DMCA & Takedown Policy

How to submit a copyright or trademark takedown notice for content on BlockAI News.

Last updated: May 9, 2026

BlockAI News respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects our readers, contributors, and sources to do the same. If you believe content published on blockainews.com infringes your copyright or another exclusive right, this page explains how to submit a takedown notice.

What This Policy Covers

This policy applies to material published on blockainews.com, including articles, embedded media, screenshots, charts, on-chain visualizations, and cover illustrations. Embedded content hosted by third parties (for example, X/Twitter posts loaded via X) is governed by the host platform’s own takedown process; we will, however, remove or replace embeds in our articles upon a valid request.

How to Submit a Takedown Notice

Under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512), a valid notice must include all of the following:

A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or an authorized agent.
Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, for multiple works, a representative list).
Identification of the allegedly infringing material on blockainews.com, with the URL of the article and a description specific enough for us to locate it.
Your contact information: full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.

Where to Send

Send copyright complaints to our copyright contact:

Email: legal@blockainews.com (preferred — fastest response)
Cc: jason@blockainews.com

We acknowledge receipt promptly and aim to review facially valid notices within two business days. Where a notice is valid, we remove or disable access to the material expeditiously.

What We Do on Receipt

Upon receiving a notice that meets the requirements above, we will review the claim and act on it as described in the section above. We may contact the original author or contributor before acting where time permits.

We may consider fair use, news reporting, commentary, criticism, and other lawful bases in our review. In some cases, we may remove, replace, disable access to, or decline to remove material depending on the circumstances and applicable law.

Counter-Notification

If you believe content of yours was removed in error, you may submit a counter-notification including:

Your physical or electronic signature.
Identification of the removed material and the URL where it appeared.
A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
Your full legal name, mailing address, and telephone number, plus consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your district or, if you are outside the United States, any judicial district in which BlockAI News may be found, and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice or that person’s agent.

After receiving a valid counter-notification, we may restore the removed material not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days later unless we receive notice that the original complainant has filed a court action seeking to restrain the allegedly infringing activity.

Trademarks, Logos, and Impersonation

Trademark complaints, brand-impersonation reports, and requests to remove logos or product images follow the same intake process. Email legal@blockainews.com with a description of the mark, the registration number where applicable, and the URL of the article.

Repeat Infringers

Contributors who repeatedly post material that infringes the rights of others will have their access to BlockAI News terminated.

Misuse of This Process

Submitting a takedown notice in bad faith — for example, to suppress accurate reporting or commentary — may expose the sender to liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). We document and may publicly disclose patterns of abuse.
