DMCA Copyright Policy

Our commitment

Beam Networks Stream ("Beam Networks") respects the intellectual-property rights of others and expects our users to do the same. We comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) and respond to notices of claimed infringement in accordance with its procedures.

This policy describes how to send us a takedown notice, how our customers can file a counter-notice, and how we handle repeat infringers.

Designated agent

Beam Networks Stream is in the process of registering its designated agent with the U.S. Copyright Office pursuant to § 512(c)(2). In the interim, please direct all DMCA takedown notices to:

• Email (preferred): dmca@beamnetworks.stream
• Service provider: Beam Networks Stream

We will respond to valid notices in accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512 within the statutory time frame. The full designated-agent record — including the agent's name, mailing address, and Copyright Office registration — will be published here and at dmca.copyright.gov upon completion of registration.

How to send a notice of claimed infringement

Under § 512(c)(3)(A), a valid notice must include all of the following. If any element is missing, your notice may not be "substantially compliant" and we may not be required to act on it — though we will try to respond with a note explaining what is missing.

1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right being infringed.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed. If multiple works are at a single site, a representative list is acceptable.
3. Identification of the allegedly infringing material and information reasonably sufficient for us to locate it — ideally the specific stream URL, stream ID, or account involved.
4. Your contact information: full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email.
5. A good-faith belief statement: "I have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law."
6. A statement under penalty of perjury that the information in the notice is accurate, and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Misuse warning. Under § 512(f), anyone who knowingly materially misrepresents that content is infringing — or that it was removed in error — may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. Please only send notices for content you actually have the right to assert.

What happens after we receive a valid notice

1. We acknowledge the notice, usually within 1 business day.
2. We act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material. For a live stream, that means stopping the stream and restricting access to recorded segments.
3. We forward the notice to the customer who posted the content, along with instructions for filing a counter-notice if they believe the takedown was in error.
4. We record the event in our internal DMCA log (notice, takedown action, timestamp, and customer notified).

Counter-notice procedure

If you are a Beam Networks customer and you believe the content we took down was not infringing — for example, because you have a license, the content is fair use, or the notice identified the wrong material — you may submit a counter-notice under § 512(g)(3).

A counter-notice must include:

1. Your signature (physical or electronic).
2. Identification of the material that was removed and its location before removal.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your contact information: full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email.
5. A statement of consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court in the judicial district where your address is located (or, if outside the US, any judicial district in which we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice, or their agent.

Send counter-notices to: dmca@beamnetworks.stream

What happens after a valid counter-notice:

1. We forward the counter-notice to the original complainant.
2. If the complainant does not file a lawsuit seeking a court order within 10 to 14 business days, we will restore the removed material (or stop disabling access to it).
3. If the complainant files suit and notifies us, we will keep the material disabled pending resolution.

Repeat-infringer policy

In accordance with § 512(i), we have a policy for terminating the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.

Our rule: We operate a three-strike policy. Three valid DMCA notices upheld against a single customer account, in any rolling 12-month period, will result in termination of that account. We may terminate sooner in egregious cases (for example, a single deliberate mass infringement).

Strikes are assessed against notices that are substantially compliant, not withdrawn, and not counter-noticed successfully. Counter-notices resolved in the customer's favor do not count as strikes.

What we cannot do

• We cannot evaluate whether a use is "fair use" or whether a license applies. Those are legal questions best resolved between the rights-holder and our customer, or in court.
• We cannot restore content that was removed by the customer themselves, only content removed by us in response to a DMCA notice.
• We cannot act on notices that do not satisfy § 512(c)(3)(A). We will try to tell you what is missing so you can re-send.
