ARE YOU A COPYRIGHT HOLDER?
You hold the copyright to a song if (a) you composed it and retained ownership of copyright, or (b) it’s in the public domain, you arranged it and retained ownership of copyright, or (c) you acquired the copyright from a previous owner. Note that you are NOT the copyright holder if you performed this song, or if you arranged a song that’s already copyrighted.
It is our policy to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") and other applicable intellectual property laws. Responses may include removing material claimed to be the subject of infringing activity on PaidTabs and/or terminating a user's account. If we take such measures, we will make a good-faith attempt to contact the sender who transmitted the content so that he or she may make a counter notification pursuant to sections 512(g)(2) and (3) of the DMCA. It is our policy to document all notices of alleged infringement on which we act. As with all legal notices, a copy of the notice may be sent to one or more third parties who may make it available to the public.
