DMCA & Copyright Policy

Last updated: 31 May 2026

EightK Germany Europe ("EightK", "we", "us") respects the intellectual-property rights of others and expects users of our service to do the same. This policy explains our role, how copyright owners can notify us of allegedly infringing material, and how we handle such notices.

1. Our role

EightK operates as a streaming and hosting technology service. We provide the technical infrastructure and software that allow account holders to access and transmit audiovisual streams. We do not create, produce, upload or curate the underlying content. Account holders and end users are solely responsible for the content they select, access, transmit and view through the service, and for ensuring that their use complies with the laws and licensing requirements applicable to them.

Because we act as an intermediary technical service, we rely on rights holders to identify specific material they believe to be infringing so that we can act on it under the procedure below.

2. Filing a copyright notice

If you are a copyright owner, or authorised to act on behalf of one, and you believe that material accessible through our service infringes your copyright, please send us a written notice that includes all of the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorised to act on their behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, if multiple works, a representative list).
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, with enough detail (e.g. the channel, stream name, or other identifier) for us to locate it.
4. Your contact information — name, postal address, telephone number and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act on their behalf.

3. Where to send a notice

Send copyright notices to our designated agent:

4. What we do with a valid notice

On receipt of a notice that substantially complies with section 2, we will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the identified material. Where appropriate we will notify the relevant account holder of the action taken and provide a copy of the notice. We may, in our discretion, suspend or terminate the account associated with the material.

5. Counter-notification

If you are an account holder and you believe material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the agent above containing:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location at which it appeared before removal.
3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, postal address, telephone number, and a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the appropriate courts and to accept service of process from the complaining party.

On receipt of a valid counter-notice we may restore the material in line with the applicable legal procedure unless the original complainant pursues a legal remedy.

6. Repeat infringers

It is our policy to suspend or terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are the subject of repeated valid copyright notices.

7. Misrepresentations

Be aware that under the DMCA (and equivalent EU provisions) any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing — or that it was removed or disabled by mistake — may be liable for damages. Please ensure your notice or counter-notice is accurate before sending it.

8. Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision.

Questions about this policy can be raised via our contact page. For copyright notices, please use the designated agent details in section 3 rather than live chat.
