Copyright Policy

Lyvy Stream respects the intellectual property rights of creators, copyright owners, artists, musicians, publishers, production companies, and other rights holders.

This Copyright Policy establishes how copyright-protected material may be used on Lyvy Stream, how alleged infringement may be reported, how copyright disputes may be handled, and what actions may be taken when users repeatedly violate intellectual property rights.

This policy applies to all Lyvy Stream products and services, including live streaming, video-on-demand, long-form videos, short-form videos, comments, channel pages, profile images, thumbnails, and other content submitted by users.

Copyright is a form of legal protection for original creative works. Depending on applicable law, protection may cover:

Copyright generally does not protect ideas, facts, methods, or concepts by themselves. Other intellectual property laws may apply to some of those elements.

Copyright generally belongs initially to the creator of an eligible original work, subject to applicable law, employment arrangements, assignments, licenses, and other ownership rules.

A creator may grant another person or organization permission to use the work or may transfer certain rights.

Users must not assume that publicly accessible material is free to copy, redistribute, broadcast, or monetize.

Users generally retain ownership of content they create and lawfully publish on Lyvy Stream, subject to third-party rights and the platform license described in the Terms of Service.

By uploading content, users do not automatically transfer ownership to Lyvy Stream.

Users must ensure that their uploads, streams, and other contributions comply with this policy and applicable law.

Users may use copyrighted material when they have the necessary rights, permission, license, or another lawful basis.

Examples include:

The availability of a copyright exception depends on the particular circumstances and applicable law. Lyvy Stream does not guarantee that a particular use qualifies.

Potentially infringing activity includes:

These examples do not automatically determine whether a particular use is unlawful. Each case depends on its facts and the applicable law.

Live streams are subject to the same copyright requirements as recorded content.

Streamers are responsible for obtaining the necessary rights for all material included in their broadcasts, including music, television audio, video clips, performances, and background recordings.

A stream may raise copyright concerns even if the protected material appears briefly or plays in the background.

Lyvy Stream may interrupt a live broadcast, mute audio, restrict access, remove a replay, or suspend streaming privileges when appropriate to address a complaint, suspected infringement, or legal requirement.

Music may involve separate rights in the musical composition, lyrics, sound recording, and performance.

Permission to use one component does not necessarily authorize use of the others.

Users must obtain all licenses required for their intended use, including synchronization, reproduction, public performance, distribution, and monetization rights where applicable.

A personal music subscription does not automatically grant permission to broadcast music publicly on Lyvy Stream.

Users may not broadcast, upload, or redistribute copyrighted movies, television programs, subscription programming, sports broadcasts, or other protected audiovisual material without the necessary authorization.

Owning a physical copy, purchasing a digital copy, or having a streaming subscription does not automatically authorize public redistribution.

Lyvy Stream may restrict or remove material when required by applicable law or when its review of a copyright complaint supports enforcement action.

Short-form videos, clips, remixes, compilations, reaction videos, and edited videos remain subject to copyright law.

Changing the length, format, speed, soundtrack, colors, or visual presentation of another person's work does not automatically make the use lawful.

Users must evaluate whether they have authorization or a valid legal basis for incorporating third-party material.

Copyright rules apply to profile pictures, thumbnails, channel banners, illustrations, photographs, logos, and other visual assets.

Users should create their own artwork, obtain permission, or use material under an appropriate license.

A publicly accessible image is not automatically free for commercial or public use.

Gameplay, game footage, game music, software demonstrations, and other gaming-related content may be subject to copyright and separate publisher or developer policies.

Users are responsible for reviewing any applicable permissions and restrictions before streaming, recording, or monetizing such content.

Lyvy Stream does not guarantee that a publisher permits every form of gameplay recording, redistribution, or monetization.

A copyright owner or an authorized representative may report content believed to infringe their rights.

A copyright complaint should identify the protected work, identify the allegedly infringing material, provide reliable contact information, explain the basis of the complaint, and include any declarations and signatures required by applicable law.

Complaints should be submitted in good faith and should not be used to harass competitors, silence lawful criticism, or make unsupported ownership claims.

To begin a complaint, visit the Lyvy Stream website and use the available support or feedback options. Clearly identify the request as a **Copyright Infringement Notice**.

Include the following information:

1. **Copyrighted work:** Identify and describe the work you believe is being infringed.

2. **Reported material:** Provide the direct URL of each allegedly infringing item and sufficient information to locate it.

3. **Contact details:** Provide your full name and reliable contact information.

4. **Ownership or authority:** Explain whether you own the rights or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

5. **Good-faith declaration:** Include the statement required by applicable law concerning your belief that the disputed use is unauthorized.

6. **Accuracy and authority declaration:** Include any legally required statement confirming the accuracy of your notice and your authority to submit it.

7. **Signature:** Include a physical or electronic signature where required.

A complaint may be delayed or rejected if essential information is missing.

Contacting general support does not automatically establish that a notice satisfies the legal requirements for a formal DMCA takedown request.

Lyvy Stream may review a complaint to determine whether it identifies the material, provides sufficient information, and establishes a reasonable basis for further action.

Depending on the circumstances, Lyvy Stream may:

Lyvy Stream does not guarantee a specific outcome or response time.

Where supported by Lyvy Stream's procedures and permitted by law, the platform may provide advance notice before a removal takes effect.

If advance notice is provided, it will explain any applicable deadline and available actions.

Lyvy Stream may also use reasonable measures to prevent repeated uploads of material previously removed for copyright infringement where technically supported and legally appropriate.

This policy does not promise that scheduled removals or automated copy prevention are currently available as platform features.

Handling a copyright complaint may require sharing certain information with the affected user or complainant.

Information disclosed may include the identity of the complainant, the description of the disputed work, the reported content, and information necessary to process a legally required counter-notification.

Lyvy Stream will handle personal information in accordance with applicable law and its Privacy Policy.

Individuals concerned about disclosing personal information may consider seeking advice from a qualified attorney or authorized representative before filing a legal notice.

A copyright owner who has submitted a complaint may request to withdraw or retract it.

The request should identify the original complaint and the affected content and clearly state that the complainant wishes to withdraw the claim.

Lyvy Stream may request verification that the person submitting the retraction is the original complainant or is authorized to act on their behalf.

A retraction does not automatically guarantee restoration of content if another legal, policy, or safety issue independently requires its restriction.

Users who believe content was removed because of a mistake, misidentification, authorization, or a valid legal exception may request a review through the support or feedback options on the Lyvy Stream website.

The request should identify the removed material, explain why the user believes the action was incorrect, and include relevant supporting evidence.

Examples of supporting evidence may include a license, written permission, proof of ownership, or an explanation of the legal basis for the disputed use.

A general appeal is not necessarily a legally valid DMCA counter-notification.

Where the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) applies, an eligible user may submit a formal counter-notification if material was removed or disabled because of a copyright notice and the user believes the removal resulted from a mistake or misidentification.

A legally sufficient counter-notification generally requires:

Additional requirements may apply depending on the circumstances.

Lyvy Stream will process formal counter-notifications according to applicable law and any legally required procedures. Users should not treat a general support message as a substitute for a legally sufficient counter-notification.

Where a legally sufficient counter-notification is received, Lyvy Stream may forward it to the original complainant as permitted or required by law.

If applicable law establishes a process for restoring material following a counter-notification, Lyvy Stream will follow the relevant statutory requirements.

Restoration may be delayed or prevented by applicable legal proceedings or other lawful grounds for restricting the material.

Lyvy Stream does not decide legal ownership disputes or act as a court.

Copyright procedures must not be used to make knowingly false claims, misrepresent ownership, or improperly suppress lawful expression.

Submitting materially false information in a copyright notice or counter-notification may have legal consequences.

Lyvy Stream may restrict reporting privileges or take other appropriate measures against repeated abuse of its copyright procedures, subject to applicable law.

Lyvy Stream may record copyright-related violations and apply account restrictions where appropriate.

Depending on the circumstances, enforcement may include:

A copyright complaint, a platform warning, a content restriction, and a formal legal takedown are not necessarily the same thing.

Lyvy Stream will communicate the nature of an enforcement action where appropriate and legally permitted.

Lyvy Stream may suspend or terminate accounts belonging to users who repeatedly infringe copyright.

In assessing repeat infringement, Lyvy Stream may consider the number and nature of substantiated complaints, account history, available dispute information, repeated uploads of removed material, and applicable legal requirements.

Where required by law, Lyvy Stream will maintain and reasonably implement a repeat-infringer policy.

Copyright-related enforcement may affect live-streaming access.

Depending on the severity, frequency, and circumstances of a violation, Lyvy Stream may interrupt an active broadcast, disable streaming temporarily, restrict future broadcasts, or terminate access to live-streaming features.

Any restriction will be subject to applicable law and the platform's enforcement procedures.

Copyright violations may affect eligibility for advertising, subscriptions, memberships, digital gifts, Lyvy Coins, creator earnings, and payouts.

Lyvy Stream may suspend monetization or restrict monetization features when content is subject to a credible copyright dispute or when continued monetization would violate applicable law or platform rules.

Any handling of disputed earnings will be governed by applicable law, the Terms of Service, and relevant payment and monetization terms.

Where technical systems are implemented, Lyvy Stream may use automated tools to identify potential matches between uploaded content and reference material.

Such tools may assist in reviewing music, video, or other copyrighted material.

Automated matches can produce errors and do not necessarily establish infringement. A review may be required to consider licensing, ownership, exceptions, and other relevant circumstances.

This policy does not represent that Lyvy Stream currently operates a system equivalent to YouTube Content ID.

Lyvy Stream may introduce or use rights-management tools that help eligible rights holders identify, report, or manage their protected content.

The availability of any tool may depend on technical capabilities, eligibility criteria, and platform procedures.

No particular automated matching, blocking, tracking, or revenue-sharing feature is guaranteed by this policy unless Lyvy Stream separately makes it available.

Users must not unlawfully circumvent technical protections or interfere with legitimate rights-management systems.

Lyvy Stream may implement reasonable technical and administrative measures to protect intellectual property, enforce platform rules, and comply with applicable law.

Lyvy Stream may contain links to third-party websites, applications, or services.

The presence of third-party content or a link does not establish that the material is authorized for reuse or endorsed by Lyvy Stream.

Users remain responsible for ensuring that they have the necessary rights to use third-party content.

This policy primarily addresses copyright. It does not replace legal protections for trademarks, patents, trade secrets, publicity rights, privacy rights, or other intellectual property and personal rights.

Reports involving other rights may be submitted through the support options on the Lyvy Stream website for review under applicable policies and laws.

Users must respect the copyright and other applicable rights associated with content featuring children.

The fact that a person appears in a video does not automatically grant the uploader permission to use every copyrighted element within that video.

Users must also comply with Lyvy Stream's Terms of Service, applicable child-safety requirements, and other relevant platform policies.

Copyright complaints and disputes may involve personal information.

Lyvy Stream will handle such information according to applicable law and its Privacy Policy.

Users should avoid publishing personal addresses, private telephone numbers, identity documents, or other sensitive information in public comments or posts.

Lyvy Stream does not guarantee that every potentially infringing work will be detected, reviewed, or removed.

The platform may not have access to all licensing information or evidence needed to resolve a dispute conclusively.

Users and rights holders remain responsible for protecting their rights and obtaining legal advice when necessary.

This policy provides general information about Lyvy Stream's copyright procedures and is not legal advice.

Lyvy Stream does not act as a lawyer for users, copyright owners, or other parties and does not determine legal ownership disputes.

Individuals who need advice concerning copyright ownership, fair use, licensing, or formal legal notices should consult a qualified legal professional.

Copyright issues are governed by applicable laws and regulations, which may differ by jurisdiction.

Where applicable, Lyvy Stream will comply with legal requirements governing copyright notices, counter-notifications, content removal, repeat infringement, and the handling of relevant information.

Nothing in this policy is intended to waive rights or obligations that cannot lawfully be waived.

Lyvy Stream may update this Copyright Policy to reflect changes in applicable law, platform features, rights-management procedures, or operational requirements.

The current version will be published on this page with an updated effective or last-updated date.

Where required by law, Lyvy Stream will provide additional notice of material changes.

For copyright questions, suspected infringement, or assistance with a copyright complaint, visit the Lyvy Stream official website and use the available support or feedback options.

Clearly identify your request as a copyright matter and provide the URL of the relevant content along with sufficient information to explain the issue.

Submitting a general support request does not necessarily satisfy the legal requirements for a formal DMCA notice.

Formal DMCA notices may be subject to statutory requirements concerning the recipient, required declarations, signatures, and other information.

Lyvy Stream does not identify a designated DMCA agent in this policy because a registered agent and the appropriate contact details have not been independently confirmed here.

Before relying on Lyvy Stream's process for formal DMCA notices, rights holders should verify the applicable submission procedure and the designated agent information, where required, through the appropriate official records and platform contact channels.
