DMCA Policy

amine is a discovery and aggregation platform. We do not host, store, or distribute video files, manga scans, or other copyrighted media. Our service surfaces metadata (titles, cover art, synopses, episode information) from public APIs and aggregates stream links from third-party providers.

If you believe that content accessible through amine infringes your copyright under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512), please follow the procedure below to submit a takedown notice.

A valid DMCA takedown notice must include all of the following:

1. Identification of the copyrighted work — a description of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed, or if multiple works are covered by a single notice, a representative list.
2. Identification of the infringing material — the specific URL(s) on amine.watch where the allegedly infringing content appears, described in enough detail that we can locate it.
3. Your contact information — your full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
4. Good-faith statement — a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
5. Accuracy statement — a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on their behalf.
6. Your signature — your physical or electronic signature.

Notices that are missing any of these elements cannot be acted upon. Please review your notice carefully before submitting.

Submit your DMCA notice by opening an issue on our GitHub repository and selecting the “DMCA / Copyright Notice” issue template, or by emailing the contact address listed in the repository.

Please mark your submission clearly as a “DMCA Takedown Notice” in the subject or title. We will acknowledge receipt and respond within 5 business days.

1. Review — We verify that the notice contains all required elements and that the identified content is actually accessible through amine.
2. Action — If the notice is valid, we will promptly disable access to the identified content on amine. Because amine does not host content directly, this typically means removing or blocking the relevant link, embed, or metadata entry.
3. Notification — Where reasonably possible, we will notify the affected upstream provider so they may take action on their end.
4. Record — We maintain records of all DMCA notices received. Repeat infringers may have their access to amine terminated.

If you believe content was removed as a result of a mistaken or misidentified DMCA notice, you may submit a counter-notice. A valid counter-notice must include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature
2. Identification of the material that was removed and the URL where it appeared
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification
4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located

Submit counter-notices to the same contact address as takedown notices. Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice we will review the claim and, where appropriate, restore the content within 10–14 business days unless the original complainant files a court action.

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly misrepresents that material or activity is infringing, or that material was removed by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees. Please ensure your notice is accurate before submitting.

Because amine aggregates links from third-party providers rather than hosting content itself, the most direct and effective route for many copyright holders is to contact those upstream providers directly. We will cooperate fully with any investigation and can provide information about which upstream source we were aggregating from, where known.
