Copyright & Takedown Policy

1. Before submitting a notice

Copyright protects original expression, not every idea, fact, title or concept. Before reporting content, consider whether the use is authorized by the rights holder, licensed, in the public domain, or permitted by an applicable legal exception such as fair use or fair dealing. AYIN cannot provide legal advice or decide private ownership disputes beyond what is reasonably necessary to operate the service.

2. Copyright infringement notices

A useful notice should identify:

• the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed;
• the AYIN URL, video, channel or other material to be reviewed;
• the reporting party's name and reliable contact information;
• the basis for the reporting party's authority to act for the rights holder;
• a good-faith statement that the disputed use is not authorized by the rights holder, its agent or applicable law;
• a statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, where applicable law requires it, made under penalty of perjury;
• a physical or electronic signature where legally required.

Send legal copyright notices to mohamed@horusmedia.net. Signed-in users may also use AYIN's reporting tools where available. Please provide direct AYIN URLs rather than search terms or screenshots alone.

3. What AYIN may do after receiving a notice

AYIN may request clarification, preserve relevant records, restrict or remove material, notify the uploader, record a moderation or rights case, or decline a notice that lacks enough information to identify the work or allegedly infringing material. Actions may differ by jurisdiction and by the legal process that applies to a particular notice.

4. Counter-notices and disputes

If you believe material was removed or disabled because of a mistake or misidentification, you may respond with the information required by the applicable legal process. A counter-notice should clearly identify the removed material, explain the basis for your claim, provide reliable contact information and include any declarations, jurisdictional consent or signature required by law. AYIN may forward a valid counter-notice to the original claimant when legally appropriate.

5. Repeat infringement

AYIN may issue warnings, strikes, restrictions or account/channel suspension for repeated or serious copyright infringement. We may consider the number, reliability and outcome of notices; counter-notices; retractions; court orders; the user's history; and other relevant circumstances. Abuse of the copyright process, including knowingly false notices or counter-notices, may also result in action.

6. Public domain and open licenses

A public-domain or open-license label is not enough by itself. Uploaders must verify the status of the specific item they use and comply with attribution, notice, ShareAlike or other license conditions. Separate rights such as trademarks, publicity, privacy, music, performances or underlying works may still apply even when a particular recording or file is freely reusable.

7. Preservation and disclosure

AYIN may retain notices, counter-notices, rights declarations, moderation records and related evidence for legal compliance, repeat-infringer administration, fraud prevention and dispute resolution. Information may be disclosed when required by law or reasonably necessary to process a valid rights claim.
