Topic Bangla (“Topic বাংলা” or “the Website”) respects the intellectual property rights of others. We prohibit users from uploading, posting, or distributing any content that infringes on the copyrights of others. If you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please submit a DMCA takedown notice following the guidelines below.

What is the DMCA?

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a United States copyright law that implements two international treaties. It criminalizes the production and dissemination of technology, devices, or services that can be used to circumvent copyright protections. Additionally, it sets forth limitations on the liability of online service providers for copyright infringement by their users.

What is Copyright Infringement?

Copyright infringement occurs when a copyrighted work is reproduced, distributed, adapted, displayed, or performed without the permission of the copyright owner. This includes unauthorized use of text, images, music, videos, or other creative works.

How to Submit the DMCA Notice

Please submit your DMCA takedown notice via email to [email protected] We will process your request within five (5) business days of receipt.

What Happens After I Submit a DMCA Notice?

Upon receipt of a properly formatted DMCA takedown notice, we will promptly remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material. We will also make a good faith attempt to forward the takedown notice to the alleged infringer, whose identity may or may not be known to us.

Counter-Notice

The alleged infringer may submit a counter-notice if they believe that the material was removed or disabled in error. The counter-notice must comply with the DMCA’s requirements. Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, we may restore the removed material.

Repeat Infringers

Topic Bangla reserves the right to terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers of intellectual property rights.

Fair Use

The DMCA allows for the limited use of copyrighted material without requiring permission from the copyright owner. This is known as “fair use.” Fair use includes commentary, criticism, parody, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Whether a particular use is considered fair use depends on a fact-specific analysis of the four fair use factors:

  1. The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for non-profit educational purposes
  2. The nature of the copyrighted work
  3. The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole
  4. The effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work
