Last Updated: January 8, 2026


Proud American Studios LLC (“Proud American Studios,” “PAS,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of our websites, apps, community, and streaming services (collectively, the “Services”) to do the same.

This DMCA & Copyright Policy explains how copyright owners can report alleged infringement on the Services and how we may respond, consistent with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), 17 U.S.C. § 512.

1. COPYRIGHTED CONTENT ON OUR SERVICES

All original content created by or for Proud American Studios—including videos, audio, images, text, graphics, logos, and other materials—is protected by copyright and other intellectual‑property laws and is owned by or licensed to Proud American Studios.

You may not reproduce, distribute, publicly display, or create derivative works from Proud American Studios content except as expressly allowed in our Terms and Conditions or with our prior written permission.

Users may also upload or share content in community areas or other interactive features. Users are responsible for ensuring they have the necessary rights to any content they post.

2. DESIGNATED COPYRIGHT AGENT

In accordance with the DMCA, Proud American Studios designates the following agent to receive notifications of claimed copyright infringement:

Copyright Agent
Proud American Studios LLC
2202 N. West Shore Blvd, Suite 200
Tampa, FL 33607, USA
Email: [email protected]

Only DMCA notices and counter‑notices should be sent to this address. Other inquiries (for example, general support) should be directed to our regular contact channels.

3. HOW TO SUBMIT A DMCA TAKEDOWN NOTICE

If you are a copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of a copyright owner and believe that content on the Services infringes your copyright, you may submit a written DMCA notice to our Copyright Agent.

To be valid, your notice must include all of the following information:

  1. Your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.

  2. A clear identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed, or, if multiple works are covered by a single notice, a representative list of such works.

  3. A description of the material you claim is infringing and information reasonably sufficient for us to locate the material on the Services (for example, the specific URL(s) or the exact location within the app).

  4. A statement that you have a good‑faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.

  5. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

  6. Your physical or electronic signature (for example, typing your full legal name at the end of the notice).

Notices that do not contain all required information may not receive a response.

4. OUR RESPONSE TO DMCA NOTICES

Upon receiving a valid DMCA notice, we may take one or more of the following actions:

  • Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material.

  • Notify the user who posted the material that we have removed or disabled access to it.

  • Provide the user with a copy of the DMCA notice and information about how to file a counter‑notice, if appropriate.

  • In the case of repeat infringers or serious violations, suspend or terminate the user’s account and/or access to the Services.

We are not required to host or continue to host any content and may remove content at our discretion.

5. HOW TO SUBMIT A DMCA COUNTER‑NOTICE

If your content has been removed or disabled due to a DMCA notice and you believe this removal was a mistake or that you are authorized to use the material, you may send a written DMCA counter‑notice to our Copyright Agent.

To be valid, your counter‑notice must include all of the following information:

  1. Your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.

  2. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location where the material appeared before it was removed or disabled (for example, the specific URL(s) or in‑app location).

  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 of the material to be removed or disabled.

  4. 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 Proud American Studios may be found) and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notice or that person’s agent.

  5. Your physical or electronic signature (for example, typing your full legal name at the end of the counter‑notice).

6. OUR RESPONSE TO COUNTER‑NOTICES

When we receive a valid counter‑notice, we may:

  • Forward a copy of the counter‑notice to the original complaining party.

  • Inform that party that we may restore the removed material or re‑enable access to it within a period of time (typically 10–14 business days) unless they notify us that they have filed a legal action seeking a court order to restrain you from engaging in infringing activity.

If we do not receive notice that the original complaining party has filed such an action within the required period, we may, in our discretion, restore the material or re‑enable access to it.

7. REPEAT INFRINGERS

It is our policy, where appropriate and in our sole discretion, to disable or terminate accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers.

We may consider a user a repeat infringer if they receive multiple DMCA notices regarding separate content or if they engage in clear, egregious infringement, regardless of the number of notices.

8. MISUSE OF THE DMCA

Filing false or materially misleading DMCA notices or counter‑notices can have legal consequences. Anyone who knowingly misrepresents that material or activity is infringing (or has been removed by mistake) may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees.

Please ensure you have a good‑faith basis and the necessary rights before submitting any notice or counter‑notice.
