STEAMe Copyright Policy

Last updated: May 23, 2025

We comply with the provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act applicable to internet service providers (17 U.S.C. §512, as amended, the “DMCA”). The DMCA establishes a process for addressing claims of copyright infringement that we have implemented for our Services.

Notice of Infringement – DMCA (Copyright) Policy

We reserve the right to remove any content or information shared on the Services if we believe that such content or information infringes our intellectual property rights or the intellectual property rights of any third party.

If you believe that any text, graphics, photos, audio, videos or other materials or works uploaded, downloaded or appearing on the Services have been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, you may submit a notification to our copyright agent in accordance with 17 USC 512(c) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the “DMCA”), by providing the following information in writing:

  1. identification of the copyrighted work that is claimed to be infringed;
  2. identification of the allegedly infringing material that is requested to be removed, including a description of where it is located on the Service;
  3. information for our copyright agent to contact you, such as an address, telephone number and e-mail address;
  4. a statement that you have a good faith belief that the identified, allegedly infringing use is not authorized by the copyright owners, its agent or the law;
  5. a statement that the information above is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or the authorized person to act on behalf of the copyright owner; and
  6. the physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Notices of copyright infringement claims should be sent by mail to: STEAMe, LLC, Attn: Kelly Velasquez Hague, 1288 North Hermitage Ave., Chicago IL 60622 or by email to copyright@steame.com. It is our policy, in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, to disable or terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe copyrights or intellectual property rights of others.

A user of the Services who has uploaded or posted materials identified as infringing as described above may supply a counter-notification pursuant to sections 512(g)(2) and (3) of the DMCA. When we receive a counter-notification, we may reinstate the posts or material in question, in our sole discretion. To file a counter-notification with us, you must provide a written communication (by fax or regular mail or by email) that sets forth all of the items required by sections 512(g)(2) and (3) of the DMCA. Please note that you will be liable for damages if you materially misrepresent that content or an activity is not infringing the copyrights of others.
