How we handle copyright violations
Sometimes people upload material, that infringes copyright. Some of the uploaders are not aware of their violation, some are doing that on purpose.
Here is how we handle that:
- If we see that there is a violation, we delete the user - but only if we are 100% sure that the merchant is doing that on purpose and that the violation is also crystal clear
- If we get a report of a copyright violation by surfers, we look into the file and try to contact the merchant if he (or she) has reseller rights
- If we get DMCA complaints, we remove that file within 24hrs
Sometimes files slip through and we are thankful for reports. Also files with virus warnings lead to a complete delete of an account.
