DMCA & Copyright Compliance Policy
Compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512)
1. Statutory Commitment & Overview
LiveSportsTV (https://livesportstv.store/) respects the intellectual property rights of content producers, international broadcast organizations, and copyright holders. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (DMCA, 17 U.S.C. § 512), our policy is to respond expeditiously to legitimate notices of alleged copyright infringement.
2. Search Index Nature & Non-Hosting Verification
To avoid confusion regarding technical responsibilities:
• We do NOT host media: LiveSportsTV does not operate media streaming servers, transcoders, satellite downlinks, or file storage infrastructure.
• We index public playlists: Our platform indexes public domain and free-to-air playlists curated by the open-source community (iptv-org).
• Streams connect to original servers: When a user plays a channel, the video request connects directly to the broadcaster's own content delivery network (CDN).
However, we maintain zero tolerance for copyright infringements. We promptly de-index, purge, and blacklist any channel entry reported by its verified rights holder.
3. Requirements for Filing a Valid DMCA Notice
Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), an actionable notification of claimed infringement must be a written communication sent to our Designated Agent containing the following elements:
- Signature: A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
- Identification of Work: Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple works are covered, a representative catalog of such works.
- Identification of Infringing Listing: Identification of the material on LiveSportsTV that is claimed to be infringing, including the specific channel name, country code, and exact URL on our website.
- Contact Details: Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact the complaining party, including legal name, organization, physical mailing address, telephone number, and official corporate email address.
