At Mountain Interactive, we take copyright infringement seriously, especially when it involves the unauthorized use of our games, assets, or intellectual property. To protect our content, we adhere to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), a U.S. law that provides a legal process for copyright holders to request the removal of their stolen or unlawfully used content from platforms.
What is the DMCA?
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) was enacted in 1998 to combat online copyright infringement. It allows copyright holders, like Mountain Interactive, to request that platforms remove or disable access to content that violates their rights. This law applies to a wide range of digital content, including games, art assets, sound effects, and other intellectual property.
When someone uses copyrighted content without permission, the rightful owner can file a DMCA takedown notice to request that the infringing content be taken down from the platform where it is hosted (such as Roblox, websites, or social media). The DMCA ensures that content creators and companies can protect their work from being copied or stolen.
