Riluno copyright policy
In effect from 29 August 2026. Post only what you have the right to post. If you did not make it, and you do not have permission or a legal basis such as quotation or parody, do not upload it.
Reporting an infringement
Send a notice to copyright@riluno.org. To be actionable it needs all of the following. A notice missing any of these cannot be acted on, and we will say so rather than ignore it.
- Identification of the work you say is infringed.
- A link to the specific video or comment on Riluno. A whole-account or “everything by this person” complaint is not specific enough to act on.
- Your name and an address we can reply to.
- A statement that you hold the right, or are authorised to act for whoever does.
- A statement that the information in your notice is accurate, and that you understand a knowingly false notice causes material to be removed wrongly.
What happens next
A person reads the notice. Where it is actionable, the material is withheld from public view without waiting for the uploader to respond, and the uploader is told their video was removed following a copyright complaint. We do not disclose your identity to them as part of that notice.
Withholding is not a finding that you are right. It is the cautious action available while the question is open, and it is reversible.
If your video was removed and you disagree
You can contest it. A refusal on your own content can be appealed once, from the app or the website; a person other than the automated screen reconsiders it. While an appeal is open the video is not public. See enforcement and appeals for how that works and what you are told.
You can also write to copyright@riluno.org stating why you have the right to post the material — that you own it, are licensed, or that the use is covered by an exception such as quotation, caricature, parody, or pastiche. Say so plainly and identify the video. If your explanation is good, the material is restored.
Repeat infringement
Repeated infringement is not treated as a series of unrelated incidents. Valid notices are recorded against the account they concern, and every item covered by a valid notice is removed.
An account that repeatedly infringes can be suspended. A suspension stops it signing in, ends its existing sessions, and takes everything it has published out of public view — not only the infringing items.
There is no fixed number of notices that triggers this automatically. A person decides, and records why. That is a deliberate choice: an automatic count would suspend accounts on the strength of notices nobody had checked, and a false notice is easier to send than a true one.
What automated screening does and does not do
Riluno's automated screen includes a copyright signal, and it can raise a video for a person to look at — a visible watermark, a broadcast overlay, footage that does not look self-made. That is a prompt for human attention, nothing more.
It is not content matching. Riluno operates no reference database of rights-holder material and performs no fingerprint comparison, so it cannot tell you who owns a piece of music or footage, and it will miss infringement that looks ordinary. Riluno depends on notices from rights holders, and answers them.
Trade marks and impersonation
Complaints about trade mark use or impersonation also go to copyright@riluno.org, with the same specificity: the mark or identity concerned, the exact video, and your basis for complaining.
