Copyright Protection
Every video you publish is copyrighted the moment you create it — but proving ownership, licensing it properly, and dealing with freebooters and false strikes is where creators need backup.
When you need this
- Your content is being re-uploaded, clipped or monetised by someone else.
- You've received a copyright strike or takedown you believe is false.
- You work with editors, thumbnail artists or ghostwriters and want to be sure you own the output.
- A brand, channel or aggregator wants to license your content and you need terms.
- You want registered proof of ownership for your original music, course, book or format.
What we do
- Copyright ownership audits — who actually owns your videos when editors, musicians and collaborators are involved, and fixing it with proper assignment clauses.
- Registration of works with the Indian Copyright Office where registered proof adds leverage.
- Drafting licensing agreements so clips, syndication and adaptations earn you money on your terms.
- Takedown action against re-uploads: platform complaints, DMCA-style notices, and escalation when platforms don't act.
- Responding to strikes and infringement claims against you, including fair-dealing analysis for commentary and reaction content.

Good to know
Under the Copyright Act, 1957, copyright exists automatically on creation — registration is optional but is strong evidence in disputes.
If you commission work (editing, thumbnails, music) without a written assignment, ownership can be murkier than you think. One clause in your freelancer agreement fixes it.
India has "fair dealing", not US-style "fair use" — the exceptions are narrower, and what a US reaction channel gets away with may not protect you here.
Copyright lasts your lifetime plus 60 years — your content is a long-term asset worth securing properly.
Frequently asked
My video was re-uploaded. What can I actually do?
Start with the platform's copyright complaint process — as the original creator you have the stronger claim. If the infringer ignores takedowns or it's happening at scale, a formal legal notice usually changes behaviour quickly. We handle both.
Do I own the videos my editor makes?
Not automatically in every arrangement. If your editor is a freelancer and there's no written assignment, they may have a claim over their contribution. A short written agreement with an IP assignment clause puts this beyond doubt — we can draft one you reuse for every collaborator.
Is my reaction/commentary content "fair use"?
India's exception is "fair dealing" — for criticism, review, and reporting — and it's narrower than the American fair use you hear about on YouTube. Transformative commentary has room to operate, but format matters. We can review your format and flag what's risky.
Should I register my copyright?
For most day-to-day videos, automatic copyright plus your upload records is enough. For high-value works — original music, courses, books, show formats — registration with the Copyright Office is cheap insurance that pays off in any dispute.
