Copyright

Memie provides users with an online platform and social media website (the “Memie Platform”) and allows users to upload and share images, Gif animation, videos, and other content to the Memie Platform. We take the rights of intellectual property owners very seriously and comply as a service provider with all applicable provisions of the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act. As stated in our End User License Agreement and Terms of Service, Memie enforces its policy barring the upload of infringing material onto the Memie Platform. We respect the rights of copyright owners and we ask that you do the same.

Copyright is the right of an author of a creative work to prevent others from using that work, including performing or displaying the work publicly, reproducing a work, distributing a work, or using it to create new works (a derivative work). We strongly encourage users of the Memie Platform to familiarize themselves with copyright law before uploading content on the Memie Platform. We offer the following links to copyright law resources for informational purposes only:

Copyright can cover almost any creative expression, including photographs, images, videos, audio/visual creations, live streams, articles, and other works of authorship. If you did not create a work and do not have the consent of the copyright holder to publish or use it (e.g., upload it to the Memie Platform), your use of that work may be unauthorized and you may be subject to liability for copyright infringement.

If you upload content and you don’t own the copyright and don’t have permission to upload, reproduce, distribute, publicly perform, or create a derivative work of that content or any portion of that content, you may be sued by the copyright owner thereof for copyright infringement. The damages for copyright infringement can be severe. In the United States, statutory damages (available to a copyright owner without proving actual harm) can range from $750 - $30,000 per work infringed, and run as high as $150,000 for willful infringement. Damages vary in other jurisdictions.

If we are notified that material you have uploaded to the Memie Platform infringes someone’s copyright, we will notify you and take down the content you posted. This is required by law. If you persist in uploading unauthorized content, we will, ban you from using the Memie Platform.

The “fair use” doctrine is an affirmative defense to copyright infringement in the United States that allows the use of a work for certain limited purposes such as criticism, commentary, parody, news reporting, research, and teaching. Fair use is a complicated doctrine, and it is an open question whether a particular use of a copyrighted work constitutes fair use. You are responsible for the content you upload to the Memie Platform and may be liable for money damages if it is determined that you wrongly assumed that your use of certain content constituted “fair use”.

We offer the following links to various copyright law resources relating to the fair use doctrine for informational purposes only:

The extent to which content uploaded to the Memie Platform makes use of a copyrighted work may not matter: even the use of a small portion of a copyrighted work may cause you to be liable for copyright infringement.

A copyright notice (i.e., © or ℗) is generally not required for a work to be protected by copyright law.

Distributing content containing copyrighted material without the copyright owner’s permission may be a violation of copyright law even if you give the content away for free.

There is no exception for “private” copying in U.S. law. Even if you share a work with only a small group of your friends or family, you could still be liable for copyright infringement.

You can be liable for copyright infringement even if you give attribution to the owner or author of the copyrighted content.

Even if you used your creativity to create new content that contains another person’s copyrighted work, you may be liable for copyright infringement.

The only way that you can know for certain that content does not infringe anyone else’s copyright is if you created the entire work yourself without using anyone else’s copyrighted materials.
