People post covers here. If you own a musical work or a recording and believe something on Rate My Singing infringes it, tell us and we will act.

Designated agent

Notices go to our designated agent, registered with the U.S. Copyright Office:

• Name: Bhuwan Shrestha
• Service: Rate My Singing (operated by Bhuwan Shrestha, an individual)
• Address: Swoyambhu, Kathmandu 44600, Nepal
• Email: bhuwanenoch@gmail.com
• Phone: +977 985-141-1693

Sending a notice

To be effective, a notice must include all of the following:

• A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or someone authorised to act for them.
• Identification of the work you say has been infringed.
• A link to the specific recording, so we can find it. Every song has its own address in the app.
• Your address, telephone number and email address.
• A statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised 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 authorised to act for the owner.

What we do

We remove or disable access to the material promptly, and tell the person who posted it what was removed and why.

Counter-notices

If your recording was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you can send a counter-notice to the same agent. It must include your signature, identification of what was removed and where it was, a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith it was removed by mistake, your contact details, and your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address — or, if you are outside the United States, to any judicial district in which this service may be found, and to accepting service from the person who complained.

If we receive a valid counter-notice we forward it to whoever complained. Unless they tell us they have filed a court action, we may restore the material in 10 to 14 business days.

Repeat infringers

Accounts that repeatedly infringe are terminated. We keep a record of notices in order to identify them.

Misuse

Knowingly misrepresenting that material is infringing carries liability for damages under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). Please be sure before you send.
