About yourBittorrent
 |
yourBittorrent.com is an index of files available to download via the BitTorrent Filesharing Network. As it is an index, it does NOT host, link to, provide or engage in the uploading of any of the files listed. yourBittorrent is an automated website that uses Google to find Bittorrent websites on the internet. These websites are then crawled by bots and information about their files saved are to the database. Again, this is information ABOUT the files, also known as the .torrent files. The actual file itself is not stored on our servers.We have little control over our automated indexing process. Our policy is to NOT pro-actively ban keywords, as legit content will likely be banned aswell. We do however fully comply with the European Union Copyright Directive (EUCD). Infringement notices are treated with our highest priority and we take appropriate actions to protect copyright holders' rights. |
Content Removal
 |
If your copyrighted material has been indexed by yourBittorrent, you can request its removal by sending us a so-called "infringement notice". However, these notices have to follow a few important steps, to allow us to process them.
Please read the steps below carefully. Incomplete/invalid notices will not be processed by us!
|
We will verify the information that you send us and get the content removed if we accept your notification.
Please note that you will be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys' fees) if you materially misrepresent that a product or activity is infringing your copyrights.
Indeed, in a recent case (please see http://www.onlinepolicy.org/action/legpolicy/opg_v_diebold/ for more information), a company that sent an infringement notification seeking removal of online materials that were protected by the fair use doctrine was ordered to pay such costs and attorneys fees. The company agreed to pay $125,000. Accordingly, if you are not sure whether material available online infringes your copyright, we suggest that you first contact an attorney.
Decency Promise
Unlike other torrent sites we DO handle off most infringement notifications! However, if you keep sending us emails every day (even after the torrent has been deleted and we have warned you about the emails still coming in) we will ignore notifications coming from your emailaddress. Also, sending our hostingprovider, domain registrar, or others related to yourBittorrent complaints will also not help you (not even you Brazzers!)*, as we closed deals with all parties to have them ignore their abuse emailaddresses if the email concerns yourBittorrent.Please keep also in mind that THERE ARE SCAMS OUT THERE that ask money to help you delete content from yourBittorrent. You do NOT have to use companies with fancy names like TakeDownPiracy or Removeyourcontent to get infringing content deleted from yourBittorrent.com. Simply send us an email with the required information and we will process the notification as soon as possible!
* Brazzers is a hypocrite US/CA-based company that owns youtube-like websites which encourage people to share copyrighted content.
