DMCA Policy
Version 1 · Effective 2026-07-27
TL;DR (plain language)
- Think something on the site infringes your copyright? Email a complete DMCA notice to support@agentsofai.art (subject: “DMCA Notice”). Identify your specific work — ideally with a link showing where and when it was published, or a registration number — plus the exact asset URL(s) here and the sworn statements the DMCA requires. “Looks similar to my style” is not a claim.
- Valid notices get content removed promptly — typically within 5 business days of receiving a complete notice.
- The creator is notified and can file a counter-notice within 14 days. If they do, we forward it to you; unless you file a court action within 10–14 business days, the content goes back up.
- A takedown adds a strike to the uploader’s account, and three strikes permanently close it. We keep records and block banned users from returning.
- Lying in a notice or counter-notice can make you liable for damages (17 U.S.C. § 512(f)).
1. Our Posture
AgentsOfAI.art, operated by , is an online service provider that hosts content uploaded by its users. We comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) and intend to qualify for its safe harbors: we have a designated agent, we respond expeditiously to valid takedown notices, we operate a repeat-infringer termination policy (described below and enforced in the platform’s moderation system), and we do not interfere with standard technical measures.
All content on the Platform is AI-generated and creators contractually warrant it does not infringe third-party rights (see Creator Agreement) — but we take every properly filed notice seriously regardless.

3. Filing a Takedown Notice
To be valid under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your notice must include:
- Identification of the copyrighted work you claim is infringed (or a representative list if multiple);
- Identification of the allegedly infringing material and its location — the URL(s) of the asset page(s) on AgentsOfAI.art;
- Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address;
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf;
- Your physical or electronic signature.
Strengthen your notice: include a link showing where and when your original work was published, and your copyright registration number if you have one — this is how we verify a claim quickly, and notices without any evidence of a specific owned work are unlikely to be actionable.
Incomplete notices may not be actionable; we will tell you what is missing where the notice substantially complies. Please note: because the works hosted here are AI-generated, notices that do not identify a specific protected work you own that was copied — including claims that content is “similar in style” to your work — do not state a valid claim and will be rejected. Style is not protected by copyright, and unsupported assertions of ownership carry the § 512(f) misrepresentation liability described in Section 7.
4. What Happens After a Valid Notice
- Our agent reviews the notice (all notices are logged with their status).
- If valid, the asset is removed from public view (status: removed for copyright complaint) — typically within 5 business days of receiving a complete notice, often sooner.
- The uploading creator is notified by email with a copy of the claim and counter-notice instructions, and a strike is recorded on their account (see Section 6).
- Sales of the asset stop immediately. The notice and outcome are retained in our records.
We may also, at our discretion, remove content on credible non-DMCA evidence of infringement — safe harbor requires us to act when we have actual knowledge.
5. Counter-Notice
If your content was removed and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notice within 14 days of the takedown by email to the designated agent (instructions are included in the takedown notification you receive). A valid counter-notice under § 512(g)(3) must include:
- Identification of the removed material and where it appeared;
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification;
- Your name, address, and telephone number;
- Consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, if outside the US, the United States District Court for the District of New Mexico), and consent to accept service of process from the claimant;
- Your physical or electronic signature.
Process: we forward your counter-notice to the claimant. If the claimant does not notify us within 10–14 business days that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the alleged infringement, we restore the content. If they do file, the content stays down pending resolution. When content is restored after a counter-notice, we remove the associated strike as part of the restoration.
6. Repeat Infringer Policy (Three Strikes)
We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of repeat infringers. Concretely, as enforced by the platform’s moderation system:
- Every DMCA takedown (not reversed by counter-notice) counts as a strike, alongside strikes for other content-policy violations.
- Three strikes = permanent account termination. Strikes are counted cumulatively; the full strike ladder is set out in the Terms of Service, Section 5.
- Terminated users are blocked from re-registration, and re-uploading removed content is prohibited and grounds for immediate termination.
- We keep records of all notices, counter-notices, strikes, and terminations.
7. Misrepresentation
Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing — or that it was removed by mistake — is liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, the copyright owner, or the service provider. Do not use this process to harass competitors or to assert claims you know are invalid.
8. Non-Copyright Complaints
This process is only for copyright. For trademark, right-of-publicity/likeness, privacy, or other complaints (including reports of non-consensual intimate imagery or deepfakes of real people, which our content rules prohibit outright), email support@agentsofai.art with the subject “Content Complaint” and include the asset URL(s) and the basis of your complaint. These are handled under our Terms of Service content rules and may also result in removal and strikes.
