DMCA & Copyright Policy

Last Updated: August 2025

We at bollyflix.ca strictly respect copyright laws and comply with the Copyright Act, 1957, the Information Technology Act, 2000, and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). This page explains how we operate, the sources of our content, our compliance measures, and the steps for rights holders to contact us.

1. Nature of Our Work

Our website is a movie review and information platform. We DO NOT host, upload, or distribute any full movies, TV shows, or copyrighted video/audio files. Our primary activities include:

  • Writing *original reviews* of movies and shows.
  • Providing *official cast, crew, and storyline information*.
  • Sharing trailers embedded from *official YouTube channels*.
  • Using *posters and images* fetched from the TMDB API with proper attribution.
  • Including links to *official streaming platforms* (if applicable).

2. Our Workflow & Compliance

We follow a strict process to ensure compliance with copyright laws:

  1. Data Collection: All movie metadata (title, release date, cast, synopsis) is automatically fetched via The Movie Database (TMDB) API, which allows legal usage with attribution.
  2. Image Usage: Posters and still images are fetched only from TMDB or other licensed sources. Each image is used with credit to the original copyright owner.
  3. Original Writing: All reviews, descriptions, and ratings are written by our team. We do not copy text from other websites.
  4. No Piracy: We never upload or link to pirated content, torrents, or unauthorized streaming sites.
  5. Credit: Every movie page includes proper credit to the production house, distributor, and copyright owner.

3. Fair Use Policy

We believe our use of certain copyrighted materials qualifies as Fair Use under Section 52 of the Indian Copyright Act, 1957 and Section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Act because:

  • The material is used for *review, criticism, and commentary*.
  • The purpose is *informational and educational*, not commercial piracy.
  • The usage is *transformative*, as it adds new meaning, analysis, or context.
  • Only *low-resolution promotional material* is used, not full-length content.

4. DMCA Takedown Procedure

If you believe your copyrighted work has been used without permission, please send a DMCA notice to:

Email: mdabrar85852@gmail.com

Include the following:

  1. Your contact information.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work.
  3. Exact URL(s) of the allegedly infringing material.
  4. A statement of good faith belief that the use is unauthorized.
  5. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

5. Our Response to DMCA Notices

We respond quickly to valid DMCA notices. If content violates copyright, we remove it immediately. If the content is within Fair Use or properly licensed, we provide proof and clarification.

6. No Piracy Policy

We are against piracy in any form. Our team actively checks and removes any material that may unintentionally violate copyright laws.
