DMCA / Copyright Policy

PaidTabs is an online marketplace where music transcription Providers create and sell their original transcription work as digital products. All content is accessible only through paid transactions. PaidTabs does not exercise editorial control over Provider-created products and operates as a hosting intermediary.

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.

Copyright ownership can involve multiple rights and parties (e.g., publishers, administrators, or authorized representatives). If you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner, you may submit a notice.

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. Our Designated Agent is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office (Registration No: DMCA-1063735). 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. We may share the notice with the affected user, our service providers, and as required by law. If we publish any notice information, we will redact personal contact details.

In addition to the DMCA, PaidTabs complies with applicable EU law, including the notice-and-action obligations under the E-Commerce Directive (2000/31/EC). As an online marketplace and hosting intermediary, PaidTabs acts expeditiously to remove or disable access to content upon obtaining actual knowledge of infringement, regardless of the jurisdiction of the rights holder.
