1. Nature of This Service: An Information Location Tool
ohyeah.love (the "Site") is a curation & review platform for adult content. Please take particular note of the Site's technical nature, as it directly determines the legal framework under which this Policy applies:
- The Site does not host, store, upload, or produce any video files. All videos are hosted and served by third-party source sites.
- The Site's own pages contain only editorially written reviews, ratings, and category metadata, together with outbound links to the source sites; all such links carry the
rel="sponsored nofollow"attribute. - The only material the Site caches on its own servers consists of cover thumbnails taken from source-site pages, used for listing display and identification. No video content is cached.
On the basis of the foregoing, the Site positions itself as an "information location tool" within the meaning of the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA", 17 U.S.C. § 512), and accordingly claims the safe-harbor protection of § 512(d) — the safe harbor covering services that refer or link users, by means of information location tools, to an online location containing infringing material.
With respect to the cover thumbnails cached on the Site's servers, the Site additionally claims the safe harbor under § 512(c) (information residing on systems at the direction of users/system operations), and processes that material under the full § 512(c) notice-and-takedown procedure.
Note: The takedown procedures under § 512(d) (links) and § 512(c) (thumbnail storage) are substantially identical. This Policy applies a single submission and processing workflow to both.
2. Our Compliance Posture
The Site takes a dual-track "proactive + responsive" approach to compliance:
Proactive internal controls (zero tolerance for minor-related content / CSAM):
- All harvested content is created as a draft by default and must pass a human review gate before going live;
- Any content involving a suspected minor is subject to auto-takedown;
- Source sites found to carry violating content are subject to a permanent source ban.
Responsive takedown (copyright / DMCA):
- Upon receipt of a takedown notice meeting the requirements set out below, the Site will expeditiously remove or disable access to the identified review entry, outbound link(s), and any corresponding cached thumbnail;
- Where infringement at the source-site level is systemic, the Site may remove the entire source site from its indexing pool.
The Site shall not incur any liability to the content publisher (the source site) for removing content; such removal is a good-faith response undertaken pursuant to § 512.
3. Designated Agent and U.S. Copyright Office Registration
Pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(2), the Site has designated the agent identified below to receive notifications of claimed copyright infringement.
Registration status: One of the prerequisites for claiming the § 512 safe harbors is registration of the designated agent's information in the U.S. Copyright Office's online DMCA Designated Agent Directory (dmca.copyright.gov), subject to renewal every three years and prompt updating as required. That registration is currently in progress. Both before and after the registration is completed, the Site accepts and processes all notices in full accordance with this Policy.
Designated Copyright Agent:
- Name / Title: Content Compliance Officer
- Organization: The operator of ohyeah.love
- Full mailing address: (Contact is currently by email only; a formal mailing address will be added in due course)
- Telephone: (Not available at this time; please use email)
- Email: [email protected] (general inquiries may also be sent to [email protected])
4. How to File a Valid Takedown Notice
If you are a copyright owner, or an agent authorized to act on behalf of one, and you believe in good faith that a review entry, outbound link, or cached thumbnail on the Site infringes your copyright, please submit a written notification to the Designated Agent identified above.
Pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)(A), a valid notification must include all six of the following statutory elements; the omission of any one of them may affect its legal effectiveness:
-
Signature — A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or of a person authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
-
Identification of the work — Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed; if a single notification covers multiple works, a representative list of such works may be provided.
-
Identification & location of the material — Identification of the material claimed to be infringing and that is to be removed or to which access is to be disabled, together with information reasonably sufficient to permit the Site to locate the material, such as the full URL of the specific review entry on the Site.
-
Contact information — The notifying party's address, telephone number, and, if available, email address, so that the Site may contact you.
-
Good-faith statement — A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
-
Accuracy & authority statement — A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
How to submit: Please send the notification to the Designated Agent at [email protected]. To facilitate processing, we suggest stating "DMCA Takedown Notice" in the subject line.
Important note (specific to a linking/index site): Because the Site does not host videos, if the infringed material is the video file itself, the most complete remedy is to also submit a takedown notice to the source site that actually hosts the video. The Site can remove the review, outbound link, and cached thumbnail pointing to that content, but cannot delete the original file residing on the source site's servers.
Liability for false notices: Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for the resulting damages (including the costs and attorneys' fees incurred by the party whose material was wrongly removed and by the Site). Please do not abuse this process.
5. Counter-Notification & Restoration
If your content (a review entry, outbound link, or thumbnail) has been removed or disabled pursuant to a takedown notice, and you believe in good faith that the removal was the result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g).
A valid counter-notification must include the following elements:
- Your physical or electronic signature;
- Identification of the removed content, together with the location (URL) at which the content appeared before it was removed;
- A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief that the content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification;
- Your name, address, and telephone number, together with a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (if within the United States); or, if you are located outside the United States, that you consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of competent jurisdiction at the location of the Site's Designated Agent or of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original takedown notice or that person's agent.
Processing:
- Upon receipt of a compliant counter-notification, the Site will forward it to the original notifying party;
- If the original notifying party does not, within 10 to 14 business days, provide the Site with evidence that it has filed a court action seeking to restrain the alleged infringement, the Site may, at its discretion, restore the removed review entry or link.
Please send counter-notifications to the Designated Agent at [email protected].
6. Repeat Infringer Policy
Pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), the Site has adopted, and will in appropriate circumstances reasonably implement, a policy addressing repeat infringers:
- Because the Site has no user accounts, accepts no user uploads, and produces no content, the conventional remedy of "terminating the accounts of repeat-infringing users" does not directly apply here. For the purposes of this Site, "repeat infringers" refers principally to repeatedly-noticed source sites — third-party source sites identified in valid notices on multiple occasions.
- Where a source site has been the subject of multiple valid takedown notices, or is found upon review to be engaged in systemic infringement, the Site will apply escalating measures, up to and including the permanent removal of that source site from the source pool, ceasing all links to and reviews of that site.
- This "permanent bad-source ban" mechanism shares a single ban list with the permanent source ban maintained under the Site's CSAM internal controls.
7. Handling for Non-U.S. Operators
The Site is operated by the operator of ohyeah.love (Hong Kong Special Administrative Region). For copyright takedowns, the Site adopts the following parallel arrangements:
-
DMCA (U.S. law): Regardless of where the operating entity is ultimately registered, so long as the Site is directed at U.S. users and/or uses U.S.-based service providers, the Site will voluntarily follow the DMCA § 512 notice-and-takedown framework and (as described in Section 3) complete the U.S. Copyright Office designated-agent registration in order to seek the § 512(d)/(c) safe harbors. If the operating entity is ultimately a non-U.S. entity, the Site will nonetheless maintain a designated agent capable of receiving notices under U.S. law (which may be a U.S.-based agent service provider).
-
European Union (EU): For access directed at the EU, the Site handles copyright complaints by reference to the notice-and-action mechanisms of the EU Digital Services Act (DSA) and the DSM Directive (Directive (EU) 2019/790). EU rightsholders may submit notices to the same email address, [email protected].
-
Brazil: For access directed at Brazil, the Site proceeds by reference to the Brazilian Internet Civil Framework (Marco Civil da Internet, Lei nº 12.965/2014). Please note that under Brazilian law, subject to limited exceptions, the removal of third-party content generally requires a judicial order (ordem judicial). Upon receipt of a compliant notice the Site will nonetheless voluntarily assess and act on manifest infringement in the first instance, while reserving the right to require a judicial order in contested cases.
-
General fallback: Rightsholders anywhere in the world may submit requests through the Designated Agent contact details set out in Section 3; the Site will respond in good faith and within a reasonable time. Where the requirements of different jurisdictions conflict, the Site will apply the most protective measures it can lawfully implement, and may consult legal counsel with respect to specific content.
8. Amendments
The Site may update this Policy from time to time to reflect changes in law or in its operations. Amendments will be posted on this page, and the "Last updated" date at the top will be revised accordingly. Any change to the Designated Agent's information will be contemporaneously updated in the U.S. Copyright Office's registration directory.
This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, 18 U.S.C. § 2257 Statement, and Content/Abuse Reporting Policy.
