DMCA Policy

SERIOUS

FIRST SEEN 2026-08-11 · VERSION 20260811_rev01 · FIRST CAPTURED VERSION

What changed, in plain language

This is the first captured version of AZNude's DMCA Policy, so everything in it is new to our record. It explains how to report copyrighted material, how to fight back if your upload is taken down by mistake, and what AZNude can do to your account. The parts that can hurt you: AZNude can shut down your account at its sole discretion even without repeat infringement, filing a counter-notice hands your name, address and phone number to the person who complained, copies of notices may be published on the Lumen database and in transparency reports, and filing a counter-notice means agreeing to be sued in a U.S. federal court.

Changes that may affect you

AZNude can shut down your account whenever it decides, even for a single incidentSERIOUS

TERMINATION

The policy lets AZNude cut off access or disable accounts entirely at its own discretion, and it explicitly says this applies even when there is no repeat infringement. There is no described warning, appeal, or refund path, and 'sole discretion' means you cannot demand a review of the decision.

“We may also at our sole discretion limit access to AZNude, terminate or disable the accounts of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.”

What you can do — Keep your own backup of anything you upload, since you may lose access without notice.

Fighting a takedown hands your name, address and phone number to the complainerSERIOUS

DATA SHARING

To dispute a removal you must give your full name, home address and phone number, and AZNude forwards all of it to the person who filed the complaint. That person may be a stranger. This is required by copyright law, but it is a real privacy cost that you should know about before you file.

“Please note that submitting a Counter-Notice means your personal information will be disclosed to the original claimant.”

What you can do — Before filing a counter-notice, weigh whether you are comfortable with the complainer having your contact details, and consider using a lawyer or authorized agent to file on your behalf.

Your notice may be published on a public database and in transparency reportsMATERIAL

DATA SHARING

Copies of legal notices can be sent to Lumen, a public website, and republished in AZNude's own transparency reports. Lumen removes submitters' contact information, but the rest of what you wrote can become publicly searchable. The promise about transparency reports is vaguer — it only says 'similar information' will be published.

“We may also publish similar information from your notice in future transparency reports.”

What you can do — Do not include private details in the body of a notice beyond what the law requires, since the text may end up public.

Disputing a removal means agreeing to be sued in a U.S. federal courtMATERIAL

JURISDICTION

You cannot file a counter-notice without agreeing that a U.S. federal court can decide the case and that you will accept legal papers from the complainer. If you live outside the United States, you agree to any district where AZNude's operator can be found, which could be far from you and expensive to reach.

“A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Federal District Court for the judicial district in which you are located (or if you are outside the U.S., for any judicial district in which the operator of AZNude may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who originally provided us with the DMCA Notice or an agent of such person.”

Strict filing rules can silently sink your complaint or appealMATERIAL

USER OBLIGATIONS

Emails with attachments are thrown away and never processed, and AZNude says it will not respond to counter-notices that miss any required element. You may never learn your submission was ignored. Both notices and counter-notices also require statements made under penalty of perjury, and a knowingly false takedown claim can leave you paying the other side's legal fees.

“We will not respond to counter-notifications that do not meet the requirements above.”

What you can do — Put every required item in the body of the email with no attachments, keep a copy of what you sent, and follow up if you get no response.

Changelog

+ ADDEDWhole DMCA policy is new to our record
The previous capture had no text, so the entire policy appears as added. It covers takedown notices, counter-notices, repeat infringers, publication of notices, and a free video fingerprinting service.
This policy is intended to implement the procedures set forth in 17 U.S.C. Section 512 and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") for the reporting of alleged copyright infringement.
+ ADDEDCopyright complaints must go to one email address, with no attachments
There is a single designated agent email that is only for copyright claims. Anything else sent there gets no reply. Emails with attachments are not received or processed at all, so you must put everything in the body of the message.
Please note that, due to security concerns, attachments cannot be accepted. Accordingly, any notification of infringement submitted electronically with an attachment will not be received or processed.
+ ADDEDDetailed checklist required for a takedown notice
A notice must include a signature, identification of the work and the infringing material, your contact details, a good-faith statement, and a statement made under penalty of perjury. Missing anything can delay processing.
Failure to include all of the above information may result in a delay of the processing or the DMCA notification.
+ ADDEDFiling a false claim can cost you money
If you knowingly claim something is infringing when it is not, you can be made to pay damages, including the other side's legal fees.
if you knowingly materially misrepresent that material or activity on AZNude is infringing your copyright, you may be held liable for damages (including costs and attorneys' fees) under Section 512(f) of the DMCA
+ ADDEDCounter-notice process and 10-14 business day restore window
If your content was removed by mistake, only you (the original uploader) or your authorized agent can file a counter-notice. AZNude forwards it to the complainer, and content may go back up after 10 but within 14 business days unless the complainer sues you.
the removed material may be restored after ten (10) business days but no later than fourteen (14) business days from the date we received your Counter-Notice
+ ADDEDYour personal details go to the person who complained
A counter-notice requires your name, address, phone number and signature, and AZNude states plainly that this information is passed to the original claimant.
Please note that submitting a Counter-Notice means your personal information will be disclosed to the original claimant.
+ ADDEDCounter-notice requires agreeing to a court's authority
To file a counter-notice you must consent to a U.S. federal court and agree to accept legal papers from the person who complained. If you live outside the U.S., that can be any district where AZNude's operator can be found.
A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Federal District Court for the judicial district in which you are located (or if you are outside the U.S., for any judicial district in which the operator of AZNude may be found)
+ ADDEDAccounts can be cut off at AZNude's sole discretion
AZNude can terminate or disable accounts of repeat infringers, and can also limit access or shut down accounts for any intellectual property infringement even if it only happened once. No appeal process is described.
We may also at our sole discretion limit access to AZNude, terminate or disable the accounts of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.
+ ADDEDNotices may be published on Lumen and in transparency reports
Copies of legal notices may be sent to the public Lumen database, which redacts submitters' contact information. AZNude may also publish similar information from your notice in future transparency reports.

+ ADDEDFree video fingerprinting offered to rights holders

AZNude provides a free service to digitally fingerprint your content and block future unauthorized uploads.
+ ADDEDBroken reference in the counter-notice section
The sentence that should name where your material was posted instead shows a scrambled email-protection link, which makes that part of the instructions confusing.
