DMCA
This DMCA page explains how copyright concerns are handled on PikaShow. DMCA is short for the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, a United States law that sets out a process for copyright owners to ask a website to remove material they believe infringes their rights. This site respects copyright, and it will consider a properly made notice in good faith. This page also explains what this site does and does not host, so that a notice can be directed to the right place.
What This Site Hosts
This site hosts only its own written guides. The articles, tables, and frequently asked questions on the home page, the Download page, and the device pages for Android, PC, and iOS were written for this site. The logo used on the site was supplied by the site owner. This site does not host films, television programmes, music, or other video files. It does not host the PikaShow APK file, and its download buttons are placeholders marked with a hash, because no download file has been supplied for this build.
Because this site does not host video, a complaint about a film or programme that appears inside the PikaShow app cannot be fixed by removing something from this site. The app is a separate third-party app, and the streams it shows come from services that this site does not control. A rights holder who is concerned about content inside the app should direct the complaint to the app developer or to the service that hosts the content, as well as raising any concern about the wording on this site through the process below.
What Counts as a Copyright Concern Here
A copyright concern on this site would normally relate to the written content or to an image used on a page. Examples include a passage copied from another site without permission, a photograph used without a licence, or a logo used in a way that suggests an endorsement that does not exist. The guides on this site are written from scratch and are checked against that standard, but mistakes can happen, and a rights holder who spots one should be able to raise it clearly.
Not every complaint is a copyright complaint. A disagreement with a guide, a view that an app should not be described, or a concern about the app itself is not resolved through a DMCA notice. Those matters are better raised through the Contact page, with a clear description of the concern. The About page explains the purpose of this site, and the Disclaimer page explains the limits of the information given here.
How to Send a DMCA Notice
A DMCA notice should be sent in writing and should include enough detail for the site owner to find and check the material concerned. A vague complaint that does not identify the page, the passage, or the image will be hard to act on. The notice should include each of the following, as far as possible.
- Identification of the work. Describe the copyrighted work that is said to have been infringed, with enough detail to identify it. If the work is a book, an article, or an image, give its title and, where helpful, a link to the original.
- Identification of the material on this site. Give the full web address of the page on pikashow.onl, and describe the passage, image, or other material concerned. A quotation or a screenshot reference helps the site owner find the exact item.
- Contact details. Give a name and a way to be contacted about the notice. No email address is published on this site, because none has been supplied for publication, so the Contact page shows a marked placeholder. A notice should state the contact details clearly within the message itself, so that it can be answered.
- A statement of good faith. State that you believe, in good faith, that the use of the material is not authorised by the copyright owner, by the owner’s agent, or by the law.
- A statement of accuracy. State that the information in the notice is accurate, and that you are the copyright owner or are authorised to act for the owner.
- A signature. Include a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or of a person authorised to act for the owner.
Notices that are incomplete may still be considered, but the site owner may need to ask for the missing details before acting. A notice that is knowingly false can have legal consequences, so a notice should only be sent by, or for, the owner of the rights concerned.
What Happens After a Notice
When a notice is received, the site owner will check whether the material identified is on this site, whether it matches the work described, and whether the use is authorised or is fair use. If the material is found to infringe, it will be removed or changed promptly. If the material is the site’s own original writing, or if the use is clearly permitted, the site owner will explain that position and keep a record of the notice and the response.
Removal from this site does not remove the same material from other sites, and it does not affect the app itself. If a notice concerns a link on this site to another website, the site owner will check the link and remove it if the linked material is clearly infringing and the link is part of the problem. Links to the site’s own device and legal pages, such as the Terms and the Privacy Policy, are not infringing links.
Counter-Notices
If material is removed following a notice, and the person who posted or supplied that material believes the removal was a mistake, a counter-notice may be sent. A counter-notice should identify the material that was removed, give the web address where it appeared, and state, under penalty of perjury, that the material was removed by mistake or because of a misidentification. It should also give contact details and consent to the jurisdiction of the relevant court. The site owner will consider a counter-notice in the same careful way as an original notice, and will restore material where that is the right outcome.
Counter-notices should only be sent where there is a genuine basis for them. Sending a counter-notice for material that is clearly infringing will not help, and it may expose the sender to legal risk. Where the position is unclear, it is better to seek independent legal advice before sending either a notice or a counter-notice.
Repeat Concerns and the App
This site does not run a service where users upload content, so there is no user-upload system to suspend. Comments are the only place where a visitor can add text, and comments are moderated. A comment that copies a large passage from another site without permission will be removed when it is spotted or when it is raised through the process on this page. The Blogs section, when it opens in a later phase, will follow the same rule: only original writing for this site will be published there.
The app itself is outside the scope of this page. If a rights holder believes the app infringes their rights, the complaint should be made to the party that distributes or hosts the app or the content, not only to this guide site. This site will still consider any notice that relates to its own pages, and it will remove or change its own material where a notice is properly made out.
