DMCA, Copyright & Likeness Policy

1. Submitting a Copyright Takedown Notice

If you are a copyright owner or an authorized agent, you may request the removal of allegedly infringing content by sending a DMCA notice to:

support@lyrc.studio

Subject line: DMCA Takedown Request

A valid DMCA notice must include all of the following:

• Your legal full name
• Your email address
• Identification of the copyrighted work you claim is being infringed
• Identification of the material you want removed (URL, project ID, screenshot, etc.)
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is unauthorized
• A statement that the information in the notice is accurate
• A declaration under penalty of perjury that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act for them
• Your physical or electronic signature (typing your name counts)

We may request additional information if needed.

2. What Happens After You Submit

Once we receive a valid notice:

• We review the claim
• We remove or disable access to the content
• We notify the affected user
• We may forward the notice to the user who uploaded the content
• We may also share the notice with external databases used to track DMCA claims

If the claim is clearly invalid or incomplete, we may reject it.

3. Submitting a Counter-Notice

If your content was removed and you believe this was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a DMCA counter-notice to:

support@lyrc.studio

Subject line: DMCA Counter-Notice

Your counter-notice must include:

• Your legal full name
• Your email address
• Identification of the content removed (URL, project ID)
• A statement under penalty of perjury that the content was removed due to mistake or misidentification
• Your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal courts in Tennessee
• Your physical or electronic signature

We will forward your counter-notice to the original complainant. If they do not file a court action within 10–14 business days, we may restore your content.

4. Repeat Infringer Policy

LYRC may terminate accounts of users who receive multiple valid DMCA takedown notices.

We determine repeat infringement at our discretion based on:

• Number of notices
• Severity of infringement
• Intention (accidental vs. willful)
• Impact on copyright holder

5. User Responsibility

Users are responsible for ensuring that:

• They own the rights to the audio and visuals they upload
• They have permission to use any copyrighted material
• They do not post or generate infringing content

Using LYRC does not grant users rights to copyrighted materials they don't own.

6. LYRC's Rights

We may remove content at any time, for any reason, including but not limited to:

• DMCA notices
• Violations of our AUP
• Suspected copyright infringement
• Likeness or image rights concerns

We are not liable for loss of data or content as a result of removals.

7. AI-Generated Content & Likeness Takedowns

LYRC uses third-party AI models that can generate content, including content that may depict or resemble real individuals. We acknowledge that:

• The legal landscape around AI-generated content and likeness rights is evolving and remains a gray area
• Laws regarding AI-generated likenesses vary by jurisdiction and are not fully settled
• We take concerns about likeness and image rights seriously

Subject line (if email): Likeness Removal Request

7.2 Our Commitment

We are committed to working proactively with anyone who has concerns about content on our platform:

• If you request removal of content that directly involves you, we will take it down - no questions asked
• We will work with you to address your concerns and make platform changes if needed
• We prefer to resolve issues directly and quickly rather than through legal channels
• All you have to do is reach out to us, and we will work with you

7.3 What to Include in Your Request

To help us process your request quickly, please include:

• Your name and how we can verify your identity (if claiming the content depicts you)
• Description or identification of the content you want removed (screenshot, URL, or description)
• Brief explanation of your concern

We do not require formal legal documentation for straightforward likeness removal requests.

7.4 Platform-Level Changes

If we receive credible requests regarding specific types of AI-generated content or likenesses, we may:

• Remove specific presets or options from our platform
• Add restrictions to certain generation features
• Update our Acceptable Use Policy

We believe in being responsive and responsible, even in legal gray areas.
