DMCA Notice - Beat Break Radio

Beat Break Radio is written by people who spent years behind a mixing desk and a transmitter, and we treat intellectual property the same way we treat gain staging: carefully, and without guesswork. That applies to the plugins, sample libraries, stems, and written material we cover as much as to anything else. If you hold a copyright and believe this site reproduces your work without permission, send a complete notice and we will act on it. No lawyer is required — but the specifics are.

What a Takedown Notice Has to Contain

Under 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3), a notice must carry all six elements below. Miss one and the notice can be legally insufficient, so read it through before sending.

Your identity and a way to reach you. Full legal name, postal address, phone number, and an email address where we can reply.
The work you say is being infringed. Identify it concretely — a track title, a sample pack, a preset bank, an article, a graphic. A registration number helps if you have one, though it is not required.
The exact location of the infringing material. Give the URL for each page or file involved. “Somewhere on your site” cannot be acted on; we cannot pull down what we cannot locate.
A good faith statement. State plainly that you believe the use is not authorized by the rights holder, its agent, or the law.
A statement under penalty of perjury. Confirm that the details in your notice are accurate and that you own the work or are authorized to act for the owner.
Your signature. Physical or electronic — typing your name at the close of the email is normally accepted.

Counter-Notice: When a Takedown Was a Mistake

If something of yours was removed and you believe the complaint was wrong — a misidentified stem, a license you actually hold, a fair use we should have defended — you may file a counter-notice. Include your contact information, the material that was removed and where it previously appeared, a statement under penalty of perjury that the removal resulted from mistake or misidentification, and your consent to the jurisdiction of a federal district court for your address (or, from outside the US, any district where we can be found). We forward it to the original complainant. Absent notice of a court action from them, we may restore the material after 10 to 14 business days.
