Copyright
Last updated October 13, 2026
NoRepTV respects the work of musicians, filmmakers and other creators, and we expect everyone who posts here to do the same. This page explains how to report a video that uses your work without permission, what happens next, and what to do if your own video was removed by mistake. We follow the notice-and-takedown process of the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).
For creators: music and other people's content
Before you upload, you confirm that you own or have permission to use everything in your video, including any music. The safest choices are no music at all, or music licensed for videos, for example from Epidemic Sound, Artlist or the YouTube Audio Library. Watch out for gym speakers playing popular songs in the background: that music counts too.
Report a video
The quickest way: open the video, press Report under the player, and choose Copyright. The form asks for everything a valid notice needs. You don't need an account.
You can also send a written notice to our designated agent (details below). Include a link to each video you're reporting.
What a copyright notice must include
Under the DMCA (17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3)), a notice has to include:
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or of someone authorized to act for them. Typing your full name works.
- A description of the copyrighted work you believe was infringed, such as a song title and artist, or a link to your original video.
- The video on NoRepTV you're reporting, with enough detail for us to find it. Its link is best.
- Your contact details, so we can reach you, such as your postal address, phone number and, if you have one, email address.
- A statement that you believe in good faith that the use isn't authorized by the copyright owner, their agent, or the law.
- A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act for the owner.
Please only report your own work, or work you're authorized to act for. Knowingly misrepresenting that something infringes can make you liable for damages (17 U.S.C. §512(f)). If you're not sure whether a use is allowed, for example as fair use, consider getting advice first.
What happens next
- We review every notice. If yours is missing something, we'll contact you to ask for it.
- If a notice is valid, we take the video down. It disappears from NoRepTV for everyone except its creator and our team, and the creator is notified. We tell them which work the notice names, so they can check it, but we don't show the creator your name or contact details unless the law requires us to.
- We don't delete the video, so it can be restored if the creator sends a valid counter-notice.
Counter-notices: if your video was taken down
If you believe your video was removed by mistake, or because the material was misidentified, for example because you have a license for the music, you can send a counter-notice to our designated agent. Under 17 U.S.C. §512(g)(3) it must include:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Which video was removed: its title and the link where it appeared before it was taken down.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you believe in good faith the video was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material.
- Your name, postal address and phone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district where your address is (or, if your address is outside the United States, any judicial district in which NoRepTV may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice, or their agent.
When we receive a valid counter-notice, we forward it to the person who sent the original notice. We may then restore the video 10 to 14 business days after we received your counter-notice, unless they first tell us they've filed a court action to stop the infringement. Restoring a video also removes the strike it caused.
We send your whole counter-notice, including your name, address and phone number, to the person who sent the original notice, so they can contact you or take you to court. Knowingly false statements in a counter-notice can make you liable for damages (17 U.S.C. §512(f)). If you're not sure, consider getting advice first.
If you didn't have permission, a counter-notice isn't the right step: you can delete the video from Studio instead. Deleting it doesn't remove the strike, and a deleted video can't be restored later.
Repeat-infringer policy
Each video we take down after a valid copyright notice adds a strike to the account that posted it. A strike is removed if the video is restored. An account that reaches 3 active strikes is a repeat infringer, and we ban it from NoRepTV. We may also act sooner in serious cases.
