Immediate Termination

For severe or willful infringement (mass uploading of copyrighted content, commercial piracy operations), we reserve the right to terminate accounts immediately without the three-strike process.

🔍
Pattern of Infringement

Accounts showing a pattern of infringement (multiple notices within a short period, systematic copyright violation) may be terminated at our discretion.

What Gets Terminated

  • All access to the Indrajala platform
  • All uploaded content (permanently deleted)
  • Earnings and pending payments (forfeited)
  • Email address banned from future registration

Prevention Tips for Creators

  • Only upload content you created yourself
  • Obtain proper licenses for any third-party material
  • Keep records of content creation dates
  • Respond promptly to any takedown notices

Fair Use Guidelines

Understanding copyright exceptions and educational use.

What Qualifies as Fair Use?

Likely Fair Use

  • Criticism and commentary with attribution
  • Parody and satire (transformative use)
  • News reporting and educational content
  • Small portions for analysis or review

Not Fair Use

  • Reposting full movies or songs
  • Using content as background/b-roll
  • Monetizing others' work without permission
  • Replacing the need for the original

⚠️ Fair Use is a Defense, Not a Right

Fair use is determined on a case-by-case basis in court. If you receive a DMCA notice for content you believe qualifies as fair use, you must file a counter-notice and be prepared to defend your position in court if necessary.
