DMCA Compliance Policy
It is the policy of UnsungHipHop
to promptly process and investigate notices of alleged copyright
infringement, and take appropriate actions under the Digital Millennium
Copyright Act, Title 17, United States Code, Section 512 (“DMCA”).
Contents of Notice
The DMCA requires that all notices
of alleged copyright infringement must be in writing. When informing the
designated agent of an alleged copyright infringement, the complainant
must:
(1) Identify the copyrighted work
that allegedly has been infringed. If multiple copyrighted works at a
single online site are involved, please provide a list of the works on
that site.
(2) Describe the material
that is claimed to be infringing and provide sufficient information to
permit UnsungHipHop to locate that material.
(3) Provide your contact information, including an address, telephone number, and, if available, an e-mail address.
(4)
Certify or include a statement that the complainant has a good faith
belief that the use of the copyright-protected material in the manner
complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, the owner’s
agent, or law.
(5) Certify that the
information that you have provided UnsungHipHop is accurate. The
complainant should attest under penalty of perjury that s/he is
authorized to enforce the copyrights that have allegedly have been
infringed.
(6) Include a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or person authorized to act on behalf of the owner.
Before the complainants allege an
infringement, s/he should consult copyright materials to confirm that
the use is, in fact, infringing. The United States Copyright Office
provides basic information, online, at http://www.copyright.gov/,
which can assist one in determining whether an exception or defense,
such as fair use, may apply to the use of your copyrighted work.

Pursuant to the DMCA, UnsungHipHop has designated an agent to receive notification of
alleged copyright infringement occurring on Web pages or computer
servers. If you believe that your copyrighted work is being infringed on
www.unsunghiphop.com.com, please notify our designated agent,
preferably by email, at:

Content hosted via Third Party APIs:
All videos that were not directly
submitted are embedded using the official API interfaces as provided by
the respective video sites, (namely DailyMotion, YouTube, Google Video,
MySpace TV, and MTV) and this in accordance and in full compliance with
their respective terms of service.
There is no way for us to
establish, legally or otherwise, whether any of the video sites we use
are hosting the content we use illegally or whether they have any
agreements/contracts with copyright holders and licensing collecting
agencies or not. We therefore can only assume that they are acting “in
good faith” and that by allowing us to embed their content, they do not
make us accomplice to any copyright or licensing violations.
We do not upload any videos
anywhere ourselves. We only use what has been uploaded by existing
members of the video sites we use. Lately we are using mostly official
videos posted by record companies and labels in an attempt to stay out
of the copyright quagmire.
Licensing Issues: for any licensing
issues please consult the copyright policies of the sites listed below
