Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Policy

AIMixtapes respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects everyone who uses AIMixtapes to do the same. We respond promptly to valid notices submitted under the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and comparable laws. This page explains what appears on the Service, how to file a takedown notice, and how to submit a counter notice if material was removed in error.

1. What Appears on AIMixtapes

The Service focuses on playlist metadata rather than hosting songs. Specifically, we:

• Store user-generated text such as playlist titles, descriptions, comments, gift stories, and AI prompts.
• Host optional artwork, cover imagery, and short voice dedications that users upload (for example, when sending a mixtape gift).
• Display album artwork obtained from official APIs (Spotify, Apple Music) or metadata sources like MusicBrainz/SERP API.
• Embed players or deep links to third-party services—Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube—for playback. We do not store or stream those tracks from our own infrastructure.

If your concern relates to audio or video hosted directly by a streaming platform, the fastest resolution is usually to submit a notice to that provider. We can remove playlist metadata or embedded links on AIMixtapes, but we cannot delete audio stored on third-party services.

2. Submitting a DMCA Takedown Notice

If you believe material available through AIMixtapes infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our Designated Copyright Agent that includes all of the following, as required by 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3):

1. A description of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed.
2. A description of the material you believe is infringing (for example, playlist URL, public gift page link, screenshot of AI output) with enough detail for us to locate it.
3. Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
4. A statement that you have a good-faith belief the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
5. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.
6. Your physical or electronic signature.

We may request additional information to verify the claim. When we remove or disable access to material in response to a valid notice, we notify the account holder responsible for the content and may provide them with your contact information so they can reply.

4. Counter Notice

If you believe material was removed or access disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter notice to the Copyright Agent that includes:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location where it appeared before removal (for example, the playlist or gift URL).
3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address, and telephone number, plus a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the district in which you reside (or, if outside the United States, the district where AIMixtapes may be found) and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice.

After we receive a valid counter notice, we will forward it to the original complainant. We may restore the content within 10–14 business days unless the complainant informs us that they have filed a court action to restrain the allegedly infringing activity.

5. Repeat Infringers

Consistent with the DMCA, we may, in appropriate circumstances, suspend or terminate accounts belonging to users who receive multiple infringement notices or who repeatedly upload infringing content.

Knowingly submitting a false notice or counter notice is unlawful. Under 17 U.S.C. §512(f), anyone who materially misrepresents that material is infringing—or that it was removed by mistake—may be liable for damages, including costs and attorney fees.
