Copyright and Intellectual Property Policy & Infringement Notification

Although SeeqPod does not host content it encourages the adherence to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Along with Google, Yahoo and Microsoft, SeeqPod is a member of The Computer and Communications Industry Association (CCIA ) which advocates Fair Use of copyrighted content on the Internet. The CCIA legal team is supported by its members and has promoted the fact that courts have repeatedly held that the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and the doctrine of Fair Use shield search engines from liability. Without the ability to link to hosted content on the Internet the search engine industry would not be able to exist. Removing links to content on the Internet that cannot be found anywhere else is a form of censorship and counter to the principles Free Speech.

SeeqPod respects the intellectual property of others, and we ask our users to do the same. SeeqPod has no responsibility for content on other web sites that you may find or access when using SeeqPod’s products or services. Material available on or through other web sites may be protected by copyright and the intellectual property laws of the United States and/or other countries. The terms of use of those web sites, and not the SeeqPod Terms of Service, govern your use of that material.

It is SeeqPod’s policy, in appropriate circumstances and at its discretion, to disable and/or terminate the accounts of users who may infringe or repeatedly infringe the copyrights or other intellectual property rights of SeeqPod and/or others.
