When a person creates an original work that is fixed in a physical medium, that person automatically owns copyright to the work. Copyright ownership gives the owner the exclusive right to use the work in certain, specific ways. Many types of works are eligible for copyright protection, including audiovisual words, sound recordings and musical compositions, written works, visual works, video games and computer software, and dramatic works.
In some circumstances, it is possible to use a copyrighted work without infringing the owner’s copyright. For example, in the United States, copyrights are limited by the doctrine of “fair use,” which permits certain uses of copyrighted material, such as parody, satire, and social commentary.
Anime Ape accepts unsolicited designs from independent artists who are informed and have agreed to Anime Ape’s policies concerning the intellectual property rights of others. All designs selected by Anime Ape are new, original, and/or transformative works that may parody, satirize, or provide social commentary on other copyrighted works. Anime Ape and the selected designs make only fair use of the copyrighted works of others. Anime Ape respects the copyrights of others, and Anime Ape is not affiliated with the owners of the copyrights to which the selected designs may refer.
It is Anime Ape policy to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512, and other applicable laws. Anime Ape’s response may include removing or disabling access to a design claimed to be infringing. If Anime Ape removes or disables access in response to such a notice, Anime Ape will make a good-faith attempt to contact the independent artist who submitted the design to Anime Ape so that the artist may make a counter-notification pursuant to Section 512(g)(2) and (3) of the DMCA.
