Reporting Copyright Issues
If you believe content on our educational platform infringes your copyright, we want to hear from you. We take these matters seriously and investigate every claim that comes our way. This isn't about legal formality—it's about doing what's right and maintaining trust with both content creators and educators.
Identify the Copyrighted Work
Tell us about the original work you created or own. Be specific. If it's a game design tutorial, point us to where you first published it. If it's visual content, show us the original source.
- Description of your original copyrighted material
- Link to where your original content lives online
- Registration details if you've formally registered the copyright
- Any timestamps or proof of when you created it
Show Us the Problem
Point directly to what's on our site that shouldn't be there. Vague reports slow everything down. The more precise you are, the faster we can investigate and take action if needed.
- Exact URL where the allegedly infringing content appears
- Screenshot or detailed description of what's wrong
- Explanation of how it infringes your rights
- Section or timestamp if it's within a larger piece of content
Provide Your Contact Information
We need to reach you for follow-up questions. Sometimes what looks like infringement turns out to be licensed content or fair use. A conversation helps us figure that out.
- Your full legal name
- Email address where we can reach you reliably
- Phone number for urgent matters
- Mailing address if you're filing a formal notice
Confirm Your Authority
You need to be the copyright owner or someone authorized to act on their behalf. We can't process claims from random observers—there's too much potential for abuse.
- Statement that you own the copyright or represent the owner
- Documentation proving your authority to file this claim
- Good faith belief that the use isn't authorized
- Acknowledgment that false claims have consequences
What Happens Next
We review claims within three business days. If your notice meets legal requirements, we'll investigate the content. This might mean temporarily removing it while we look into things.
The person who posted the content gets notified. They can file a counter-notice if they believe their use was legitimate. This back-and-forth is standard procedure—not personal.
Sometimes what looks like infringement is actually educational fair use. We're teaching game design, which means showing examples of existing work with commentary. That's generally protected speech. But we still review every claim individually because context matters.
Before You File
Filing false copyright claims can result in legal liability. Make sure you actually own the rights or represent someone who does. If you're just upset about criticism or commentary on your work, a copyright claim isn't the right tool. Consider reaching out to us directly first—many issues get resolved through simple conversation rather than formal legal processes.
