Scope of this policy
This process concerns material hosted or controlled by the Kommodo Downloader website or its project repository. The downloader does not intentionally host visitor recordings or copy video segments through its server. A recording available through Kommodo remains on third-party infrastructure, so a request about the underlying recording may need to be sent directly to the platform or party that hosts it.
We may remove or disable access to website text, code, images, links, or other project material that is properly identified in a valid notice. We may forward a notice to the person responsible for the material and retain it as part of the request record.
What to include in a copyright notice
Send a written notice that substantially includes the following information:
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act for the owner.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed, or a representative list if one notice covers multiple works.
- Identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to locate it, including the exact URL on this website or repository.
- Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner.
The statutory framework appears in 17 U.S.C. § 512, and the U.S. Copyright Office Section 512 resources provide additional guidance. Consider consulting a lawyer before submitting a notice.
Where to send the notice
Email the notice to [email protected] with the subject Copyright Notice. You may also identify a public repository file or issue URL. Do not attach the allegedly infringing recording unless requested; provide the precise location and enough information to evaluate the claim.
This published contact is the project's copyright contact. Publication on this page does not represent that a statutory designated-agent registration has been completed for every jurisdiction or safe-harbor program.
How notices may be handled
We may check whether the notice identifies material under our control and contains the required information. We may request clarification, remove or disable access to material, notify the person who provided it, forward relevant information, document the response, or decline a request that is incomplete, misdirected, fraudulent, or does not identify material we control.
Submitting knowingly false claims can create legal consequences. Consider fair use, license, public domain, and other lawful uses before making a claim. Removal is not a final judicial determination of ownership or infringement.
Counter-notification
If your material was removed or disabled because of a copyright notice and you believe that happened through mistake or misidentification, you may send a written counter-notice. It should substantially include:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the removed material and the location where it appeared before removal.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled because of mistake or misidentification.
- Your name, address, and telephone number.
- The jurisdiction and service-of-process consent statements required by applicable Section 512 procedure.
A counter-notice may be forwarded to the original claimant. The U.S. Copyright Office explains that Section 512 counter-notices require contact details, jurisdictional consent, and agreement to accept service of process. Obtain legal advice if you do not understand those consequences.
Repeat infringement and abuse
Where applicable and appropriate, access by repeat infringers may be restricted or terminated. The hosted downloader does not provide user accounts or public uploads, so the available response depends on the material and system involved.
We may protect the project and users from abusive notices, fraudulent impersonation, exposure of private data, or attempts to use copyright procedure for unrelated disputes. Personal information in notices is handled as described in the Privacy Policy.
Requests about a Kommodo recording
If your complaint concerns the recording itself rather than text, code, or a link controlled by this project, contact the recording owner and the service that hosts the media. Include the Kommodo share-page location in a report to the appropriate host, but do not post it publicly here. This project generally cannot remove a video stored on a third-party platform.
