Copyright & DMCA Policy

XSCN respects intellectual property and expects the people on it to do the same. If you believe content on XSCN infringes your copyright, here's exactly how to tell us — and how we respond.

Last updated: June 2026

The short version: XSCN is a platform — most content (listings, posts, reels, videos, profiles) is created by users, not by us. We comply with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA, 17 U.S.C. § 512). Send us a valid notice and we'll promptly remove or disable the material; we terminate repeat infringers.

1. Reporting copyright infringement (takedown notice)

If you are a copyright owner (or authorized to act for one) and believe material on XSCN infringes your work, send a written notice to our Designated Copyright Agent (below) that includes all of the following, as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3):

Your physical or electronic signature.
Identification of the copyrighted work you claim was infringed (or a representative list, if multiple).
Identification of the infringing material and enough information for us to locate it — a direct link, listing ID, username, or screenshot.
Your contact information: name, mailing address, telephone number, and email.
A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Incomplete notices may delay our response. We may forward a copy of your notice (including your identity) to the user who posted the material.

Designated Copyright Agent

2. What happens next

When we receive a valid notice, we will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the material, and we'll notify the user who posted it that it was taken down because of a copyright complaint. We track these actions.

3. Counter-notification

If you posted material that was removed and you believe that was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the agent above containing, per 17 U.S.C. § 512(g):

Your physical or electronic signature.
Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal.
A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your district (or, if outside the U.S., any district in which XSCN may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the party who filed the original notice.

If we receive a valid counter-notice, we may restore the material in 10–14 business days unless the original complainant notifies us they have filed a court action seeking to keep it down.

4. Repeat infringers

We will, in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, disable and/or terminate the accounts of users who are repeat copyright infringers. Maintaining a usable account on XSCN means not repeatedly posting material that infringes others' rights.

5. Misuse warning

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing — or that it was removed by mistake — may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. Don't file a notice or counter-notice in bad faith.

6. Trademark & other IP

For trademark, right-of-publicity, or other (non-copyright) intellectual-property concerns, contact us at [email protected] with "IP Complaint" in the subject and a description of the issue.
