DMCA Notice & Takedown Policy for Project Entropy In the vast, ever-expanding universe of Project Entropy, we believe in protecting the creative forces that bring our world to life. From original soundscapes and character models to immersive environments and lore-driven assets, our digital frontier is fueled by imagination—and safeguarded by law. To uphold the integrity of both our creations and those of others, Project Entropy maintains a strict policy for addressing copyright infringement claims, in full compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). 1. Our Philosophy on Intellectual Property Project Entropy represents a fusion of storytelling, technology, and interactive design. The game's core elements—including its audiovisual identity, in-game systems, world-building assets, and narrative structure—are protected under applicable copyright laws. Likewise, we recognize and respect the rights of independent creators, streamers, writers, and artists who may share or display their work within or alongside our game. 2. Submitting a DMCA Takedown Notice If you are a copyright owner (or authorized to act on behalf of one), and you believe your work has been used without permission on our website, forums, or affiliated services, you may send us a takedown notice. Your notification must include the following: A clear and detailed description of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed. The exact location of the allegedly infringing material (such as a direct URL or filename). Your full legal name, along with a valid email address and phone number. A good faith statement that the material is not authorized by you, your agent, or the law. A declaration that the information provided is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright holder or legally allowed to act on their behalf. Your electronic or physical signature. Incomplete requests may be delayed or disregarded, so please ensure all information is present and clearly formatted. 3. What Happens After Submission Once we receive a valid takedown notice: We will review the claim and assess its legitimacy. If the claim is substantiated, the infringing material will be removed or restricted. We will contact the party responsible for the content to inform them of the takedown and provide an opportunity to respond via a counter-notice. We do not tolerate the unauthorized use of copyrighted content, but we also protect the right to fair use and lawful expression. 4. Submitting a Counter-Notice If you believe content you posted was wrongfully removed, you may file a counter-notification. This response must include: Identification of the material removed and its prior location. A statement under penalty of perjury that you believe the removal was due to error or misidentification. Your full name, physical address, and agreement to the jurisdiction of the appropriate legal authority. A statement that you accept legal service from the original complainant. Your signature (electronic or physical). If no legal action is taken by the complainant within a reasonable timeframe, we may restore the removed content. 5. Enforcement & Repeat Violations Project Entropy enforces a zero-tolerance policy for repeated or intentional copyright violations. Users who consistently engage in infringing behavior may have their access suspended or permanently revoked. We reserve the right to act on credible claims of abuse to preserve the integrity of our creative ecosystem. 6. Fan Content & Community Expression We encourage players to engage with Project Entropy through fan fiction, machinima, streaming, reviews, theories, and creative commentary. However, reuploading original game assets (e.g. soundtracks, source files, proprietary art) without permission is prohibited. When in doubt, reach out—we’re happy to clarify what’s allowed. The entropy of the universe may grow, but in the domain of digital creation, structure and respect matter. Thank you for helping us protect what’s been built—and for shaping what’s yet to come.
