DMCA & Copyright Policy
How to report copyright infringement on wavememe and how we handle takedown requests.
Last updated: 2026-10-26
Our Approach to Copyright
We respect intellectual-property rights and expect our users to do the same.
- Template footage and audio tracks may be self-produced or third-party materials, and the applicable rights and license terms apply. We do not represent that every template or soundtrack is self-produced or original to us.
- Finished videos use the master template's own audio track (the Hotel Lobby template keeps the performance's original sound). If you want the trending sound, add it inside TikTok or Instagram when you post, under those platforms' own music licenses.
- Users represent that they have the right to every photo they upload (see our Terms of Service). Uploading photos of celebrities, public figures, or any person without their authorization is prohibited.
Reporting Copyright Infringement (Takedown Notice)
Every share page has a report entry. You can also file a DMCA takedown notice as a support ticket at /settings/tickets โ sign in or create an account first โ with the subject line "DMCA". To be effective under 17 U.S.C. ยง512(c)(3), your notice must include:
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
- Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, including its URL on our site, so we can locate it.
- Your contact information: address, telephone number, and email address.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized 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 authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
What Happens Next
- We review complete notices promptly and remove or disable access to the material where the claim is valid.
- We notify the user who posted the material and give them the opportunity to file a counter-notification.
- Nothing here limits other remedies we or rights holders may have.
Counter-Notification
If you believe your content was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notification as a support ticket at /settings/tickets (subject line "DMCA Counter") including:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material that was removed and the URL where it appeared before removal.
- 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, address, and telephone number, and a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, if outside the United States, for any judicial district in which we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the original complainant.
Where a valid counter-notification is received, we may restore the material after 10โ14 business days unless the original complainant files a court action.
Repeat Infringers
In appropriate circumstances, we terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe copyrights.
