SECTION 1 — SUBMITTING A COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT NOTICE
To be effective under the DMCA, your notice must be in writing and must include all of the following elements (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)):
Required Elements
1. Identification of the copyrighted work(s): A description of the copyrighted work(s) you claim have been infringed. If multiple works are covered by a single notice, a representative list is acceptable.
2. Identification of the infringing material: A description of the material you claim is infringing and that you want removed, with enough specificity for us to locate it. A direct URL to the infringing content on the Aktion platform is preferred. General descriptions without a specific URL may not be actionable.
3. Your contact information: Your full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
4. Statement of good faith belief: A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
5. Statement of accuracy and authority: A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notification is accurate AND that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
6. Physical or electronic signature: Your physical or electronic signature.
Submitting Your Notice
Send your notice to:
Email: dmca@aktionfilmai.com (preferred, fastest processing)
Mail: [DMCA Agent address above]
Warning about false notices: Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees.
SECTION 2 — HOW AKTION PROCESSES NOTICES
Upon receiving a complete, valid DMCA notice, Aktion will:
1. Acknowledge receipt within 2 business days 2. Review the notice for completeness and facial validity 3. Temporarily remove or disable access to the identified content if the notice is complete and facially valid 4. Notify the user who uploaded or generated the content that the content has been removed and that a counter-notification may be submitted 5. Log the takedown including date, content removed, noticing party, and notice reference number 6. Forward the notice to the affected user (redacting your personal contact information)
If the notice is incomplete, we will notify you of the deficiency and allow you an opportunity to cure it. Incomplete notices will not be actioned.
Aktion processes valid notices within 10 business days of receipt, consistent with DMCA requirements.
SECTION 3 — COUNTER-NOTIFICATION PROCEDURE
If you believe your content was removed in error — for example, because you have authorization from the copyright owner, your use constitutes fair use, or the notice was a false claim — you may submit a counter-notification.
Required Elements for Counter-Notification
Your counter-notification must include (17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3)):
1. Identification of the removed content and its location on the platform before removal (the URL or your account reference)
2. Statement of good faith belief: A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification
3. Your consent to jurisdiction: A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if you are outside the U.S., that you consent to jurisdiction in any judicial district in which Aktion may be found)
4. Your contact information: Full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address
5. Physical or electronic signature
Send Counter-Notification To:
Email: dmca@aktionfilmai.com
Subject line: "DMCA Counter-Notification"
Effect of Counter-Notification
If Aktion receives a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original noticing party. If the noticing party does not file a court action within 10–14 business days of receiving the counter-notification, we will restore the removed content. This is the timeline required by the DMCA.
Warning about false counter-notifications: Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), knowingly misrepresenting that material was removed by mistake or misidentification may make you liable for damages.
SECTION 4 — REPEAT INFRINGER POLICY
In accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), Aktion maintains a repeat infringer policy. A user who receives three or more valid, uncontested DMCA takedown notices within any rolling 12-month period will have their account permanently terminated. "Uncontested" means the user did not submit a counter-notification or the counter-notification was unsuccessful.
Aktion reserves the right to terminate accounts with fewer than three notices in cases of egregious infringement (e.g., uploading entire copyrighted films, systematic infringement, commercial-scale copying).
SECTION 5 — SPECIAL NOTE ON AI-GENERATED CONTENT
AI generation does not insulate content from copyright infringement claims. AI models may reproduce copyrightable expression from their training data in generated outputs. If your generation request was designed to reproduce specific copyrighted works (e.g., "generate a video that looks exactly like [Film Title]"), the output may infringe.
Additionally, the DMCA's treatment of AI-generated content is evolving. The Copyright Office is actively examining AI-related copyright issues. We recommend monitoring Copyright Office guidance at copyright.gov.
SECTION 6 — THIRD-PARTY MODEL PROVIDER LIMITATIONS
Copyright claims relating to the underlying training data of third-party AI models (Kling, Wan, Flux, Seedance, Veo) are not within Aktion's control and must be directed to the respective model providers. Aktion's DMCA procedure covers content stored on or transmitted through Aktion's own platform; it does not extend to claims about model training data.
