Copyright & rights-holder notices

Copyright & DMCA Policy

VidoSave respects copyright and other intellectual-property rights. This page explains how rights holders can report material or access that they believe infringes their copyright, what information a useful notice should contain, and how VidoSave may respond.

Last updated: August 26, 2026

Rights-holder notice A clear complaint identifies the protected work, the material at issue and the sender.
Review and appropriate action VidoSave can review a sufficiently specific notice and take proportionate technical action where appropriate.

VidoSave is not a public library of uploaded videos

VidoSave is a browser-based service that processes supported public links. It does not invite users to upload videos into a public VidoSave catalogue for other visitors to browse, and it does not claim ownership of third-party media referenced by submitted URLs.

A public URL does not automatically mean that the underlying work is free of copyright or may be downloaded, copied, republished or reused without permission. Users are responsible for having the rights, permission or other lawful basis needed for their use of media.

VidoSave may use technical infrastructure to process a submitted request and return an available media option. That technical processing does not transfer copyright, create permission, or convert third-party content into VidoSave-owned content.

Identify the exact material and the exact right you believe is affected

Specific notices are easier to evaluate than broad requests. Please identify the copyrighted work, the exact VidoSave URL or function involved, and the source material you believe should not be accessible through the service.

Use the copyright process only for genuine rights complaints.

Copyright notices should not be used to resolve ordinary disputes, criticism, competition, privacy complaints unrelated to copyright, or requests to remove material merely because it is unwanted.

What to include in a copyright or DMCA-style notice

To help VidoSave review a complaint efficiently, include substantially the following information.

Identify the copyrighted work Describe the original work you believe is protected. If several works are involved, provide a representative list that is clear enough to understand the claim.
Identify the material or access at issue Provide the exact VidoSave page, source URL, result or other information reasonably sufficient to locate what you are reporting.
Provide your contact information Include a name and a reliable way to contact you, such as an email address and any other information reasonably necessary to respond to the notice.
State your good-faith belief State that you have a good-faith belief that the complained-of use is not authorized by the copyright owner, the owner’s agent or the law.
Confirm accuracy and authority State that the information in the notice is accurate and, where applicable, that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act for the owner.
Sign the notice Include a physical or electronic signature, or another form of signed identification appropriate to the notice you are submitting.

A valid notice can lead to review, restriction or other technical action

The appropriate response depends on the nature of the complaint, the information supplied, the technical path involved and applicable law.

  • Review the notice. VidoSave may check whether the notice identifies the work, the material or access path, the sender and the basis of the claim with enough specificity to investigate.
  • Request missing information. If a complaint is too vague to act on safely, VidoSave may ask the sender for clarification or additional information.
  • Restrict or disable an affected path. Where appropriate, VidoSave may restrict, disable or technically block access involving a reported URL, result or source path.
  • Preserve relevant records where appropriate. VidoSave may retain reasonable records associated with a rights complaint for abuse prevention, dispute handling or legal compliance, subject to the Privacy Policy.
  • Act against repeated abuse. VidoSave may restrict access or take other reasonable action against repeated misuse of the service, repeated infringement-related abuse or fraudulent notice activity.

If you believe material was restricted because of mistake or misidentification

If VidoSave disables an access path after receiving a copyright complaint and you believe the action resulted from a mistake or misidentification, you may contact VidoSave and explain the basis of your objection.

Where a formal U.S. DMCA counter-notice process applies, additional statutory information may be required, including identification of the affected material, a statement under penalty of perjury that the removal or disabling resulted from mistake or misidentification, contact information, a physical or electronic signature, and the jurisdiction/service-of-process statements required by applicable law.

Do not send a formal counter-notice casually. Counter-notices can have legal consequences. If you are uncertain about your rights or obligations, consider obtaining independent legal advice.

False or abusive notices are not acceptable

VidoSave may reject or escalate notices that appear materially false, fraudulent, threatening, automated without meaningful review, or designed primarily to interfere with lawful activity rather than protect a genuine right.

Only report rights you are entitled to enforce

By submitting a complaint, the sender should have a reasonable basis for claiming ownership or authority to act for the rights holder. VidoSave may request additional information when authority is unclear.

Copyright is one part of responsible use

Copyright & DMCA FAQ

Does VidoSave claim ownership of videos processed through the service?

No. VidoSave does not claim ownership merely because a public link is processed. Rights remain subject to the copyright owner, applicable licenses, the source provider and applicable law.

Can a copyright owner ask VidoSave to review a specific URL?

Yes. A rights holder or authorized representative can submit a sufficiently specific complaint through the Contact page. The notice should identify the protected work, the exact material or access path at issue, the sender and the basis of the claim.

Does a public video automatically mean anyone may download or reuse it?

No. Public visibility by itself does not establish copyright ownership, a license, permission to download or permission to republish. Users should verify that their intended use is authorized.

What happens if a copyright complaint is incomplete?

VidoSave may request additional information when a complaint does not provide enough detail to identify the work, locate the reported material or understand the sender’s authority and claim.

Is this page a promise that VidoSave qualifies for a U.S. DMCA safe harbor?

No. This page describes a copyright-reporting process and accepts DMCA-style notices where relevant. It does not itself establish registration of a designated agent, legal status, or eligibility for any particular statutory safe harbor.

Respect for copyright is part of responsible service operation

VidoSave aims to handle specific, good-faith rights complaints responsibly while avoiding broad or unsupported removal requests that cannot be meaningfully investigated.
