Filmion respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of the Service to do the same. This page describes the procedure for submitting a copyright infringement notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512, and the procedure for submitting a counter-notice if you believe content of yours was removed in error.
This DMCA Procedure is referenced from + incorporated into the Filmion Terms of Service and the Filmion Acceptable Use Policy.
1. Designated Agent
Filmion's Designated Agent to receive notifications of claimed copyright infringement under the DMCA is:
DMCA Designated Agent
Tiago Rena (Filmion.ai)
c/o DMCA Agent
Email: dmca@filmion.ai
U.S. Copyright Office registration: pending. Until registration is confirmed, the email channel above is the operative takedown address. Filmion acknowledges that without active U.S. Copyright Office registration, Filmion cannot rely on the safe-harbor provisions of 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(2); we will register the Designated Agent before scaling acceptance of user-uploaded content.
Per Rule 38 of Filmion's operating principles, this page is explicit about our compliance status. The above admission is part of our commitment to operate honestly: we will not falsely claim safe-harbor protection we have not yet earned.
2. Filing a DMCA Takedown Notice
If you believe that material on the Filmion platform infringes a copyright that you own or are authorized to enforce, you may submit a written notice to our Designated Agent at the address above.
2.1 Required statutory elements (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)(A))
To be effective under the DMCA, your notice must include ALL of the following six elements:
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed. If multiple works are at a single online site, a representative list of such works is acceptable.
- Identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to permit Filmion to locate the material (URL of the page on filmion.ai, or asset identifier).
- Contact information reasonably sufficient to permit Filmion to contact you: your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf.
Notices that fail to include all six elements may not be actionable. Filmion reserves the right to require resubmission with the missing elements before processing.
2.2 How to submit
Email your complete notice to dmca@filmion.ai. An electronic signature in the email (your typed full name on the signature line) satisfies element 6.
For Take It Down Act of 2025 notifications (non-consensual intimate imagery), use takedown@filmion.ai instead — that channel operates on a 48-hour federal-mandated response window separate from this DMCA procedure.
2.3 Response time
Filmion responds to DMCA notices within a reasonable time consistent with the volume and complexity of notices received. We aim to acknowledge receipt within five (5) business days and to take responsive action (content removal pending review, counter-notice request, or denial of action with verbatim reason) within fourteen (14) business days.
3. Submitting a Counter-Notice
If you believe that content of yours was removed (or access to it disabled) as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material, you may submit a counter-notice to our Designated Agent.
3.1 Required statutory elements (17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3))
To be effective, a counter-notice must include ALL of:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
- Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which Filmion may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the takedown notice or an agent of that person.
3.2 Counter-notice process
Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, Filmion will provide a copy to the original complainant and inform them that we will replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it in ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days, unless the complainant notifies us that they have filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the user from engaging in infringing activity.
4. Repeat Infringer Policy
Per 17 U.S.C. § 512(i)(1)(A), Filmion has adopted and reasonably implemented a policy that provides for the termination of subscribers and account holders who are repeat infringers.
For the purposes of this policy, a "repeat infringer" is a user who has been the subject of three (3) or more confirmed DMCA takedown notices within a twelve (12)-month period that Filmion has acted upon. Filmion retains discretion to terminate accounts for fewer violations in appropriate circumstances (e.g., a single egregious violation).
Terminated users may not create new accounts on the Service or use the Service via a billing relationship associated with their previously-terminated account.
5. Misrepresentation Warning
Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents either (a) that material is infringing or (b) that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, the copyright owner or copyright owner's authorized licensee, or Filmion.
Do not file a DMCA notice or counter-notice unless you have a good-faith belief in the truth of your assertions.
6. Other Reporting Channels
DMCA is for copyright infringement specifically. For other types of reports, use the appropriate channel:
- General abuse / AUP violations: abuse@filmion.ai
- Non-consensual intimate imagery (Take It Down Act 48-hour channel): takedown@filmion.ai

- Security vulnerability reports: security@filmion.ai
7. Changes to this Procedure
We may update this DMCA Procedure from time to time. The Designated Agent registration with the U.S. Copyright Office is a planned next step; when it occurs, this page will be updated with the official registration number and the agent's mailing address.
