Payment Schedule and DMCA Repeat Infringers
We process DMCA Takedown Requests in a timely manner. We have to make a determination about the validity of each take down request, and it takes a lot of our time. It's expensive for us to do, but it's necessary to protect copyright owners and to protect our file hosting business.
An important element of the DMCA legal structure is the notion of "repeat infringer". There is no official definition of what constitutes a "repeat infringer", so we have adopted our own "repeat infringer" policy. Our policy considers how many DMCA take down notices a FileHost.ws user has caused: both as a real number and as a percentage of the total number of files they are storing on our system. Users that fit our definition of "repeat infringer" are banned from our system.
If one of your files has been removed as a result of a DMCA Takedown Request, the system quickly sends you an email notifying you that the file has been deleted.
Each Thursday we will process repeat infringers, and we will pay out all accounts in good standing.
This announcement does not alter or amend any aspect of the Filehost.ws Terms of Service.
