DMCA Policy

Our Commitment to Copyright

Let's be real: we built GetMP3.video to be a helpful tool, not a piracy machine. We genuinely respect the hard work that artists, musicians, filmmakers, and content creators put into their work. Copyright exists for good reasons—it protects creators and ensures they can make a living from their craft.

That said, we also recognize that there are many completely legitimate reasons to convert video to audio: extracting audio from your own videos, saving podcasts for offline listening, creating study materials from educational content, or converting videos you've purchased. Our tool serves these legal purposes.

We fully comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and take all copyright concerns seriously. If you're a rights holder with a concern, we want to hear from you.

How Our Service Actually Works

Understanding what we do (and don't do) is important context for any copyright discussion:

Your Responsibilities as a User

Here's the deal: we provide a tool, but you're responsible for how you use it. Think of us like a photocopier—the machine itself isn't illegal, but what you copy might be.

Totally Fine Uses

• Converting videos you created yourself
• Extracting audio from content you've purchased or licensed
• Converting public domain content (copyright has expired)
• Converting Creative Commons content (check the specific license)
• Converting content where the creator explicitly allows downloads
• Personal backups of content you own
• Educational fair use (within legal limits—this varies by country)

Not Okay

• Downloading copyrighted music to avoid paying for it
• Ripping entire albums or discographies
• Distributing or selling converted copyrighted content
• Commercial use of copyrighted material without permission
• Circumventing DRM or access controls

For Copyright Holders: Filing a DMCA Notice

If you're a copyright owner (or authorized to act on behalf of one) and believe our service is being used to infringe your copyrights, we want to know. Here's how to reach us effectively:

What to Include in Your Notice

For us to act on your request, your DMCA notice needs to include:

1. Identify the copyrighted work

   Tell us what content you own. Be specific—song title, artist name, album, video title, etc. If you're reporting multiple works, a representative list is fine.

2. Identify the infringing material

   Since we don't host content, this typically means identifying specific URLs or describing how users are accessing your content through our service.

3. Your contact information

   Full legal name, physical address, phone number, and email. We need to be able to reach you if we have questions.

4. Good faith statement

   A statement that you genuinely believe the use isn't authorized by the copyright owner, their agent, or the law.

5. Accuracy statement

   A statement, under penalty of perjury, that everything in your notice is accurate and that you're authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

6. Your signature

   Physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized representative.

What Happens After You File

Once we receive your notice, here's our process:

Counter-Notifications: If You Think We Made a Mistake

Did we remove something that shouldn't have been removed? Maybe you actually do have the rights, or it's clearly fair use, or the original claim was bogus. You have the right to file a counter-notification.

Your counter-notification must include:

• Your physical or electronic signature
• Identification of the material that was removed and where it was located
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification
• Your name, address, and phone number
• Consent to jurisdiction in federal court (your district or ours)
• Agreement to accept service of process from the original complainant

Send counter-notifications to the same email: [email protected] with subject line "DMCA Counter-Notification".

Repeat Infringer Policy

We maintain a policy to terminate users who repeatedly infringe copyrights. While our service doesn't have traditional "user accounts," we may implement technical measures to prevent repeat abuse from specific sources.

We believe most people want to do the right thing. But if someone is clearly and repeatedly using our service for mass copyright infringement, we'll take action.

A Note About False Claims

Filing a false DMCA notice is perjury—a federal crime. We've seen cases where competitors file bogus claims to harm each other, or where people claim to own things they don't. We take all claims seriously, but we also don't blindly comply with obviously fraudulent notices.

If you're thinking about filing a DMCA notice, make sure you actually own or represent the copyright holder. If you're not sure, talk to a lawyer first.

Questions?

If you have questions about this policy that aren't related to an active takedown request, feel free to reach out. We're real people, and we're happy to clarify anything that's confusing.
