DMCA
At RAMRaiders, we deeply value the creativity and hard work that goes into developing and distributing computer games. As a digital platform focused on gaming content, we are firmly committed to upholding copyright laws and ensuring that intellectual property rights are fully respected. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), we have established the following policy and procedures to address claims of copyright infringement involving content related to computer games.
This policy outlines the steps rights holders should follow to submit a DMCA notice, how we process such notices, and what actions are available to users who believe their content was removed in error. Our aim is to maintain a fair balance between protecting copyrighted works and allowing for legitimate use of game-related content within our community.
The computer gaming industry is driven by innovation and artistic expression. Games are not just software—they encompass storytelling, visual design, music composition, technical programming, and unique gameplay mechanics. Copyright laws protect many elements of a computer game, including:
Unauthorized reproduction or distribution of any of these elements may constitute copyright infringement. We take these issues seriously and will respond promptly to any valid complaints brought under the DMCA.
If you are a copyright owner or authorized representative and you believe your protected computer game content has been used on our platform without authorization, you may submit a formal takedown request. This must be a written notice that complies with the requirements set forth in the DMCA. It should include the following elements:
Failure to provide a complete notice may delay or prevent action on your request.
Upon receiving a valid DMCA takedown notice, our team will take the following steps:
We aim to act swiftly, fairly, and in full compliance with applicable law, to ensure both copyright protection and due process.
If your content has been removed due to a DMCA takedown and you believe the removal was mistaken or unauthorized, you may respond with a counter-notification. This is your legal right under the DMCA. Your counter-notice must include:
Once your counter-notification is received, we will forward it to the party that submitted the original notice. If they do not file a legal action within ten to fourteen business days, we may restore the content.
In accordance with the DMCA and our own internal policies, we reserve the right to terminate or restrict access to accounts belonging to users who repeatedly infringe on the copyrights of others. A repeat infringer is typically defined as a user who has received multiple valid takedown notices or who consistently uploads unauthorized copyrighted material.
We do not take account termination lightly and evaluate each case individually to determine appropriate enforcement actions.
By submitting a DMCA notice or a counter-notification, you acknowledge that your information, including name and contact details, may be shared with the opposing party involved in the dispute. This is required by law and intended to facilitate the resolution of copyright claims.
We treat such information with confidentiality and will not use it for purposes unrelated to DMCA processing.
We understand that many users post gaming content for educational, commentary, parody, review, or community engagement purposes. In some cases, such uses may fall under the doctrine of "fair use," which is recognized under copyright law.
However, determining whether a specific use qualifies as fair use is complex and often requires a legal determination based on factors such as the purpose, nature, and effect of the use. If you are unsure whether your use is protected under fair use or similar doctrines, we recommend consulting a legal professional before posting the content.
As a platform for computer game fans, developers, and enthusiasts, we are committed to supporting a vibrant and lawful digital ecosystem. We encourage respectful behavior, creative expression, and lawful engagement with game-related content. While we do not monitor all user activity, we do investigate reports of infringement and respond appropriately in accordance with the DMCA.
Whether you’re a game developer protecting your assets or a player sharing gameplay experiences, we ask that you respect the rights of others and follow our guidelines.
If you have questions or concerns about our DMCA process, or if you need assistance with submitting a notice or counter-notice, please contact our support team through the appropriate channels provided on our platform.
