Respect for creators.
Sooddy hosts files submitted by users. Uploaders must have the rights needed to share and, where applicable, earn from their content. We review copyright complaints and act on valid notices. Payment eligibility does not give anyone permission to distribute copyrighted work.
Send a copyright notice.
If you own the copyright or are authorized to represent its owner, identify the specific Sooddy links in your complaint. Include:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- The protected work, or a representative list if multiple works are involved.
- The exact URLs and enough detail to locate the material complained about.
- Your name and contact details, including a mailing address, telephone number, and email.
- An explanation that you genuinely believe the use lacks permission from the owner or their agent and is not permitted by law.
- Confirmation that the notice is accurate, together with a declaration under penalty of perjury that you are authorized to represent the rights holder.
Copyright contact.
Send notices and counter-notices to dmca@sooddy.com. Include “Copyright notice” or “Counter-notice” in the subject and keep a copy of your submission.
What happens after a notice.
We review submissions, request missing information where needed, and act expeditiously on valid notices by removing or disabling access to the identified material. We notify the affected uploader of a removal. Relevant complaint details may be shared with that uploader so they can respond.
If your file was removed by mistake.
A counter-notice should identify the removed material and its former location, include your signature, name, mailing address, telephone number, and email, and state under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the removal resulted from a mistake or misidentification.
For a DMCA counter-notice, consent to the U.S. federal district court covering your address. If you live outside the United States, consent to a U.S. judicial district where the service provider may be found. Also agree to accept service of process from the original complainant or their representative.
We forward a valid counter-notice to the complainant. Under the applicable DMCA process, access is restored between 10 and 14 business days after receipt unless we receive notice that the complainant has brought a court action seeking to prevent the alleged infringement.
Repeat infringement and misuse.
Accounts of repeat copyright infringers may be terminated in appropriate circumstances. Do not re-upload removed material to evade a decision or use another account to bypass restrictions. Knowingly false notices or counter-notices can have legal consequences.
For other abuse, privacy, or security concerns, use the file-report option or Contact Us. See U.S. Copyright Office guidance for additional information about notices and counter-notices.
