Most channels hosted on this website utilize content previously uploaded and hosted on servers not affiliated with Strimm, such as Youtube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, or users’ private servers. If content is not hosted on the Strimm server directly, then we have no means to remove it from the original location. We can only remove the link to the third-party server.

- 8. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
Before you file your copyright infringement notification, please carefully consider whether or not the use of the copyrighted material at issue is protected by doctrines of fair use, fair dealing, or other applicable exceptions to copyright protection.
Under certain circumstances, if you file a DMCA takedown notice when there is no infringing use, you could be liable for costs and attorneys’ fees. If you are unsure whether someone’s use of the material in question amounts to infringement, you should contact an attorney. You may also want to consult publicly available reference materials such as those found at the U.S. Copyright Office (https://www.copyright.gov/).
Procedure for Providing Counter-Notices Pursuant to the DMCA
Counter-notice is a legal request for Strimm to reinstate a video that has been removed for alleged copyright infringement. The process may only be pursued in instances where the upload was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled. It should not be pursued under any other circumstances.
Counter-notices must be submitted by the video’s original uploader or an agent authorized to act on their behalf, such as an attorney. To submit a counter-notice, written notification must be submitted to the following DMCA Designated Agent:
