Copyright & Takedown Policy

This website is operated from Germany and complies with the copyright laws of the European Union, including the Digital Services Act (DSA) and applicable German copyright legislation (UrhG/UrhDaG). We have implemented a “notice and takedown” procedure (also known as “notice-and-action” under EU law) for handling copyright infringement claims.

While we are not subject to the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), we recognize it as an international standard. For the convenience of copyright holders, we accept infringement notifications that follow a DMCA-style format.
