Copyright & DMCA

How this service relates to copyrighted work
This site does not host, store, index or distribute video. It holds no library and offers no search. When you paste a link, the server reads what the source platform publishes at that address and passes it to your browser. Nothing is retained afterwards.
Because of that, there is no catalogue of content here to remove. The material lives on the platform you linked to, and that is where a takedown has effect.
Downloading is your decision
A tool that can save a video can be used well or badly, and which of those it is depends entirely on the person using it. Saving your own upload, an openly licensed clip, or something the rights holder has cleared is fine. Saving someone else's work to repost, monetise or redistribute is not, and it is likely to breach both the platform's terms and copyright law.
The terms of use set out this responsibility in full, and it rests with the person making the download.
If you are a rights holder
Since no copies are kept here, the most effective route is almost always a notice to the platform hosting the video, which can remove it at the source:
- YouTube and Google, through the YouTube copyright complaint form.
- Facebook and Instagram, through Meta's intellectual property reporting forms.
- TikTok, through its copyright infringement report form.
If you believe this service is nonetheless being used in a way that infringes your rights and you would like it to stop, send a notice including all of the following:
- Your name, organisation and contact details.
- Identification of the work you say is being infringed.
- The exact URLs involved.
- A statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorised by you, your agent or the law.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are the rights holder or authorised to act for them.
- Your physical or electronic signature.
Complete notices are reviewed and acted on promptly, which may include blocking specific links or domains from being processed.
Counter-notice
If access was restricted because of a notice and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you may send a counter-notice with your contact details, the material affected, and a statement under penalty of perjury explaining the basis for your belief.
Repeat infringers
Access to this service is withdrawn from anyone who repeatedly uses it to infringe the rights of others.
