Copyright and DMCA Policy
Last updated: [DATE]
Draft, not yet reviewed by counsel. The content below describes how Mobytape actually works, but it has not been checked by a qualified lawyer for your jurisdiction. Have it reviewed, replace every bracketed placeholder, then delete this notice before running ads or accepting payment.
This page does not by itself create safe harbour. Publishing an agent here is only half of it. The same agent has to be registered with the United States Copyright Office in the DMCA Designated Agent Directory, and that registration has to be renewed every three years. Until that filing is made, the 17 U.S.C. 512(c) safe harbour is not available no matter what this page says. See the checklist at the end.
Designated agent
Mobytape has designated the agent below to receive notifications of claimed copyright infringement. Notices sent anywhere else, including to support or over social media, may not be treated as received.
[DMCA AGENT NAME OR TITLE]
[LEGAL ENTITY NAME]
[REGISTERED ADDRESS]
Email: [DMCA EMAIL]
Telephone: [DMCA PHONE]
This agent is registered with the United States Copyright Office. The directory record is at dmca.copyright.gov.
What Mobytape hosts
Mobytape reports on public market data from Polymarket and Kalshi, and on wallet activity those venues publish. Most of what you see here is factual market information rather than creative work. The parts a notice could reasonably concern are the things users supply: account display names, alert rule names, and any text a user submits. We act on notices about that material.
Sending a takedown notice
To be effective under 17 U.S.C. 512(c)(3), your notice must include all of the following:
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or a person authorised to act for them.
- Identification of the copyrighted work you say has been infringed.
- Identification of the material you want removed, specific enough for us to find it. A direct URL is best.
- Your address, telephone number, and email address.
- A statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised 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 owner or authorised to act for the owner.
Send it to the designated agent above. We aim to acknowledge within [3] business days and to act on a complete notice promptly.
Misrepresenting that material is infringing can make you liable for damages, including costs and legal fees, under 17 U.S.C. 512(f). If you are unsure whether a use is infringing, take advice before sending.
What happens next
If a notice is complete, we remove or disable access to the material and make a reasonable effort to tell the user who supplied it, passing on a copy of the notice. If a notice is incomplete, we will say what is missing.
Counter notice
If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you can send a counter notice to the same agent. It must include your signature, identification of the material and where it appeared, a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith it was removed by mistake, your name, address and telephone number, and your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address, or for [JUDICIAL DISTRICT] if you are outside the United States, and to accept service from the person who sent the original notice.
If we receive a valid counter notice, we forward it to the original complainant. Unless they tell us they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the activity, we may restore the material in 10 to 14 business days.
Repeat infringers
We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers. A record of notices received is kept against the account so that decision can be made consistently.
Registration checklist for the operator
Delete this section once it is done.
- Create an account at dmca.copyright.gov/osp and register the service provider name, including any alternate names the service trades under.
- File the designated agent with the same name, address, phone and email shown above, and pay the filing fee.
- Put the resulting directory record and its expiry date somewhere it will be seen. The registration lapses after three years unless renewed.
- Make sure the agent mailbox is monitored by a person, not an autoresponder.
