HulkShare Anti-Piracy Measures

We believe it is important to help protect the rights that artists have for their original and licensed works, the following information outlines the anti-piracy measures we have in place:

1/ Partnered with AudibleMagic: We are currently implementing AudibleMagic and encourage all publishers to register their content in order to have their content automatically recognised and blocked from being published by unauthorized persons.

2/ AudibleMagic Fingerprinting Technology: Once implementation is complete ALL tracks that are subject to a DMCA take-down will be fingerprinted in order to prevent the file from being uploaded by anybody ever again. It is not necessary to register with AudibleMagic to receive this repeat infringement protection, it is automatic upon first take-down, however, we urge you to register & not have a take-down in the first place.

3/ Direct take-down accounts are available for bona fide copyright holders and/or their DMCA agency, these provide direct access to our admin take-down tool & avoid the short delay involved in the notice process, please email dmcahulkshare@gmail.com to apply.

4/ All legally-compliant DMCA notices are actioned within 24 hours of receipt, if you are unsure of the legal requirements, we provide a check list below to assist you in sending a legally-compliant notice first time.

5/ All uploaded files are private by default and uploaders are required to complete a 2 step agreement process before they publish files publicly, this process has accompanying text that makes it perfectly clear they must have right to distribute.

6/ Accounts belonging to repeat infringers have their ability to publish permanently removed, they are forever limited to only private use of our service.

COPYRIGHT VIOLATIONS - DMCA TAKEDOWN POLICY

It is our policy to honor all takedown requests that comply with the requirements of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. and other applicable intellectual property laws.

Also, before proceeding please understand that should you knowingly materially misrepresent that a product or activity is infringing your copyrights, you may be held liable for damages. In a recent case, a company was held liable for over $100,000 for seeking removal of content that was protected by the fair use doctrine. The details can be found at http://www.onlinepolicy.org/action/legpolicy/opg_v_diebold/.
