DMCA Notice & Takedown Policy

Effective June 1, 2025

MusicWire (“we,” “us,” “our”) respects the intellectual‑property rights of creators and expects the same from users of our services. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), 17 U.S.C. § 512, we have adopted the following policy for the prompt removal of copyrighted material that appears on MusicWire.com or any related domain without authorization.

1. Designated Copyright Agent

Name: DMCA Agent – FiltrMedia, Inc.
Email: [email protected]

The Copyright Agent is the point of contact for copyright‑infringement claims relating to any content hosted or distributed by MusicWire.

2. Filing a DMCA Takedown Notice

If you believe that your copyrighted work has been posted on MusicWire without permission, send a written notice to the Copyright Agent containing all of the following:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed (e.g., a URL where the original work is located or an attachment of the original work).
  3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, including the specific URL on MusicWire where it appears.
  4. A statement that you have a good‑faith belief the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  5. 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 the owner’s behalf.
  6. Your name, physical address, telephone number, and email address.

Notices that lack any of the above information may be deemed incomplete and may not receive a response.

3. MusicWire’s Response

Upon receipt of a valid DMCA notice:

  1. We will promptly remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material.
  2. We will notify the uploader or account holder that the content has been removed or disabled.
  3. We will provide the copyright owner’s notice to the uploader so they may file a counter‑notification if they believe the removal is in error.

4. Counter‑Notification

If you believe your material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter‑notification to the Copyright Agent that includes:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, along with the URL at which the material appeared before removal.
  3. 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.
  4. Your name, physical address, telephone number, and email address.
  5. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or New York County, NY, if you reside outside the United States) and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notice or their agent.

Upon receiving a valid counter‑notification, MusicWire may, in its discretion, restore the material within 10–14 business days unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order to restrain the user from engaging in infringing activity.

5. Repeat‑Infringer Policy

MusicWire terminates, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers. We reserve the right to define what constitutes a “repeat infringer” in our sole discretion, taking into account the frequency and severity of violations.

6. Misrepresentation

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly makes a material misrepresentation in a DMCA notice or counter‑notice may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees. Submit notices only if you own the copyright or are legally authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.
