DMCA Policy & Takedown

Designated copyright agent

Send takedown notices to our designated agent. All notices are reviewed by a human within one business day.

• Email (preferred): sean@lettucestream.com
• Postal: Lettuce Stream, Attn: DMCA Agent, c/o Legal, United States
• Use the email address above for takedown notices and counter-notices.

What a valid notice must contain

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), a takedown notice must include each of the following. Incomplete notices may be rejected.

1. 1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or an authorized agent.
2. 2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
3. 3. The exact URL(s) on Lettuce Stream where the infringing material is located (e.g., a Lettuce Clip URL, lettuce.id page, or stream replay).
4. 4. Your contact information — name, address, phone number, email.
5. 5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the owner, its agent, or the law.
6. 6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Our takedown workflow

This is exactly what happens after a notice is received:

Counter-notice (for uploaders)

If you believe your content was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3) it must include:

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the material removed and the URL where it appeared.
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
• Your name, address, phone number, and a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, if outside the U.S., for any judicial district in which Lettuce Stream may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the claimant.

Send counter-notices to sean@lettucestream.com. We will forward valid counter-notices to the original claimant and restore the content after the statutory waiting period unless the claimant files a lawsuit and notifies us.

Repeat-infringer policy

Lettuce Stream may suspend or terminate users who repeatedly upload, publish, stream, or distribute infringing content. This policy applies across every Lettuce surface — Lettuce Stream, Lettuce Clips, Lettuce Music, lettuce.id pages, Lettuce Mail, and any connected channels.

We track and enforce strikes automatically for every verified DMCA takedown that is not successfully counter-noticed. Strikes expire after twelve months of clean activity.

For each verified notice we retain: user ID, content/clip ID, notice date, claimant identity, action taken, whether a counter-notice was filed, and the user's running strike count. This record is the basis for enforcement and is available to law-enforcement under lawful process.

Misrepresentation & abuse

Knowingly material misrepresentations in a notice or counter-notice — including bad-faith takedowns used to silence lawful speech — may subject the sender to liability for damages under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). Lettuce Stream may suspend accounts found to be abusing this process.
