Repeat Infringer Policy
We terminate the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers of intellectual property rights. We investigate all claims thoroughly and apply this policy consistently.
Copyright Exemptions and Fair Use
We recognize that certain uses of copyrighted material may be permissible under fair use or other exemptions. However, we evaluate each claim on a case-by-case basis and do not consider fair use a blanket defense for unauthorized use.
