DMCA / Copyright Policy

Email team@illarin.xyz. Email is the only channel, and it is read by the person who runs Illarin.

Be straight with you about one thing: Illarin is a personal project and has not registered a designated agent with the United States Copyright Office, so it does not claim the DMCA safe harbour that registration provides. We follow the process below anyway, because it is the right way to handle a copyright complaint and it gives both sides a fair hearing.

Include all of this, or we may not be able to act:

1. Your signature, physical or electronic, as the copyright owner or someone authorised to act for them.
2. What work you say has been infringed. If it is many works at once, a representative list is enough.
3. What on Illarin you say is infringing, precisely enough for us to find it. The full address of the page is best.
4. Your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you believe in good faith that the use complained of is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that what you have said is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act for them.

• If the notice is complete and the claim is clear, we take the material down or cut off access to it within a reasonable time.
• We make a reasonable effort to tell the creator who uploaded it, and to pass on a copy of the notice.
• Accounts that keep infringing are closed.

Send a counter-notice to the same address, containing:

1. Your signature, physical or electronic.
2. What was removed, and the address where it used to be.
3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you believe in good faith it was removed through a mistake or a misidentification.
4. Your name, address, and telephone number; a statement that you accept the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the district you live in, or, if you live outside the United States, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia; and a statement that you will accept service of process from whoever sent the original notice.

If the counter-notice is complete, we may pass it to whoever sent the original notice. Unless they tell us they have gone to court to stop you, we may restore what was removed after a reasonable wait.

Knowingly lying in a notice or a counter-notice can make you liable under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), including for the other side’s damages and legal costs. Don’t send a claim you don’t mean.

For anything that is not copyright — a trademark, a right of publicity, an impersonation — write to team@illarin.xyz as well. Those are handled case by case rather than through the process above.
