DMCA & Copyright
Last updated: August 13, 2026
vidstations.tv does not host, store, upload, or distribute any video content. All videos played on this site are streamed directly from YouTube via the official YouTube IFrame Player API. We have no ability to remove individual videos from YouTube's servers.
Copyright takedown requests must be sent to YouTube directly.
Because we do not host any video content, DMCA takedown notices sent to vidstations.tv cannot result in the removal of a video. The correct and only effective path is to file your notice with YouTube/Google, who have the legal authority to remove or restrict infringing content.
How to Submit a Copyright Takedown to YouTube
Google/YouTube provides a dedicated web form for submitting DMCA takedown requests. You will need to identify the specific video URL(s) and provide details about the copyrighted work.
- YouTube Copyright Removal Form:
youtube.com/copyright_complaint_form - YouTube Copyright Help Centre:
support.google.com/youtube/topic/2676339 - Google Legal Troubleshooter (general copyright):
support.google.com/legal/troubleshooter/1114905
Once YouTube processes a valid takedown notice and removes or restricts a video, it will automatically become unplayable on vidstations.tv as well.
Playlist Removal Requests
If you are a rights holder and would like a specific video removed from a vidstations.tv station playlist in addition to filing a YouTube takedown, you may use our contact form and we will remove it from our playlist data upon receipt of a valid takedown notice number from YouTube. Choose the Copyright / DMCA topic when you write — the form does not default to DMCA, because most contact is about the site itself.
Please include your YouTube takedown reference number, the video URL, and a brief description of the copyrighted work in question.
Counter-Notification
If you believe your content was removed from YouTube in error, you should submit a counter-notification directly to YouTube following their process:
Repeat Infringers
In accordance with the DMCA, we maintain a policy of terminating accounts of users who are found to be repeat infringers of copyright in our platform features (e.g. station names, chat content, or uploaded artwork).
