DMCA Copyright Policy

Effective date: June 16, 2026

Studio Queues respects the intellectual property rights of others and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512. This page explains how to submit a takedown notice if you believe content on our platform infringes your copyright, and how to submit a counter-notice if you believe content was removed in error.

1. Designated copyright agent

We have registered a designated agent with the U.S. Copyright Office. To submit a copyright claim, contact our agent at:

Name: Studio Queues LLC

Address: 4030 Wake Forest Road, STE 349, Raleigh, NC 27609

Phone: 828 · 482 · 7653

Email: dmca [at] studioqueues dot com

Email is the fastest method. Please include “DMCA Takedown” in the subject line.

2. How to submit a takedown notice

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

  1. Identification of the copyrighted work — a description of the work you claim has been infringed, or if multiple works are covered, a representative list.
  2. Identification of the infringing material — a description of the material you claim is infringing and its location on the Platform (URL or sufficient detail to locate it).
  3. Your contact information — your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
  4. Good faith statement — a statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  5. Accuracy statement — a statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf.
  6. Signature — your physical or electronic signature.

Notices that are missing required elements may not be acted upon. Knowingly submitting a false takedown notice may expose you to liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

3. What happens after we receive a notice

Upon receiving a valid takedown notice we will:

  1. Promptly remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content.
  2. Notify the user who uploaded the content that it has been removed.
  3. Provide that user with a copy of the notice (with your personal contact info redacted where possible).
  4. Inform the user of their right to submit a counter-notice.

4. How to submit a counter-notice

If you believe your content was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3). Your counter-notice must include:

  1. Identification of the removed material — a description of the material that was removed and its former location on the Platform.
  2. Statement under penalty of perjury — a statement that you have a good faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  3. Consent to jurisdiction — a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or any judicial district if your address is outside the United States), and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice.
  4. Your contact information — your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
  5. Signature — your physical or electronic signature.

Submit your counter-notice to our designated agent at dmca [at] studioqueues dot com with “DMCA Counter-Notice” in the subject line.

If we receive a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant and restore the content no sooner than 10 and no later than 14 business days after receiving the counter-notice, unless our designated agent receives notice that the complainant has filed a court action against you.

5. Repeat infringer policy

In accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), we maintain a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat copyright infringers. A user who receives three or more valid, uncontested DMCA takedown notices may have their account permanently terminated.

We reserve the right to terminate accounts of users who we determine, in our sole discretion, are repeat infringers regardless of the number of notices received.

6. Abuse of the DMCA process

Filing a false or fraudulent DMCA notice is a serious matter. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing — or that material was removed by mistake — may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. We reserve the right to seek damages from parties who abuse the DMCA notice process.
