> How to file a takedown notice, how to fight one, and what happens to repeat infringers.

01 Policy
Azrael Music respects copyright and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512). If you believe content hosted on this platform infringes your copyright — for example, an uploaded reference track or a published song that copies your protected recording — send a takedown notice to our designated agent and we will respond expeditiously.
Note: AI-generated tracks made from a user's own lyrics are original works. Sounding similar to an artist or genre is not infringement; copying a protected recording or composition is.
02 Filing a takedown notice
Email [email protected]with the subject "DMCA Notice" and include all of the following (required by § 512(c)(3)):
- > identification of the copyrighted work you claim is infringed;
- > the URL(s) of the material on azraelai.com you want removed;
- > your name, address, telephone number, and email;
- > a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
- > a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act for them;
- > your physical or electronic signature.
Incomplete notices may be rejected. Knowingly false claims create liability under § 512(f) — do not weaponize takedowns against music you merely dislike.
03 What we do with a valid notice
We remove or disable access to the identified material promptly, notify the user who posted it, and provide them a copy of the notice. The user's credits and account are otherwise unaffected unless they are a repeat infringer.
04 Counter-notification
If your content was removed and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, email a counter-notice to [email protected] including: identification of the removed material and its former URL; a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the removal was a mistake; your name, address, and phone; consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or any U.S. federal court if outside the U.S.); and your signature. If the claimant does not notify us of a court action within 10–14 business days, we restore the material.
05 Repeat infringers
Accounts that accumulate multiple valid, uncontested takedowns are terminated. This is the one moderation rule with a strike system, because the law requires it.
06 Designated agent
DMCA Agent, Azrael Music — [email protected]. For everything that is not a copyright matter, see the Content Policy.
