DMCA / Copyright Policy
Effective date: August 6, 2026
BroadcastPilot respects copyright and expects the stations on our platform to do the same. This policy describes how to report infringing content under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and how we handle those reports.
1. Reporting infringement (takedown notice)
If you believe content hosted or broadcast through BroadcastPilot infringes your copyright, send a written notice to support@broadcastpilot.com with the subject "DMCA Notice" including:
- Identification of the copyrighted work you claim is infringed.
- Identification of the infringing material and where it appears (station name, URL, and approximate broadcast time if applicable).
- Your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf.
- Your physical or electronic signature.
2. What we do with a valid notice
We remove or disable access to the identified material promptly, notify the station that posted it, and record the complaint. The station may restore nothing unless a valid counter-notice process concludes in its favor.
3. Counter-notice
If your content was removed and you believe it was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the same address including: identification of the removed material and its prior location; a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the removal was a mistake; your name, address, and phone number; consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, if outside the United States, any judicial district where BroadcastPilot may be found); and your signature.
If we receive a valid counter-notice, we forward it to the original complainant. Unless they notify us within 10-14 business days that they have filed a court action, we may restore the material.
4. Repeat infringers
We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of stations that repeatedly infringe copyright. Recorded infringement complaints count toward this policy even if the material was removed voluntarily.
5. Misrepresentation
Knowingly filing a false infringement notice or counter-notice can make you liable for damages under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). Please be sure before you file.
