DMCA Policy

Last updated: October 2, 2026

About this page: it describes how we handle copyright notices under the DMCA. It is a general policy rather than jurisdiction-specific legal advice; independent legal review and a registered DMCA agent are recommended.

Copyright owners in Canada and elsewhere can reach Canada IPTV through the process below. It is based on the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which is the format most rights holders already use.

Required information

Incomplete notices slow everything down, because we have to come back and ask for what is missing. A complete notice includes:

  • Your contact details — name, address, phone, and email
  • The copyrighted work at issue, described clearly enough to identify it
  • The specific material you want removed or disabled, and where it can be found
  • A good-faith statement that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
  • A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that your notice is accurate and that you own the right or are authorized to act for the owner
  • Your physical or electronic signature

Notices missing one or more of these elements may not be treated as valid under the DMCA.

Notices from Canadian rights holders

Canada's Copyright Act uses a "notice-and-notice" system rather than the DMCA's notice-and-takedown. We accept notices in either format. If you send one under the Canadian system, include the same core information listed on this page so we can identify the material and respond.

Submitting a notice

All copyright notices go through our contact form. Begin your message with "Copyright / DMCA" so it is handled by the right person.

How we handle notices

  1. We confirm receipt and check the notice is complete.
  2. We locate the material you identified.
  3. If the notice is valid, the material is removed or access to it is disabled.
  4. Where appropriate, we inform the account holder concerned and explain how to file a counter-notice.

If you believe a removal was a mistake

The DMCA gives you the right to respond. A counter-notice sent through our contact form needs:

  1. Your signature (physical or electronic)
  2. A description of the removed material and its former location
  3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, of your good-faith belief that it was removed by mistake or misidentification
  4. Your name, address, and phone number, plus your consent to the jurisdiction of the relevant federal district court and agreement to accept service of process from the complainant

Once forwarded, the complainant has 10 business days to notify us of a lawsuit; otherwise the material may be reinstated in 10 to 14 business days.

A note on accuracy

Notices and counter-notices are legal statements. Knowingly false claims can lead to liability for damages under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), so only file one if you are confident of the facts.

Account termination

We keep a record of valid notices. Where an account is repeatedly associated with infringement, we may terminate it in appropriate circumstances.

Policy updates

We revise this page when needed. The current version always applies, and its date is shown above.
