cinrift operates as an index and discovery interface over movie and TV metadata obtained from The Movie Database (TMDB). When a user opens a watch page, the page renders an embed frame whose source URL is provided by a third-party domain. cinrift does not store or transcode any of the resulting media. We do not pre-fetch, mirror, or cache third-party media files.

cinrift does not:

• Host, store, or transmit any video or audio file
• Upload content to any third-party streaming service
• Maintain a database of copyrighted works
• Generate or modify subtitles, captions, or metadata

Our designated agent for service of DMCA notifications is the site operator. The current contact channel is the email address listed below. This designation is published in good faith; it is not currently a registration on file with the U.S. Copyright Office's Directory of Designated Agents.

Preferred format: a single email with the subject line beginning with DMCA. Email is the only accepted delivery channel at this time.

To be effective under 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3), a notification must include the following six elements. Notices that omit any element are returned without action.

• A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or a representative list of such works at a single online site.
• Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, with information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material. The TMDB numeric ID (for example 1399 for Game of Thrones) and the specific cinrift URL are the most useful identifiers.
• Contact information for the complaining party: name, address, telephone number, and email address.
• A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

After we receive a notice that contains all six elements, the following steps are performed by the operator. The exact timing depends on the operator's availability; no SLA is offered.

1. The TMDB ID(s) for the affected work(s) are added to src/lib/blocklist.ts in the source repository.
2. The site is rebuilt and redeployed via ./build.sh to Cloudflare Pages.
3. The blocked ID is removed from every list response: home page rows, category pages, genre pages, search results, the public /api/trending feed, and the sitemap.
4. Direct URLs (/movie/{id}, /tv/{id}, /movies-like/..., /tv-shows-like/...) return HTTP 404. The watch URL is blocked in the player component and the worker proxy.
5. A reply is sent to the address on the notice confirming removal. The reply is informational and is not a legal opinion.

We do not currently implement a separate notice-and-keep system. We do not pass notices through to the third-party embed providers; rights-holders who want to remove a file from a specific upstream must contact that upstream directly.

If you believe that material you (or your client) was responsible for was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter- notification. Under 17 U.S.C. §512(g)(3), the counter- notification must include:

• Your physical or electronic signature
• Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled
• 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
• Your name, address, and telephone number
• A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of a federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which the service provider may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the notification or an agent of that person

Send counter-notifications to the same address. We do not currently forward counter-notifications to the original complainant automatically; the operator decides, in good faith, whether to restore the content.

cinrift is a single-tenant site with no public user accounts on the indexed pages. We do not maintain user accounts that post infringing content. The "repeat infringer" framework in 17 U.S.C. §512(i) is not directly applicable to a directory of this kind. If a rights-holder sends a notice for a work that was already the subject of a valid prior notice, the blocklist entry remains in place.

Under 17 U.S.C. §512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability for damages. We reserve the right to disregard notices that contain demonstrably false statements and to refer such notices to the sender's ISP or counsel.
