What Karaoke Queue! does (and doesn't) host

Karaoke Queue! is a party queue tool. We don't host or provide any songs or videos. Song files from the host's folder play only on the host's own device and are never uploaded to us. Video links play in the hosting site's own embedded player. So the things we can act on are:

• video links added to parties: we can block a link so it can no longer be added or played through Karaoke Queue!;
• people who repeatedly add infringing links: we can block their connection or Pro pass.

If the video itself is hosted on another site (for example YouTube), please also send your notice to that site, since only they can remove the video itself.

How to send a copyright notice

If you believe material reachable through Karaoke Queue! infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our agent above that includes (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)):

1. your physical or electronic signature (typing your full name is fine), as the copyright owner or someone authorized to act for them;
2. identification of the copyrighted work you say is infringed (or a list, if several works are covered by one notice);
3. the exact link(s) or other information that lets us find the material, for example the video link that was added to a party;
4. your name, address, phone number and email address;
5. a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law;
6. a statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner.

When we receive a complete notice, we act quickly to block the identified links and record the notice. Notices that are missing required parts may not be acted on; we may ask you for the missing details.

Counter-notices

If something you added was blocked and you believe it was a mistake or misidentification, you can send a counter-notice to our agent that includes (17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3)):

1. your physical or electronic signature;
2. identification of the material that was blocked (the link) and where it appeared before it was blocked;
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 phone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, if you are outside the U.S., any judicial district where Deus Core may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice or their agent.

We will send a copy of your counter-notice to the person who sent the original notice. Unless they tell us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action, we may restore the material 10 to 14 business days after we receive your counter-notice.

Repeat-infringer policy

Deus Core maintains a policy providing for the restriction or termination of access for people who repeatedly infringe copyright or repeatedly add material that infringes copyright. When we block a link after a valid notice, every connection that added that link in the previous 30 days gets a strike. We consider the circumstances, severity, frequency and history of reported violations when deciding what to do, which can include blocking connections and Pro passes. We may also block anyone who tries to get around a block. Strikes linked to a link that is restored after a valid counter-notice may be removed.

False claims

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly makes a material misrepresentation in a notice or counter-notice may be liable for damages, including costs and lawyers' fees. If you aren't sure whether something infringes your rights, consider talking to a lawyer first.

Records

We keep records of the notices and counter-notices we receive and what we did about them. Other questions (not copyright notices): support@deuscore.net.
