CONTENT OWNERS AND TAKE-DOWN REQUESTS


In order to protect content owners from abusive take-down requests, or requests sent in error, we do not automatically disable videos that are owned by a content owner. If such a notice was sent through the Contact Us form for copyright infringements, the sender will receive a Take-Down Request confirmation email, and will be requested to email us with more information.

If you sent us a notice through direct email or letter we will try to inform you of the situation however we cannot guarantee that we will do it every time because some notices include many links.

However it is sometimes difficult to evaluate content so if you think some Users on Sedia tv do not own the content they are uploading please contact us and we will remove the uploaded content
