1. Overview: how copyright complaints work here#
Fluttercube is a streaming platform for AI-generated films, operated by MGR Group UAB, a company incorporated in Lithuania. This policy explains how we handle copyright complaints about content hosted on Fluttercube, and what uploaders can do if their work is taken down. It applies to all content and services offered by Fluttercube, on any domain we operate.
Everything on Fluttercube is AI-generated and presented as such. That changes nothing about copyright. An AI-generated film can still infringe the rights of others — for example by copying a protected film, script, character, piece of music, or footage, or by imitating material the uploader has no right to use. AI provenance is never a defence to infringement, and creators are responsible for holding the rights to everything they publish.
We run one notice-and-action process that serves both the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. §512, the DMCA) and the European Union's notice-and-action rules under the Digital Services Act (DSA). Whether you frame your complaint as a DMCA notice or an EU notice, it enters the same channel, is handled by the same case process, and produces the same record.
Our role is procedural. We receive notices, remove or disable access to content in response to valid ones, pass the required notices between the parties, run the statutory clocks, and keep a complete case record. We do not judge who owns what — the underlying dispute is between the person who filed the notice and the person who uploaded the content, and if they cannot resolve it, it belongs in court.
2. Filing a copyright notice#
If you believe content on Fluttercube infringes your copyright (or the copyright of someone you are authorised to represent), send us a written notice. You do not need a Fluttercube account to file one.
To be valid under 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3), your notice must include all of the following:
• Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed (or, if the notice covers multiple works on the site, a representative list of them).
• Identification of the material you claim is infringing and information reasonably sufficient for us to locate it — for content on Fluttercube, the URL of the video on Fluttercube.
• Your contact information: name, postal address, telephone number, and email address.
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• A statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act on the owner's behalf.
• Your physical or electronic signature.
For notices under the EU notice-and-action rules, please also include a short explanation of why you consider the content infringing. A notice that meets the DMCA requirements above and includes that explanation satisfies both regimes at once.
Send your notice to our Copyright Agent by email: dmca@fluttercube.com (Copyright Agent, MGR Group UAB), or by post to the address in section 8. You can also ask questions through the contact form in the site footer, which works without an account — but formal copyright notices should be sent by email (the contact form limits messages to 2,000 characters and is not a filing channel).
If your notice is missing required elements, we may contact you to complete it, and it may not be treated as a valid notice until it is complete. Before filing, read section 5 below: knowingly false notices carry legal liability.
3. What happens after a valid notice#
When we receive a valid notice and act on it, the following happens:
• We promptly remove or disable public access to the identified video. On Fluttercube this means the video is unpublished — viewers see a notice that the video is unavailable instead of the content.
• We notify the uploader in the app and by email. The notification describes the work claimed in the notice, explains how to submit a counter-notice, and states any deadline that applies to your case.
• We open a tracked case. Every case keeps a full audit trail: the notice as received, each action taken, each notice sent to either party, and when it happened.
• We do not pass the claimant's contact details to the uploader, or the uploader's contact details to the claimant, in these takedown-stage notifications. (A counter-notice is different — see section 4.)
Where a counter-notice deadline applies to your case, it is stated in your takedown notification. If the counter-notice window closes with no counter-notice on record, the case is closed and the takedown stands. Both parties are notified when that happens.
Removal under this process is not a finding of infringement, and leaving content up is not a finding of non-infringement. Every case state is a procedural state, not a verdict.
4. Counter-notice and restoration#
If your video was taken down and you believe the notice was mistaken — because the material was misidentified, or because you hold the rights or another lawful basis to publish it — you may submit a counter-notice.
To be valid under 17 U.S.C. §512(g)(3), your counter-notice must include all of the following:
• Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before it was removed (the video's URL on Fluttercube).
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
• Your name, postal address, and telephone number.
• A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located — or, if your address is outside the United States, to the jurisdiction of any judicial district in which MGR Group UAB may be found — and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice or their agent.
• Your physical or electronic signature.
To submit a counter-notice, contact us promptly — and if your takedown notification states a deadline, before that deadline: write to dmca@fluttercube.com, or send it by post to the address in section 8. Our team captures your counter-notice onto the case record, and the submission is confirmed on the record under penalty of perjury with your consent to jurisdiction.
When we receive a valid counter-notice, we promptly provide the person who filed the original notice with a copy of it, and inform them that the content will become eligible for restoration unless they notify us that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the alleged infringement. A counter-notice necessarily includes your name and contact details; by submitting one, you accept that the claimant receives them.
Restoration follows the statutory window of 17 U.S.C. §512(g): unless the claimant first notifies us that they have filed such a court action, the content becomes eligible for restoration once that window — no less than 10 and no more than 14 business days after we receive the valid counter-notice — has run, and our team then restores it. The content stays down for the entire window — our systems do not allow restoration before the window has run. If a court action is recorded on the case, the takedown becomes permanent and the case is closed; both parties are notified. If the window passes with no court action recorded, the content is restored and both parties are notified.
5. False notices and false counter-notices#
Under 17 U.S.C. §512(f), anyone who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, is liable for damages — including costs and attorneys' fees — suffered by the alleged infringer, the copyright owner or its licensee, or by us as the service provider.
Both notices and counter-notices are signed documents that include statements made under penalty of perjury. Do not file either unless you believe, in good faith, that what you are stating is true.
Under the EU notice-and-action rules, we may also suspend the processing of notices from parties who frequently submit notices that are manifestly unfounded, after warning them. Abusive use of this process, in either direction, may additionally lead to action against a Fluttercube account under our Terms of Service (/legal/terms).
6. Repeat infringers#
We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe copyright.
Every copyright case is tracked in our case system with a permanent audit trail, so we always know the full copyright history of an account: notices received, takedowns applied, counter-notices, restorations, court actions, and cases closed with the takedown standing.
Repeat-infringer decisions are made by a person reviewing that full record — not by an automated strike counter. We weigh, among other things, how many takedowns have stood against the account (including cases closed after no counter-notice, and cases closed by court action), the seriousness of each case, and whether the user acted in good faith.
Depending on the record, consequences range from removal of the specific content, to suspension of the account and its monetisation (a suspended creator's public profile is unavailable and the creator can no longer receive tips or Support), up to permanent termination of the account. A takedown that was later reversed through a valid counter-notice and restoration does not count against the uploader.
7. Reports that are not copyright complaints#
Not every problem with a video is a copyright problem. For spam, harassment or abuse, explicit or shocking content, misleading AI provenance, or other concerns, use the Report option on the video or comment while signed in. A human moderator reviews every report; nothing is removed automatically.
If you select the copyright reason in the Report dialog, it will point you back to this policy. Copyright removal requests must come through the notice process in section 2 — that is what triggers the statutory protections and deadlines for both sides. An in-app report alone is not a copyright notice.
Complaints about other intellectual-property rights, such as trademarks, can be sent to the same address: dmca@fluttercube.com. We handle them case by case; the statutory clocks described above apply specifically to copyright.
