For rights holders, briefly
- We do not produce any channel or title the service carries, and we claim no rights in any of them.
- No email address is published and no designated agent is registered; notices reach the team on WhatsApp.
- You get confirmation of receipt within 2 business days; action on a complete notice follows within 5.
- Logins used to redistribute streams are closed.
Where a notice goes
Send it on WhatsApp to +212 663 813 479, with “Copyright notice” as the first line so it reaches the person who deals with copyright matters. A typed notice is accepted, and a signed letter can be attached as a PDF or a photo. The route is the same whether a notice relies on the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, codified at 17 U.S.C. § 512, or on a similar law in another country.
If you would rather begin with a form, our contact form opens the same conversation.
No designated agent has been registered with the US Copyright Office for this service. Notices are handled by the team that runs it, through the routes above.
The six parts of a complete notice
- Which copyrighted work you believe is infringed. A notice covering many works may give a representative list instead.
- The material you want taken down or blocked, described closely enough to be found on the service (the next section explains what helps).
- How to reach you: postal address and telephone number, with an email address where one exists.
- A statement of good faith: you believe no permission for the disputed use was given by the copyright owner or its agent, and none exists in law.
- A statement sworn under penalty of perjury: the exclusive right concerned is yours, or you are entitled to act for the person who holds it. The notice must also confirm that its contents are accurate.
- A signature, handwritten or electronic, from the copyright owner or from someone with authority to act on the owner’s behalf.
Until all six are present a notice cannot be acted on. The reply to an incomplete one names what is missing.
Pointing to a channel or a title
The service has no public web pages for its content, so a link cannot identify anything. For a live channel, give the channel name as the player displays it, the country or language group it is filed under, and the date, time and time zone of the broadcast concerned. For on-demand material, give the title as listed, say whether it is a movie or a series, and add the season and episode numbers for a series.
After a notice arrives
You hear back within 2 business days that it has arrived. A complete notice leads, within 5 business days, to the material being taken down or access to it being disabled. Where a part was missing, those 5 days run from the day the completed notice comes in.
Counter-notices
Someone who believes material was removed by mistake or misidentification can answer with a counter-notice, sent by the same route. Section 512(g)(3) of the Act requires it to contain:
- a handwritten or electronic signature of the sender;
- a description of what was removed and where it could be found beforehand;
- a declaration, made under penalty of perjury, of the sender’s good-faith belief that the material came down through mistake or misidentification;
- the name, postal address and phone number of the sender;
- the sender’s acceptance that the US federal district court for the judicial district of that address may hear the matter (for an address abroad, any judicial district where PRORANKTV can be found), and agreement to be served with legal process by whoever sent the original notice.
Subscribers who redistribute
A login used to record and re-stream channels, or one named repeatedly in notices found to be valid, is closed without a refund, as the rules every subscriber accepts allow.
Notices that misstate the facts
Under section 512(f), a person who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material infringes, or that it was removed by mistake, can be liable for the damages that follow. If it is unclear whether a particular use infringes, speak to a lawyer first; this page is a procedure, not legal advice. Our promises about the content carried, and their limits, are set out in the PRORANKTV disclaimer.
If a passage on this page leaves you unsure how it applies to you, quote its heading in a WhatsApp message to the PRORANKTV team on +212 663 813 479, or leave the question on the PRORANKTV contact page. Answers come back in writing.
