Digital Studio Copyright Policy
Last updated: September 12, 2019
The Class LLC (“The Class”) respects the intellectual property of others, and we ask our users to do the same. Each user is responsible for ensuring that they have the rights to all materials they upload to the “Digital Studio Service,” which includes the Digital Studio website (http://digitalstudio.theclass.com) and applications for mobile and connected TV devices that feature our users’ content.
The Class will expeditiously remove materials from the Digital Studio Service in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512 (the “DMCA”) if properly notified that the materials infringe a third party’s copyright. In addition, The Class may, in appropriate circumstances, terminate the accounts of repeat copyright infringers.

Please note that we will forward any valid counter-notification we receive to the person who submitted the original DMCA notice. That person may elect to file a copyright infringement action against you. If we do not receive notice that a lawsuit has been filed within ten (10) business days after we provide notice of your counter-notification, we reserve the right to restore the removed materials. Until that time, your materials will remain removed.
Repeat Infringer Policy
The Class will terminate user accounts that have been the subject of three (3) separate valid DMCA notices that are not withdrawn or subject to a counter-notification that results in the materials being restored. The Class reserves the right to terminate user accounts that are the subject of less than three (3) DMCA notices in appropriate circumstances, such as where the user has a history of violating or willfully disregarding The Class’ Terms of Service.
Warning
Please make sure that all of the information you provide is accurate. UNDER THE DMCA, ANY PERSON WHO KNOWINGLY MATERIALLY MISREPRESENTS THAT MATERIAL OR ACTIVITY IS INFRINGING OR WAS REMOVED OR DISABLED BY MISTAKE OR MISIDENTIFICATION MAY BE SUBJECT TO LIABILITY.
If we request additional information necessary to make your DMCA notice or counter-notification complete, please provide that information promptly. If you fail to comply with all of the requirements set forth herein, your DMCA notice or counter-notification may not be processed.
Disclosures
The Class may disclose any communications concerning DMCA notices, counter-notifications, or other complaints of rights violations with third parties, including the affected users, the rights holders, and third party databases that collect information on DMCA notices.
