WORLDWIDE
RECORD LABEL COPYRIGHT POLICY AND DMCA NOTIFICATION PROCESS
Worldwide Record Label (hereinafter referred to as “OUR”,
“WE”, or “US”) have adopted this Copyright Policy and DMCA Notification Process
(the “Copyright Policy”) in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright
Act of 1998, including the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation
Act (the “DMCA”) and the Nigerian Copyright Act, CAP C28, Laws ofthe Federation of Nigeria, 2004
We
respect the intellectual property rights of our users and others, and adhere to
the provisions of the DMCA. The Copyright Policy applies to the website www.worldwiderecordlabel.com (the “Site”) to address claims of infringement
pertaining to copyrighted material owned or controlled by a third party.
WHAT
IS COPYRIGHT AND CONTENT USAGE
Copyright
is a form of legal protection given to authors of original works such as literary,
dramatic, musical, artistic, graphic, photographic, software and certain other
intellectual works. The copyright owner has the exclusive right to reproduce
the work, make new works based on the work, distribute copies, and perform or
display the work, during the duration of copyright protection, subject to very
limited fair use rights of others to use only such amount as necessary to
exercise fair use rights. You should assume all third party content is
protected by copyright unless you have determined otherwise with the assistance
of legal counsel and you should not rely on fair use except pursuant to advice
of legal counsel. You can, however, seek a permission or license to use third
party copyright protected content and once obtained will have the right to do
so.
Pursuant
to the General Terms and Conditions of the Site each Site user is responsible
for ensuring that the materials they upload to the Site do not infringe any
third party copyright. Additionally, the General Terms and Conditions prohibit
Site users from using the site to infringe the intellectual property rights of
any person or entity.
If
you are a copyright holder who believes that any of the material(s) on the Site
violates your copyright rights, please follow the guidelines and procedures
below to provide us with appropriate notice. We will respond to clear written
notices alleging infringement that comply with, or substantially comply with,
the DMCA and other applicable laws.
We
will remove or disable access to allegedly infringing material from the Site
upon receipt of a valid DMCA notice as required by the DMCA and will provide
the allegedly infringing party with a copy of the DMCA notice alleging
infringement. If the party who posted the allegedly infringing information
files a valid counter-notification, the materials will be reposted unless you
file a claim for relief as further set forth in the DMCA.
Worldwide Record Label do not act as an arbiter or judge
of disputes about intellectual property rights. We do not adjudicate the
substance of the copyright claim: we do not declare winners and losers. Your
copyright in an item is determined in the real world, by real-world processes
including the DMCA. The DMCA process allows users of an online service to
resolve copyright disputes using the adjudication systems available in the real
world. By disabling access to or removing content, as a prudential matter, we
are not endorsing or validating a claim of infringement.
REPEAT
INFRINGER POLICY
Pursuant
to the General Terms and Conditions, if a Site user engages in “repeat
infringement” we may terminate the user’s registration and Site account without
notice, and the user will no longer be permitted access to the Site or the
Services. “Repeat infringement” shall be defined as two (2) or more instances,
as determined by us in our reasonable discretion, where a user has infringed
the copyright rights of another person. In the event a user’s materials are
removed due to a DMCA notice and then subsequently restored due to the filing
of a DMCA counter-notification, we will treat the underlying DMCA notice as
withdrawn. We reserve the right to terminate Site accounts that are the subject
of fewer than two (2) instances of infringement of the copyright rights of
another person in appropriate circumstances, such as when the user has a
history of violating or willfully disregarding the General Terms and
Conditions.
DMCA
NOTICE PROCESS
The
DMCA provides a process for a copyright owner to give notification to an online
service provider concerning alleged copyright infringement. When a valid DMCA
notification is received, the service provider responds under this process by
taking down the offending content. Upon taking down content pursuant to the
DMCA, the online service provider will take reasonable steps to contact the
owner of the removed content so that a counter-notification may be filed. On
receiving a valid counter-notification, the online service provider generally
restores the content in question, unless it receives notice from the
notification provider that a legal action has been filed seeking a court order
to restrain the alleged infringer from engaging in the infringing activity.
