DMCA Takedown Policy

Last updated: June 28, 2025

1Take respects the intellectual property rights of others and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). This policy explains how copyright owners can report potential infringements and how alleged infringers can respond.

1. Overview of the DMCA

The DMCA is a U.S. copyright law designed to protect the rights of copyright owners. It allows copyright holders to request the removal of infringing content from online platforms while offering a process for alleged infringers to respond.

While 1Take.News operates globally, we voluntarily comply with the DMCA as part of our commitment to respecting intellectual property rights.
