DMCA & Copyright Policy

Last Updated: January 1, 2025  |  Effective Date: January 1, 2025  |  Applies to: www.newsxnow.com

News X Now respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects all users of our website to do the same. This DMCA & Copyright Policy explains how we handle copyright infringement claims, how to submit a valid takedown notice, and how content creators can protect their work. This policy applies to all content published on www.newsxnow.com and should be read alongside our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

We comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512, the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (UK), and the EU Copyright Directive (Directive 2019/790).

1. Our Commitment to Copyright

All original content published on www.newsxnow.com — including articles, photographs, graphics, videos, audio, data compilations, and all other creative works — is the intellectual property of News X Now or our licensed content providers and is protected under applicable copyright law.

We take copyright seriously both as a content creator and as a platform. We do not knowingly publish content that infringes the rights of third parties. All images, photographs, and multimedia used in our editorial content are either created by our staff, licensed from reputable agencies, obtained from verified Creative Commons licensed sources, or used with the explicit permission of the rights holder.

3. What Is the DMCA?

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a United States federal law that provides a legal framework for addressing online copyright infringement. Under the DMCA’s safe harbour provisions (17 U.S.C. § 512), website operators who respond promptly to valid takedown notices are protected from certain types of copyright liability.

Similar mechanisms exist in other jurisdictions, including the UK Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 and the EU Copyright Directive 2019/790. News X Now respects copyright obligations under all applicable laws, not only US law.

4. How to Submit a DMCA Takedown Notice

If you are a copyright owner — or an agent authorised to act on behalf of a copyright owner — and you believe that content on www.newsxnow.com infringes your copyright, you may submit a formal DMCA takedown notice to our Designated Copyright Agent.

To be valid under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your notice must include all of the following:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or the person authorised to act on their behalf.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed. If multiple works are covered by a single notice, you may provide a representative list.
  3. Identification of the infringing material on our website, with sufficient detail to allow us to locate it — please include the full URL of the page where the content appears.
  4. Your contact information: full name, postal address, telephone number, and email address.
  5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of 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 are authorised to act on the copyright owner’s behalf.

Please be aware that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages, including legal costs incurred by the alleged infringer. Only submit a notice if you have a genuine good-faith belief that infringement has occurred. If you are unsure whether material infringes your copyright, we recommend consulting a qualified intellectual property attorney before submitting a notice.

6. Our Response Process

Upon receiving a notice that appears to be a valid DMCA takedown, News X Now will:

  1. Acknowledge receipt of the notice by email.
  2. Review the notice to assess whether it meets the requirements of 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3).
  3. Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content promptly if the notice is valid.
  4. Notify the user who posted the content that it has been removed or disabled, and provide them with a copy of the takedown notice.
  5. Inform that user of their right to submit a counter-notice if they believe the removal was made in error.

We reserve the right to reject notices that are incomplete, clearly erroneous, or submitted in bad faith.

7. How to Submit a Counter-Notice

If you believe that content was wrongly removed or disabled in response to a DMCA takedown notice — for example, because you have the right to use the content or because the notice was submitted in error — you may submit a counter-notice to our Designated Copyright Agent.

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3), a valid counter-notice must include:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the material that has been removed or disabled and its location on our website before it was removed.
  3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  4. Your full name, address, and telephone number.
  5. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if your address is outside the United States, any judicial district in which News X Now may be found).
  6. A statement that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original takedown notice, or their agent.

Send your counter-notice to our Designated Copyright Agent at dmca@newsxnow.com with the subject line “DMCA Counter-Notice”.

Upon receiving a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant and inform them that the removed content may be restored within 10 to 14 business days unless the complainant files a court action to prevent the restoration, as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(2)(B).

8. Fair Use and Fair Dealing

Not all uses of copyrighted material constitute infringement. Before submitting a takedown notice, please consider whether the use of your content may be protected under:

News X Now publishes journalism and may use excerpts of third-party content for the purposes of news reporting, commentary, and criticism in accordance with these exceptions. If you are unsure whether our use of your material constitutes infringement, we recommend seeking independent legal advice before submitting a notice.

9. Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i) and applicable law, News X Now maintains a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts and access privileges of users who are repeat copyright infringers. We track all valid DMCA notices and counter-notices received and take repeated infringement seriously.

Users who repeatedly infringe third-party copyrights may have their accounts suspended or permanently terminated without notice, and may be referred to appropriate legal authorities where warranted.
