Copyright policy

• Charts and lyrics are added by each band for its own use and are only visible to that band’s members. Rubber Band doesn’t include a built-in library of lyrics or chord charts.
• The song catalog lists song titles, artists, and details such as key, tempo and length. It doesn’t include lyrics or charts.
• Public band pages show what a band chooses to publish, such as its bio and photos.

Our Terms of Service require everyone to only add content they have the right to use.

Send a written notice to our copyright agent that includes:

1. Your physical or electronic signature (typing your full name works for email).
2. The copyrighted work you believe is being infringed, such as the song title and writers.
3. Where the material is in Rubber Band, with enough detail for us to find it — for example a link, the band’s name, and the song or page it’s on. Because charts are private to each band, a band name and song title is often the most useful thing you can give us.
4. Your name, mailing address, phone number and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use isn’t authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
6. A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act for the owner.

Please put “Copyright notice” in the subject line so it reaches the right person quickly.

Be careful: under the law, anyone who knowingly misrepresents that material is infringing can be liable for damages. If you’re not sure, consider speaking to a lawyer first.

• We remove or disable access to the material quickly once we receive a complete notice.
• We let the band’s owner, and the person who added the material if we know who it was, know what was removed and why.
• We keep a record of the notice.

If you believe material was removed because of a mistake or because it was misidentified, you can send our copyright agent a counter-notice that includes:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. What was removed and where it was in Rubber Band before it was removed.
3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief it was removed as a result of a mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address and phone number.
5. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, if you live outside the United States, any district where Rubber Band can be found), and that you’ll accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice or their agent.

We’ll send your counter-notice to the person who sent the original notice. Unless they tell us within 10 business days that they’ve gone to court to keep the material down, we may restore it 10 to 14 business days after we receive your counter-notice.

We close the accounts of people who repeatedly infringe copyright, and we may remove a band whose members do. We may also remove content or close accounts without a formal notice when infringement is clear.
