Copyright & DMCA
Last updated: 4 July 2026 · Notice-and-takedown policy (worldwide)
HecticTV respects intellectual-property rights and expects users to do the same. We operate a notice-and-takedown process consistent with the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA §512) and comparable laws worldwide. We do not host or transcode third-party content you embed from other platforms — embedded content remains with the source platform.
1. Reporting infringement (takedown notice)
If you believe content on HecticTV infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our copyright agent that includes:
(a) your physical or electronic signature; (b) identification of the copyrighted work; (c) the URL/location of the allegedly infringing material; (d) your contact details; (e) a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorised by the owner, its agent, or the law; and (f) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are the owner or authorised to act on the owner's behalf.
2. Our response
On receipt of a valid notice we will remove or disable access to the material expeditiously and make a reasonable effort to notify the affected user.
3. Counter-notification
If your content was removed and you believe it was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice including: your signature; identification of the removed material and its prior location; a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief it was removed by mistake; your contact details; and your consent to jurisdiction of the appropriate court. If we receive a valid counter-notice we may restore the material unless the complainant files a court action.
4. Repeat infringers
We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.
5. Misuse
Knowingly sending a false notice or counter-notice may result in liability for damages. Only submit a notice if you are the rights holder or authorised to act for them.
6. Copyright agent
