DMCA Policy (Digital Millennium Copyright Act)
1. Introduction
Britishtvuk.uk IPTV (" Britishtvuk.uk", "we", "us", "our") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (DMCA), the text of which may be found on the U.S. Copyright Office website at www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf, we will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed using the Britishtvuk.uk IPTV service and/or the Britishtvuk.uk IPTV website (the "Site") if such claims are reported to our Designated Copyright Agent identified below. Our general approach to copyright is also outlined in our Terms of Service.
Britishtvuk.uk IPTV does not host, provide, archive, store, or distribute media of any kind. We act as an index or directory of media posted by other enthusiasts on the internet, which is completely outside of our control. We respect the rights of copyright holders and are committed to addressing infringement claims.
2. Notification of Copyright Infringement
If you are a copyright owner, authorized to act on behalf of one, or authorized to act under any exclusive right under copyright, please report alleged copyright infringements taking place on or through the Site or Service by completing the following DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement and delivering it to our Designated Copyright Agent.
Upon receipt of a DMCA Notice, we will take whatever action, in our sole discretion, we deem appropriate, including removal of the challenged content from the Service listings or disabling access to it.
3. DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement ("Notice")
To file a notice of infringing material on Britishtvuk.uk IPTV, please provide a notification containing the following details:
- Identify the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed, or - if multiple copyrighted works are covered by this Notice - you may provide a representative list of the copyrighted works that you claim have been infringed. You can find information about registering copyrights at the U.S. Copyright Office or the UK Intellectual Property Office.
- Identify the material or link you claim is infringing (or the subject of infringing activity) and to which access is to be disabled, including at a minimum, if applicable, the URL of the link shown on the Site or the exact location where such material may be found. (Please note: Simply providing a channel name is often insufficient. Please provide specific details that allow us to locate the content, e.g., specific stream URL or M3U playlist URL if known, or specific EPG data if that's the infringing element).
- Provide your company affiliation (if applicable), mailing address, telephone number, and, if available, email address.
- Include both of the following statements in the body of the Notice:
- "I hereby state that I have a good faith belief that the disputed use of the copyrighted material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law (e.g., as a fair use)."
- "I hereby state that the information in this Notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that I am the owner, or authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of the copyright or of an exclusive right under the copyright that is allegedly infringed."
- Provide your full legal name and your electronic or physical signature.
