DMCA & Copyright Policy

DropSub LLC ("DropSub", "we", "us") takes copyright infringement seriously. We comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512, and have implemented a policy to respond to valid notices of copyright infringement from rights holders or their authorized agents.

This document explains how to file a takedown notice, what information is required, and what you can expect from us in response.

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act is a United States copyright law that provides a framework for copyright holders to request the removal of content that infringes their rights from online services. It also protects online service providers from liability for content posted by their users, provided the service provider acts expeditiously to remove infringing content upon receiving a proper notice.

DropSub is a storage and distribution platform for artist content. Artists upload their own work — photos, videos, audio, documents — and provide fan access through subscription tiers. We do not create, edit, or own the content stored on our platform.

DropSub's platform is built for artists to share and monetize their own creative work. By accepting our Terms of Service, every artist certifies that they own or hold the necessary rights to any content they upload.

Despite these safeguards, infringing content may occasionally appear. We will respond promptly to valid DMCA takedown notices. If you believe content on DropSub infringes your copyright, please follow the process described below.

Please send your DMCA takedown notice to our designated copyright agent by email:

You may also send written notice by mail to:

Email is the fastest path — we monitor legal@dropsub.com and respond to notices within 1–2 business days.

A valid DMCA takedown notice must include all of the following elements (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)):

Notices that are materially incomplete may not be actioned. We may request additional information if your notice is unclear.

Upon receipt of a valid DMCA takedown notice, we will act expeditiously in the following sequence:

If your content was removed in response to a DMCA notice and you believe the removal was in error (e.g., you own the rights, the use is licensed, or the use is covered by fair use), you may submit a counter-notice to legal@dropsub.com.

A valid counter-notice must include:

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant. If the complainant does not notify us within 10–14 business days that they have filed a court action, we may restore the content.

DropSub maintains a policy of terminating the accounts of users who are found to be repeat infringers. An account may be suspended or terminated if we receive multiple valid DMCA notices relating to content uploaded by the same account, even if counter-notices are filed, and we determine in our reasonable discretion that the account holder is engaging in a pattern of infringing activity.

Repeat infringers will be permanently banned from creating new DropSub accounts. We reserve the right to escalate cases to relevant law enforcement or rights-holder organizations.

The DMCA provides remedies for knowingly materially misrepresenting that content is infringing (17 U.S.C. § 512(f)). If you knowingly misrepresent in a notification that material or activity is infringing, you may be liable for any resulting damages, including costs and attorneys' fees incurred by us or the accused infringer.

Before filing a notice, please consider whether the content may be covered by a license, fair use, or other exception. We take abuse of the DMCA process seriously and reserve the right to forward notices to the uploader in their entirety, including your contact details, as required by law.

All DMCA-related communications should be directed to our designated copyright agent:
