Copyright Information

1. Introduction

At Stamp, we respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect our users to do the same. This Copyright Information page explains our policies and procedures regarding copyright protection, infringement, and the rights of content creators on our platform.

2. Copyright Ownership

When you upload content to Stamp, you retain all ownership rights to your original content. However, by uploading content to our platform, you grant Stamp a limited license to host, store, and make your content available to users according to your sharing preferences and our Terms of Service.

2.1 Artist Rights

As an artist on Stamp, you maintain full ownership of your music, artwork, and other creative content. We believe creators should control their work and how it's distributed. Our platform is designed to help you share your content while protecting your rights.

2.2 Platform Content

The Stamp platform itself, including our website design, logo, interface, and content created by Stamp (excluding user-generated content), is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. These elements may not be copied, reproduced, or used without our express permission.

3. Copyright Infringement

Stamp prohibits the uploading, sharing, or distribution of content that infringes on the copyrights of others. Examples of copyright infringement include:

• Uploading music, artwork, or other content that you did not create and do not have permission to use
• Creating derivative works without permission from the original copyright holder
• Distributing copyrighted content beyond the scope of fair use or without proper licensing
• Using samples, loops, or portions of others' works without appropriate clearance

3.1 Fair Use

Fair use allows limited use of copyrighted material without permission for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research. However, fair use is determined on a case-by-case basis, considering factors such as:

• The purpose and character of the use (commercial vs. non-commercial)
• The nature of the copyrighted work
• The amount and substantiality of the portion used
• The effect on the potential market for the original work

If you believe your use of copyrighted material constitutes fair use, you should carefully evaluate these factors before uploading such content to Stamp.

4. DMCA Policy

Stamp complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and similar copyright laws worldwide. We have implemented a notice and takedown procedure for addressing claims of copyright infringement.

4.3 Repeat Infringers

Stamp maintains a policy of terminating the accounts of users who are repeat copyright infringers. We reserve the right to determine, in our sole discretion, whether a user has infringed the copyrights of others repeatedly.

5. Content ID and Rights Management

Stamp employs content identification technology to help identify potentially infringing material before it is published. This system compares uploaded content against a database of registered works to detect potential matches.

If you are a rights holder, you can register your works with our content identification system to help protect your content from unauthorized use. Please contact us at [email protected] for more information about this program.

6. Licensing and Rights Clearance

We encourage all artists to properly clear rights for any third-party content used in their works, including samples, cover songs, or visual elements. Stamp offers resources to help artists understand music licensing and rights clearance.

For more information about licensing and rights clearance, please visit our Help Center or contact our support team.
