Copyright and DMCA

Cantari is operated by KDigital LLC (doing business as Cantari). This policy explains how we respond to claims of copyright infringement on Cantari, how to send us a notice, how to dispute a removal, and what happens to accounts that infringe repeatedly. It applies to all content on Cantari, including audio clips, scripts, transcripts, uploaded audio, and community posts.

We respect the intellectual property rights of others, and we ask everyone who uses Cantari to do the same. You may only upload, generate, share, or publish content that you own or that you have the rights and permissions to use. This includes the text you synthesize into speech, the audio you upload for transcription or dubbing, the manuscripts you narrate, and anything you publish to the public community.

We respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). It is our policy, in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, to remove or disable access to material that infringes the copyright of others and to terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe. This policy is part of, and incorporated into, our Terms of use.

If you believe that content on Cantari infringes a copyright you own or are authorized to act for, you may send us a written notice. To be effective under 17 U.S.C. 512(c)(3), your notice must include all of the following:

• A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple works are covered by a single notice, a representative list of those works.
• Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity, and that is to be removed or have access to it disabled, with enough detail to let us locate it, including the URL or other specific location of the material on Cantari.
• Your contact information, including your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• 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.

If your notice does not include these elements, it may not be effective and we may be unable to act on it.

Send your written notice to our Designated Agent:

• Copyright Agent, KDigital LLC d/b/a Cantari
• 2550 Albany Avenue, West Hartford, CT 06117
• Email: legal [at] cantari.io

For the fastest handling, send your notice by email to the address above with enough detail to identify both the copyrighted work and the specific material on Cantari.

If your content was removed or disabled in response to a DMCA notice and you believe that was a mistake or misidentification, you may send us a counter-notification. Under 17 U.S.C. 512(g), an effective counter-notification must be a written communication that includes all of the following:

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the material that was removed or to which access was disabled, and the location where the material appeared before it was removed or disabled.
• 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.
• Your name, mailing address, and telephone number, and 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, for any judicial district in which we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice or that person’s agent.

Send your counter-notification to the Designated Agent listed above. If we receive a valid counter-notification, we may forward it to the person who filed the original notice and let them know that we may restore the removed material. We may restore the material in not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days after receiving your counter-notification, unless the original complainant first notifies us that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain you from engaging in the infringing activity.

In accordance with 17 U.S.C. 512(i), we have adopted and reasonably implement a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers. We may also limit access to Cantari for anyone who infringes the intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.

Please be careful and act in good faith. Under 17 U.S.C. 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees. Do not make false claims in a notice or a counter-notification.
