Copyright & DMCA Policy

1. unSUB hosts no audio or video content

unSUB does not host, store, stream, transmit, or make available any audio or video content of any kind. There is no media player on this site, no download function, no embedded or proxied playback of any film or television programme, and no link to any unauthorized source.

unSUB is a discovery and availability service. Every "where to watch" link on this site points to an authorized, licensed streaming provider, rental storefront, or digital retailer — the same destinations the rightsholder has itself licensed. We send viewers to those services. We are not an alternative to them.

2. What a title page actually contains

A page such as unsub.tv/title/… is a listing. It is assembled from the following, and nothing else:

• Descriptive metadata— title, release year, runtime, genre, content rating, language, cast and crew credits, and a short plot synopsis. Sourced from The Movie Database (TMDB) under a licence from Xperi, TMDB's parent company.
• Streaming availability — which licensed services currently carry the title, at what price, and until when. Sourced from the Streaming Availability API by Movie of the Night under a commercial subscription.
• Attributed promotional thumbnails — poster and key-art images supplied through the licensed sources above, displayed at thumbnail and listing scale to identify the title being described. No frame, clip, or excerpt of any audiovisual work is reproduced.
• unSUB's own editorial and analytical output — our subscription-value scoring, cost analysis, watchlist tooling, and recommendations. This is original work created by unSUB.

Full source and attribution details are on our Data & attributions page. unSUB is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any streaming service or studio; all names and logos are trademarks of their respective owners.

3. Our response to copyright complaints

We respect copyright and we respond to every properly-submitted notice. unSUB has a policy of removing material that is the subject of a valid notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.

Because we host no media, most complaints directed at unSUB concern an image or a listing rather than a copy of a work. We will act on those the same way — but we will also tell you, plainly, when we believe a notice has been issued in error, and we may file a counter-notice.

4. Submitting a notice of claimed infringement

If you own a copyright, or are authorized to act on the owner's behalf, and you believe material on unSUB infringes that copyright, send a written notice to our designated agent below. To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your notice must include substantially all of the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed — or, if multiple works at a single site are covered by one notice, a representative list of those works.
3. Identification of the material claimed to be infringing, with enough detail for us to locate it. Please give the complete URL, and identify the specific element you are claiming — an image, a block of text, or the page as a whole. A notice that names only a page, without identifying what on it is said to infringe, cannot be acted on.
4. Information reasonably sufficient for us to contact you: name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right allegedly infringed.

Please note that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. Automated enforcement does not suspend that obligation.

5. Designated agent

unSUB LLC has designated the following agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement, and has registered that agent with the United States Copyright Office pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(2).

Email is the fastest route and is checked daily. Notices sent to any other address may be delayed.

6. Counter-notification

If material of yours was removed from unSUB and you believe it was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notification under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g) to the agent above. It must include substantially all of the following:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed or disabled, and the location at which it appeared before removal.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located — or, if your address is outside the United States, of any judicial district in which unSUB LLC may be found — and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notice, or an agent of that person.

On receiving a valid counter-notification we will forward it to the original complainant. If they do not notify us within 10 business days that they have filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the activity, we may restore the removed material in not less than 10 nor more than 14 business days following receipt.

7. Contact

Copyright notices and counter-notices must go to the designated agent in section 5. For any other question about this policy:
