United States, any district where we may be found.
After a valid counter notice we may restore the material in ten to fourteen business days, unless the person who sent the original notice tells us they have filed a court action to stop you.
Repeat infringers
Accounts that are the subject of repeated valid notices are terminated. That is a condition of operating a service like this one, not a discretionary policy, and it applies whatever plan the account is on.
