DMCA Copyright Policy

Last Updated: 22 January 2026

AnimeOshi ("AnimeOshi," "we," "us," or "our") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects all users of our website, services, and applications (collectively, the "Platform") to do the same.

In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 ("DMCA"), 17 U.S.C. §512, AnimeOshi has adopted this policy to address claims of copyright infringement and to comply with applicable safe harbor requirements.

AnimeOshi intends to rely upon and invoke the safe harbor provisions of the DMCA, including 17 U.S.C. §512(c).

1. Designated Copyright Agent

Pursuant to 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(2), AnimeOshi has designated a Copyright Agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement.

Designated Agent:
DMCA Agent – Legal Department of AnimeOshi
Email: legal@kasagilabo.com

The Designated Agent's information will be registered with the U.S. Copyright Office and maintained as required by law.

All DMCA notices must be sent to the Designated Agent listed above.

2. Submitting a DMCA Takedown Notice

If you believe that material available on or through the Platform infringes a copyright you own or control, you may submit a written notification to our Designated Agent. To be effective under the DMCA, your notice must include all of the following:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or a representative list, if applicable)
  3. Identification of the allegedly infringing material, including sufficient information (such as URLs) to allow AnimeOshi to locate it
  4. Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address
  5. 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
  6. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf

Incomplete or defective notices may not be processed.

3. Response to DMCA Notices

Upon receipt of a valid DMCA takedown notice, AnimeOshi will, as appropriate and required by law:

4. Counter-Notification Procedure

If you believe that material you posted was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to the Designated Agent. A valid counter-notification must include:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature
  2. Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location where it appeared before removal
  3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification
  4. Your name, address, telephone number, and email address
  5. A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your judicial district (or an appropriate U.S. jurisdiction if outside the United States) and agreeing to accept service of process from the original complainant

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, AnimeOshi may restore the removed material within 10–14 business days, unless the original complainant notifies us that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the alleged infringement.

5. Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with the DMCA, AnimeOshi has adopted and reasonably implements a policy for terminating, in appropriate circumstances, users who are repeat infringers.

AnimeOshi maintains records of copyright infringement notices and enforces account termination, access restrictions, or other appropriate measures against users who repeatedly violate copyright laws, consistent with applicable law and at AnimeOshi's discretion.

6. No Editorial Control / Financial Benefit Disclaimer

AnimeOshi does not pre-screen, approve, select, modify, or exercise editorial control over user-submitted content, which is made available at the direction of users.

AnimeOshi does not receive a direct financial benefit from infringing activity where it has the right and ability to control such activity, within the meaning of 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(1)(B).

7. Misrepresentations

Any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing, or that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be subject to liability under 17 U.S.C. §512(f), including damages, costs, and attorneys' fees. AnimeOshi reserves the right to pursue such remedies.

8. No Waiver of Rights

Nothing in this DMCA Policy limits AnimeOshi's right to remove content, restrict access, or terminate accounts for violations of our Terms of Use or other policies, nor does it waive any rights or remedies available under law or equity.

9. Policy Updates

AnimeOshi reserves the right to modify this DMCA Policy at any time. Changes will be effective upon posting to the Platform.
