1. Our position
Allmagine respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects the same of everyone who uses it. Our Terms of Service require that you hold the rights to any text you narrate — your own work, work licensed to you, or work in the public domain.
If you believe something on Allmagine infringes your copyright, tell us and we will act on it. We remove infringing material, and we terminate the accounts of people who infringe repeatedly.
2. How to report infringement
Send a written notice to dmca@allmagine.com including all of the following:
- your physical or electronic signature (typing your full name in the email is sufficient as an electronic signature);
- identification of the copyrighted work you say has been infringed;
- identification of the material you say is infringing, with enough detail for us to find it — the URL of the narration is the most useful thing you can give us, and for a narration with several tracks, which track;
- your name, 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 your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.
Please send complete notices. A notice missing these elements may not be legally effective, and chasing the missing pieces only delays the removal you asked for.
3. What we do when we receive one
We review notices promptly and, where a notice is valid, remove or disable access to the material. Because a narration exists in several places at once, removal covers all of them: the generated audio, the published text on the narration’s page, its cover art, and the embedded player wherever it has been placed on other sites, which stops working at the same moment.
What we cannot reach are copies that already exist elsewhere — audio someone downloaded, a page a search engine has cached, or material re-posted on another service. Those are outside our control and have to be pursued with whoever holds them.
We notify the creator whose material was removed, and we forward them your notice, including the contact information in it. That disclosure is unavoidable: it is what makes a counter-notice possible, and the law requires we pass it on if they file one.
4. If your work was removed by mistake
If you believe your narration was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to dmca@allmagine.com containing:
- your physical or electronic signature;
- identification of the material that was removed and where it appeared before removal;
- 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, together with a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if your address is outside the United States, any judicial district in which Allmagine may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice or from their agent.
We forward valid counter-notices to whoever sent the original notice. If they do not tell us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the activity, we restore the material.
5. Repeat infringers
We keep a record of the copyright notices we receive and which account each one concerns. In appropriate circumstances we terminate the accounts of repeat infringers, and someone whose account is terminated under this policy may not open a new one.
6. False claims
A takedown notice is a legal statement made under penalty of perjury. Under 17 U.S.C. §512(f), anyone who knowingly misrepresents that material is infringing — or that it was removed by mistake — can be held liable for damages, including costs and legal fees. Please be sure before you send one.
7. Complaints that aren't copyright
Some complaints look similar but aren’t copyright matters and can’t be handled through this process — trademark use, privacy concerns, defamation, or a claim that a narrator’s voice resembles your own. Send those to hello@allmagine.com and describe the problem. We read them.
