SECTION

Overview & scope

TMCDN is a hosting and delivery platform for legitimate content. We prohibit illegal materials and policy violations and act quickly when we detect them or receive credible reports.

SECTION

Why enforcement is strict

Harm reduction: illegal files endanger users and partners.
Creator rights: piracy deprives authors of revenue and undermines ecosystems.
Legal obligations: hosts must respond expeditiously to notices and court orders.

SECTION

Definitions

Illegal content: materials whose possession, distribution or access is unlawful.
Infringing content: works uploaded without authorization from the rights holder.
Notice: a report from a rights holder or authorized agent identifying specific material.

SECTION

Prohibited content

Copyright-infringing files without authorization or license.
Malware, exploits, or files designed to exfiltrate data or cause harm.
Content illegal under applicable law or violating court orders.

SECTION

Detection & screening

Automated screening: hash checks against blocklists.
Heuristics & signals: file-type validation and metadata patterns.
User reports: prioritized manual review when detailed evidence is provided.

SECTION

Takedown notices (how to report)

Rights holders and users can report abuse at /abuse. Include direct URLs or file IDs, a description of the work, legal basis and a statement of good faith.

Exact URLs or file IDs (no generic search queries).
Proof of ownership or authorization for IP claims.
Jurisdiction / legal basis (for example DMCA §512, EU or Swiss law).

SECTION

Counter-notice & appeals

If you believe a removal was erroneous, submit a counter-notice at /appeal with file/URL, case ID (if any), your role and reasoning (for example license, authorization or other legal basis).
