DMCA & Copyright Policy
Last updated: August 2026
bla5k respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects the same of our visitors and partners. This page explains our copyright policy and how to report content you believe infringes your copyright, in line with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).
Our copyright policy
bla5k is a directory of links and information about third-party tools, websites, and services. We do not host user-uploaded media, and we do not host or store copyrighted files — including movies, music, software, or ebooks. Our listings link to official, licensed sources only, and we do not add sites that distribute pirated or copyright-infringing content.
If a listing includes a description, screenshot, logo, or excerpt, it is provided for informational purposes only, typically under fair use (criticism, commentary, and identification of the listed product or service). If you believe any content on this Site infringes your copyright, you may file a notice as described below, and we will act promptly.
Filing a DMCA takedown notice
To report content you believe infringes your copyright, please send a written notice that includes all of the following information:
- Your identification — your full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
- Identification of the copyrighted work — the work you claim is infringed, or a representative list if multiple works are involved.
- Identification of the infringing material — the specific URL(s) or location(s) on bla5k where the material appears, with enough detail for us to locate it.
- Your statement of good faith — a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- Your statement of accuracy — a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
- Your signature — a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized representative.
Where to send your notice
Send DMCA notices to our designated agent:
- Email: [email protected]
- Subject line: DMCA Takedown Notice
- Alternative: use our Contact page and mark the message “DMCA Takedown Notice”.
We respond to valid notices promptly, usually within 1–3 business days. Under the DMCA, knowingly submitting a false or misleading notice may subject you to liability. Please make sure your claim is legitimate before filing.
Counter-notification
If you believe material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notification. It must include:
- Your name, address, phone number, and physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material removed and its prior location.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification.
- Your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your judicial district (or, if outside the U.S., any judicial district in which bla5k may be found), and your agreement to accept service of process from the party who filed the original notice.
Repeat infringers
In appropriate circumstances, bla5k will terminate the accounts or listings of repeat infringers, consistent with the DMCA and our own quality standards.
