Copyright Policy

Effective date: [publication date]

MYSHOWBIZ, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company ("MYSHOWBIZ," "we," "us," or "our"), respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects members to do the same. This Copyright Policy explains how to tell us about material on MYSHOWBIZ that you believe infringes your copyright, how a member can respond, and when we close the accounts of repeat infringers. It is part of our Terms of Service.

1. Reporting copyright infringement

If you believe material on MYSHOWBIZ infringes a copyright you own or are authorized to act for, send a written notice to our designated agent (Section 5). Under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, your notice must include:

  1. your physical or electronic signature;
  2. a description of the copyrighted work you believe was infringed, or, if several works are covered by one notice, a representative list of them;
  3. a description of the material you believe is infringing and enough information for us to find it on MYSHOWBIZ, such as a link or the member's profile name;
  4. your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address;
  5. a statement that you believe in good faith that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
  6. a statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act for the owner.

If your notice leaves out any of these items, we may contact you to ask for the missing information, and we may not act on the notice until it is complete. When we receive a complete notice, we promptly remove or disable access to the material and tell the member who posted it. We may send the member a copy of your notice, including your name and email address.

2. Counter-notices

If your material was removed and you believe that happened because of a mistake or because the material was misidentified, you can send a counter-notice to our designated agent. It must include:

  1. your physical or electronic signature;
  2. a description of the material that was removed and where it appeared before it was removed;
  3. a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you believe in good faith that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification;
  4. your name, address, and telephone number; and
  5. a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or, if your address is outside the United States, any judicial district in which MYSHOWBIZ may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice, or that person's agent.

When we receive a complete counter-notice, we promptly send a copy, including your name, address, and telephone number, to the person who sent the original notice, and tell them that we will restore the material in 10 business days. We restore the material between 10 and 14 business days after we receive the counter-notice, unless our designated agent first receives notice from the person who sent the original notice that they have filed a court action seeking an order to stop the member from infringing.

3. Misrepresentations

Anyone who knowingly makes a material misrepresentation in a notice or counter-notice may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). Before you send a notice, consider whether the use may be permitted by law, for example as a fair use. If you are not sure whether material infringes your copyright, consider speaking with a lawyer before you send a notice.

4. Repeat infringers

We close the accounts of members who repeatedly infringe copyright. Designated MYSHOWBIZ staff check that a notice is complete. Each time we remove a member's material because of a complete notice, the member receives a strike. A strike is removed if the notice is withdrawn, if the material is restored after a counter-notice, or if we find the notice was not valid. A member who has three strikes within any 12-month period has their account terminated. We may also terminate an account sooner where the infringement is clear and serious.

A termination under this policy is a termination under Section 13 of our Terms of Service. As those Terms describe, an account terminated under this policy may be terminated without a refund, but a complaint that is pending or contested does not affect your right to a refund. You can challenge a termination by contacting hello@myshowbiz.com, and we will respond within 10 business days. If a strike that led to the termination is removed, we restore the account, along with any content we still have.

5. Our designated agent
