DMCA & Copyright
Infringement Policy
LapisTV respects intellectual property rights and expects its users to do the same. This policy explains how copyright owners can report allegedly infringing content and how we respond to valid notices under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).
Important — Please Read
This policy is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. It is not a guarantee, warranty, or shield against any legal action, claim, or liability for copyright infringement. LapisTV is a service provider and responds to valid DMCA notices, but this document does not create any legal relationship or obligation beyond what the law requires. You should review this policy and any takedown notice with qualified legal counsel before relying on it or submitting a claim.
1. Overview & Scope
This policy applies to all content made available through the LapisTV service, including live channels, on-demand movies, series, and any user-facing features. It describes the process by which copyright owners (or their authorized agents) can notify us of alleged infringement and the steps we take in response.
We do not claim ownership of third-party content and do not control the upstream sources of streams. Where we are made aware of infringing material through a valid notice, we act to remove or disable access to that material in accordance with applicable law.
2. Filing a DMCA Notice
If you believe that content available through LapisTV infringes a copyright you own or control, you may submit a takedown notice. To be effective under the DMCA, your notice must include the following in writing:
Identify the copyrighted work
Identify the infringing material
Provide your contact details
Include a good-faith statement
Include an accuracy & authority statement
Physical or electronic signature
Send your completed notice to our designated copyright agent (contact details in Section 5). Please use the subject line "DMCA Takedown Notice".
3. How We Respond
When we receive a notice that substantially complies with the requirements above, we will:
- Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material, where feasible.
- Make a good-faith attempt to notify the user or operator associated with the affected content that we have removed or disabled access to it.
- Keep a record of valid notices and our actions for our internal compliance files.
A party that believes its content was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification may submit a counter-notification. A valid counter-notification must include identification of the removed material, a statement under penalty of perjury of a good-faith belief that removal was a mistake, your contact information, and your consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate courts. We may restore the material within 10–14 business days of receiving a valid counter-notification unless we first receive notice from the copyright owner that legal action has been filed.
4. Repeat-Infringer Policy
In appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, LapisTV will terminate or suspend the accounts or access of users who are determined to be repeat infringers. We maintain information sufficient to identify repeat infringers and apply this policy in a manner consistent with applicable law.
Submitting a knowingly false or bad-faith DMCA notice may expose the sender to liability for damages under Section 512(f) of the DMCA. Please verify your claims carefully before filing.
5. Contact & Copyright Agent
Direct all DMCA notices, counter-notifications, and copyright questions to our designated contact below. We aim to acknowledge valid notices promptly.

6. Legal Disclaimer

LapisTV reserves the right to modify this policy at any time. Changes take effect when posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage copyright owners and users to consult qualified legal counsel regarding their rights and obligations before submitting or responding to a takedown notice.
