DMCA Notice – Copyright Protection
DMCA Notice and copyright protection policy for IPTVBase.de how to file a takedown notice, counter-notification procedure, and our response to repeat infringers.
Quick reference English page
You are reading the English-language entry point to our DMCA notice and copyright-protection procedure for IPTVBase.de. The procedural sections how to file a takedown notice, the form a counter-notification must take, how repeat infringers are handled, and how to reach our designated agent are linked from this page but maintained as a single canonical document at iptvbase.de/dmca to avoid serving two versions of the same legal text. Most rightsholders need only the takedown procedure, which is the first section there.
For practical questions in English about the format of a takedown notice, the response time we commit to, our handling of upstream providers, or anything else that is not strictly part of the formal procedure an email to info@iptvbase.de gets a written reply within 48 hours, in English. We log every takedown decision we take and the upstream escalation that follows, so even practical questions about past decisions can be answered in writing if you reference the original notice. For the formal legal text, please open the canonical DMCA page above.
Two practical notes that come up in almost every rightsholder enquiry. First, IPTVBase.de is a subscription IPTV service; we do not host the underlying broadcast streams ourselves, we deliver them to subscribers from upstream providers under licence arrangements. A takedown therefore reaches the upstream channel chain through our agent, not a single hosted file on our infrastructure. Second, valid notices need to identify the copyrighted work clearly enough for us to act the specific channel name, the date, the time window if applicable, and the geography where you hold the rights. Generic "all my content" notices cannot be processed; we will respond requesting specifics, which adds a round-trip and slows down the process for both sides.
If you are a German rightsholder and would prefer to file your notice in German under the German Urheberrechtsgesetz (UrhG) rather than the DMCA procedure, that is fully acceptable. Send the equivalent information in German to the same email address. The procedural language is English by convention for international cases, but the underlying right is what matters, and we route the case through the appropriate channel DMCA for US-anchored claims, UrhG for German claims, or the corresponding national framework where you are based.
