Copyright

Bands use Bandstand to keep private charts for their own rehearsals and gigs. Each band’s content is visible only to its members; nothing is published. Still, if you believe something stored here infringes your copyright, tell us and we’ll act on it promptly.

Sending a notice

Email copyright@bandstand.info with:

• the work you believe is infringed;
• enough detail for us to find the material (a song title and the band you believe has it, if you know);
• your name, address, phone number and email;
• a statement that you believe in good faith that the use isn’t authorized by the owner, its agent or the law;
• a statement, under penalty of perjury, that your notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for them;
• your physical or electronic signature.

When we receive a valid notice we remove or disable the material and tell the band’s admins.

Counter-notice

If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake, email the same address with: what was removed and where it was; a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you believe in good faith it was removed by mistake or misidentification; your name, address and phone number; your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your district (or, outside the US, any district where we may be found); and your signature. We pass it to the person who sent the notice, and may restore the material after 10 business days unless they tell us they have gone to court.

Repeat infringement

We close the accounts of people who repeatedly upload infringing material.
