Copyright and Source Policy

Third-party rights

Publishers, authors, photographers, and other rights holders keep their rights in their content. BriefScroll does not claim ownership of third-party articles, images, or feeds.

Feed images and source media

An RSS item, Atom item, Open Graph tag, Twitter card tag, or article image URL is a technical indicator, not a full copyright license by itself.

BriefScroll may direct-render those source-provided image URLs when no restriction is detected. It should not proxy, cache, resize, optimize, store, or rehost third-party images unless the license, source terms, user rights, or explicit permission allows it.

BriefScroll should honor media license, copyright, restriction, and blocked or deleted status metadata when feeds provide it, and remove images or content when a valid request requires it.

User responsibility

You are responsible for the sources, files, URLs, and imports you add. Do not add content you are not allowed to access or use.

Copyright notices

Send notices to TODO DMCA contact. A notice should include the following information:

• A physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed.
• Information reasonably sufficient for us to find the material, such as the BriefScroll URL or source URL.
• Contact information where we can reach you.
• A statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorized by the rights holder, its agent, or the law.
• A statement that the information is accurate and that you are authorized to act for the rights holder.

Repeat issues

BriefScroll may remove content and may restrict or close accounts that repeatedly submit infringing material or ignore source restrictions.

Licensed access

If licensed content, official publisher APIs, commercial feed access, or image rights would improve compliance or the reader experience, the product plan should name that paid option clearly.
