DMCA & Copyright.

Designated Copyright Agent

tinyfiles.tv has a designated agent for copyright complaints, as required by the DMCA. All takedown notices must be sent to this agent by email or physical mail. We do not process DMCA requests through Discord, social media, or the community boards.

This is the same address listed in §11 of the Terms of Service and on the Feedback & Complaints page. There is one agent and one address.

What to Include in Your Notice

To be valid under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your notice must include all six of the following elements:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or of a person authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed. If multiple works are covered by the notice, provide a representative list.
3. Identification of the material you claim is infringing. Give us the specific URL(s) and, if applicable, the exact location on the page. "A piece on your site" is not enough — we need the URL.
4. Your contact information: address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A good-faith statement: a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. An accuracy statement under penalty of perjury: a statement that the information in your notice is accurate, and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

What Happens After We Receive Your Notice

We process notices in the order we receive them. The timeline for a complete, valid notice:

1. Within 48 hours: We acknowledge your notice by email. If your notice is incomplete, we tell you which elements are missing.
2. Within 5 business days: We review the notice, examine the identified work, and if the claim is credible, disable access to the material.
3. Same day as removal: We notify the creator of the work that their submission has been removed, and provide a copy of the notice.
4. If a counter-notice is filed: See the next section.

We may make a reasonable, good-faith effort to contact the reporting party before disabling a work if the claim is unclear — for example, if the notice identifies a work as infringing that appears to be original. We will not honor a notice that appears to be a mistake or a fraud.

Counter-Notice

If you are the creator of a removed work and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you can file a counter-notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3). To be valid, your counter-notice must include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed and its previous location (URL).
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of a mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address, and telephone number.
5. Consent to jurisdiction: a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the district where your address is located (or, if outside the United States, any judicial district in which tinyfiles.tv may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice or their agent.

Send counter-notices to the same designated agent, with the subject line Counter-Notice.

Repeat Infringer Policy

In appropriate circumstances, tinyfiles.tv will terminate the ability of creators who are the subject of repeated valid DMCA notices to submit new works. This is required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(i) and we take it seriously.

Because tinyfiles.tv has no player accounts, "termination" here means:

• First valid notice: The work is removed, the creator is notified, and a warning is logged.
• Second valid notice: The creator's other works are reviewed. If the pattern suggests systemic infringement, all their works are removed and their creator page is unpublished.
• Third valid notice: The creator is permanently barred from submitting new works.

We apply this policy based on valid notices, not on accusations. A creator who successfully counter-notices and has their work restored does not have that incident count against them.
