Copyright & DMCA Takedown Notice and Policy

Cabane à Sang (“CaS”, cabaneasang.tv) is a horror and genre cinema platform where the films are uploaded by the filmmakers themselves. We exhibit work we did not produce, and we cannot independently verify every right behind every frame. So if something here shouldn’t be — a film, an image, a sound — we want to know, and we act fast. No torches and pitchforks required.

This page explains how to ask us to remove material you believe infringes your copyright, how an uploader can respond if their work was removed by mistake, and how we deal with repeat infringers. We operate a notice-and-takedown process consistent with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512.

How to file a takedown notice

If you own a copyright (or are authorized to act for the owner) and believe material on cabaneasang.tv infringes it, send a written notice to our designated agent above. To be valid under § 512(c)(3), your notice must include all of the following:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed (or, if multiple works at our site, a representative list).
  3. Identification of the infringing material and enough information for us to locate it — please include the exact URL(s) on cabaneasang.tv.
  4. Your contact information: name, address, telephone number, and email.
  5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. 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.

You do not need an account or a login to send a notice — email is enough. Please note: under § 512(f), knowingly making a material misrepresentation that material is infringing can make you liable for damages, including costs and lawyers’ fees.

What we do when we receive a valid notice

  • We act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the material identified.
  • We make reasonable efforts to notify the filmmaker who uploaded it that their material was removed.
  • We may remove material on any credible complaint, no questions asked — our filmmaker agreements let us do this, and the filmmaker’s warranties and indemnities survive removal.

Counter-notification (if your work was removed by mistake)

If you are a filmmaker whose material was removed and you believe it was a mistake or misidentification, you may send us a counter-notification under § 512(g). To be valid, it must include:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal.
  3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  4. Your name, address, and telephone number, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Federal District Court for the judicial district where your address is located (or, if outside the U.S., a district where we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the party who filed the original notice (or their agent).

If we receive a valid counter-notification, we may forward it to the original complainant and may restore the material in not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days, unless the complainant first notifies us that they have filed a court action seeking to keep the material down.

Repeat-infringer policy

It is our firm policy to terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers. A filmmaker who repeatedly uploads material that is removed for infringement may have their submissions and account permanently removed, at our discretion. We may also decline future submissions from anyone who abuses this process.

Other regions

We are a Québec, Canada non-profit and our audience is international. Outside the U.S., similar takedown and notice mechanisms (for example, Canada’s notice-and-notice regime) may apply. Whatever your region, the email above reaches us, and we treat every good-faith complaint seriously.
