RS DMCA Policy

This policy (“Policy”) pertains to the Rainysongs Entertainment, LLC website (“Website”) and all related services (“Services”). It outlines how Rainysongs Entertainment, LLC (“we”, “us”, or “our”) addresses copyright infringement notifications and how you (“you”) may submit a copyright infringement complaint.

We place great importance on the protection of intellectual property and expect our users and their authorized agents to do the same. It is our policy to promptly respond to clear notifications of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) of 1998, the full text of which can be found at the U.S. Copyright Office website.

Considerations Before Submitting a Copyright Complaint

Before submitting a copyright complaint to us, consider whether the use could fall under fair use. Fair use allows brief excerpts of copyrighted material to be quoted verbatim for purposes such as criticism, news reporting, teaching, and research, without requiring permission from or payment to the copyright holder. If you have considered fair use and still wish to proceed with a copyright complaint, we recommend first reaching out to the user in question to see if the matter can be resolved directly.

Please be aware that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), you may be liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by us or our users, if you knowingly misrepresent that the material or activity is infringing. If you are unsure whether the material you are reporting is indeed infringing, you may wish to consult an attorney before filing a notification with us.

We may, at our discretion or as required by law, share a copy of your notification or counter-notification with third parties. This may include sharing the information with the account holder involved in the allegedly infringing activity or for publication. If you are concerned about your information being forwarded, you may wish to hire an agent to report infringing material on your behalf.

Infringement Notifications

If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof, and you believe that any material available on our Services infringes upon your copyrights, then you may submit a written copyright infringement notification (“Notification”) pursuant to the DMCA by providing us with the following information:

  • Identification of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed. If multiple copyrighted works are covered by this Notification, you may provide a representative list of the copyrighted works that you claim have been infringed.
  • Identification of the infringing material and information you claim is infringing (or the subject of infringing activity), including at a minimum, if applicable, the URL or URLs of the web pages where the allegedly infringing material may be found.
  • Information reasonably sufficient to allow us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an e-mail 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, the copyright owner’s 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.
  • A physical or electronic signature (typing your full name will suffice) of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.

All Notifications must comply with the DMCA requirements.

Filing a DMCA complaint initiates a pre-defined legal process. We will review your complaint for accuracy, validity, and completeness. If your complaint meets these requirements, our response may include the removal or restriction of access to allegedly infringing material, as well as a permanent termination of repeat infringers’ accounts.

If we remove or restrict access to materials or terminate an account in response to a Notification of alleged infringement, we will make a good faith effort to contact the affected user with information concerning the removal or restriction of access. This may include a full copy of your Notification (including your name, address, phone, and email address), along with instructions for filing a counter-notification.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any portion of this Policy, Rainysongs Entertainment, LLC reserves the right to take no action upon receipt of a DMCA copyright infringement notification if it fails to comply with all the requirements of the DMCA for such notifications.

Counter-Notifications

A user who receives a copyright infringement Notification may make a counter-Notification pursuant to sections 512(g)(2) and (3) of the US Copyright Act. If you receive a copyright infringement Notification, it means that the material described in the Notification has been removed from our Services or access to the material has been restricted. Please take the time to read through the Notification, which includes information on the Notification we received, as well as instructions on how to file a counter-notification.

To file a counter-notification with us, you must provide a written communication that sets out the information specified in the list below:

  • Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been restricted and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was restricted.
  • Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an e-mail address.
  • A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or restricted as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or restricted.
  • A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which the address is located (or if you are outside of the United States, that you consent to the jurisdiction of any judicial district in which the service provider may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person or company who provided the original infringement notification.
  • A physical or electronic signature (typing your full name will suffice) of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.

Please note that you may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by us or our users, if you knowingly misrepresent that the material or activity is not infringing the copyrights of others, or that the material or activity was removed or restricted by mistake or misidentification. Accordingly, if you are unsure whether certain material infringes the copyrights of others, or that the material or activity was removed or restricted by mistake or misidentification, you may wish to contact an attorney before filing a counter-notification.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any portion of this Policy, Rainysongs Entertainment, LLC reserves the right to take no action upon receipt of a counter-notification. If we receive a counter-notification that complies with the terms of 17 U.S.C. § 512(g), we may forward it to the person who filed the original Notification.

The process described in this Policy does not limit our ability to pursue any other remedies we may have to address suspected infringement.

We reserve the right to modify this Policy or its terms relating to the Website and Services at any time. The modifications will become effective upon posting of an updated version of this Policy on the Website. When we do make changes, we will revise the updated date at the bottom of this page.
