DMCA and Copyright Policy

Copyright policy

Mameada respects copyright and requires users to upload only material they own or are authorized to use. We review sufficiently complete notices, preserve a documented case history and may disable content while rights are assessed.

For services within 17 U.S.C. §512, a valid designation with the U.S. Copyright Office and accurate public agent details are operational prerequisites for relying on the applicable safe-harbor process. This page alone does not create safe-harbor eligibility.

Copyright removal notice

Send a written notice to the configured DMCA agent. A notice should contain the following information and must be made in good faith:

• A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act for the owner.
• Identification of the copyrighted work, or a representative list when one notice covers multiple works at one site.
• Identification and precise location of the material to be removed or disabled, including each Mameada URL and enough information to locate it.
• The complaining party’s name, postal address, telephone number and email address.
• A statement of good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the owner, its agent or the law.
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and the sender is authorized to act for the owner.

Our response

• Validate that the notice identifies the work, content, complainant and required statements.
• Remove or disable access expeditiously when the notice is valid and the circumstances warrant action.
• Notify the uploader and preserve notice, evidence and decision records.
• Accept a legally sufficient counter-notice and forward it to the complainant where the law permits.
• Restore material after the statutory waiting period when appropriate, unless the complainant notifies us of filed court action.
• Apply a repeat-infringer policy in appropriate circumstances while considering mistakes, counter-notices and abuse of process.

Counter-notice

An uploader who believes material was removed because of mistake or misidentification may send the configured agent a signed counter-notice containing:

• Identification of the removed material and its location before removal.
• A statement under penalty of perjury that removal resulted from mistake or misidentification.
• The uploader’s name, address and telephone number.
• Consent to the jurisdiction required by 17 U.S.C. §512(g), and acceptance of service from the original complainant or that person’s agent.
• A physical or electronic signature.

European Union and Ghana notices

A rights notice may also be processed under applicable Ghanaian copyright law and, for EU recipients, the Digital Services Act notice-and-action framework. Senders should clearly identify the legal right, jurisdiction, exact content location, requested action, contact details and a good-faith explanation.

Mameada may request missing information, provide a statement of reasons, preserve an appeal route and report manifestly abusive notices where required. The U.S. counter-notice procedure does not replace mandatory remedies available in another jurisdiction.

Misrepresentation and contact

Knowingly making material misrepresentations in a notice or counter-notice may create liability. Mameada may reject incomplete, fraudulent, automated or abusive submissions and may restrict accounts that repeatedly misuse the process.

The production deployment must publish the actual designated agent’s name, service address, email and any required telephone number here, and the operator must keep its U.S. Copyright Office designation current where §512 is relied upon.
