Copyright & takedown notices
What Videojam is
Videojam is a discovery layer for music videos that are already public on YouTube. Every video plays through YouTube's own embedded IFrame player, served from YouTube's own servers. Videojam hosts no video or audio files of its own — it stores links, titles, and genre tags that point at content YouTube is already distributing.
Because playback and hosting are YouTube's, YouTube's own Content ID and takedown systems are the primary controls for a rightsholder: when a video is monetised, blocked, or removed on YouTube, that change is reflected here automatically — the embed simply stops playing.
Reporting a copyright concern
If you are a rightsholder (or authorised to act for one) and you believe a video surfaced on Videojam should not be listed here, email our designated contact:
Alan More — videojam.live@gmail.com
Please put “Copyright notice” in the subject line.
A complete notice includes:
- Identification of the copyrighted work you say is infringed.
- The Videojam URL of the video (or its YouTube video ID) so we can locate the exact listing.
- Your name, organisation, and contact details.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorised by the rightsholder or the law.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are the rightsholder or authorised to act on their behalf.
- Your physical or electronic signature.
What we do, and how fast
We aim to review and action valid notices within 48 hours. When we action a notice we remove the listing from public surfaces on Videojam(the removal is reversible on our side). We do not host the underlying video, so we cannot remove it from YouTube — a notice to YouTube itself is the route for that.
Counter-notice
If your video was de-listed from Videojam and you believe that was a mistake or misidentification, email the same address ( videojam.live@gmail.com) with a counter-notice that identifies the material and its Videojam URL, your contact details, and a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the listing was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification. We will review and, where appropriate, restore the listing.
This page describes Videojam's own listing process and is not legal advice. Notices about the underlying video files should be directed to YouTube.
The engineering behind this process: why copyright moderation is a provenance problem, not a content problem.
