Copyright & DMCA Policy

1. Our posture

RaveMode.tv is operated by Hammer Forge Apps LLC. RAVE//MODE is a platform and set of tools. Streamers choose and perform their own content; the platform does not select, curate, or promote specific musical works. We respond to every valid notice from rights holders, and we terminate repeat infringers.

2. Filing a takedown notice

Send a written notice to the designated agent above that includes:

• Identification of the copyrighted work you claim is infringed;
• The URL(s) of the material on this site (e.g. the channel page or chat message);
• Your contact information, including full name, email, and (if applicable) the rights holder you represent;
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the rights holder, its agent, or the law;
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and you are the rights holder or authorized to act for them;
• Your physical or electronic signature.

Valid notices are actioned promptly: the identified material is removed or access is disabled, and the affected account is notified.

3. Counter-notice

If your material was removed and you believe it was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the same address with the same contact detail, identification of the removed material and where it appeared, a statement under penalty of perjury that you in good faith believe the removal was a mistake, and consent to jurisdiction of your local federal court (or, if outside the US, whatever court would have jurisdiction over the rights holder). Counter-notices are forwarded to the original complainant.

4. Repeat-infringer policy

We track copyright strikes per account. The policy is mechanical and applies to everyone:

• Strike 1 — the material is removed and the account is warned.
• Strike 2 — the account's stream key is revoked (streaming disabled).
• Strike 3 — the account is terminated. Sessions are invalidated and the handle is retired.

Strikes are counted against validated notices only; notices rejected after a successful counter-notice do not count.

5. Streamers

When you create a channel you warrant that you hold the performance rights to the content you stream (see Terms §3). Playing released music in a live stream generally requires licenses from both the composition rights holders (songwriters/publishers) and the recording rights holders (labels) — a venue's live-music license does not carry over to the internet. If you are unsure whether you hold the rights to a track, don't stream it.
