(b) Licenses to User Content. (i) By submitting User Content to the Site or in connection with any Service, you automatically grant to us a non-exclusive, transferable, royalty free, license throughout the universe, and in any manner and media now known or hereafter developed, to prepare, review, copy, reproduce, convert, host, distribute, transmit, stream, publicly perform, display, modify, adapt, excerpt (in whole or in part), publish, promote, advertise, market, create derivative works from, and otherwise use all or any portion of the User Content, and to grant and authorize sublicenses of the foregoing, in connection with the Site and Services and the functionality thereof; provided, however, we will not sell or otherwise commercially distribute for a fee User Content except in connection with your express use of a Service or program offered by us that provides such functionality. Except as may be specifically provided in connection with any particular Service, we have no obligation to pay you or anyone else any amounts, including record or publishing royalties, performance fees, license fees, or union, guild, or collective bargaining fees, for the distribution, public performance, or other uses of your User Content as authorized in these Terms and Conditions.

If you have affiliated with a performance rights organization (“PRO”) with respect to your public performance rights, such as BMI, ASCAP, or SESAC, then you may be prohibited from granting the same rights to us, or a grant of public performance rights to us may prevent a PRO from collecting royalties on your behalf. In certain situations a PRO may require that you provide the PRO with notice if you are granting public performance rights to another party. If you have an agreement with a PRO that includes such a provision, you are solely responsible for providing such notice to the PRO. You understand that no fees or payment of any kind whatsoever shall be due to any PRO or music publisher for use of your User Content as authorized in these Terms and Conditions.

(iv) The grant of rights in this Section 3(b) will survive your removal of User Content from the Site, the termination of your use of the Site or Service, or any other termination of these Terms and Conditions unless we receive written notice of termination of this license from you, at which point this license will expire and we will stop using the specified User Content within thirty (30) days; provided, however, that with respect to Site Downloads, the grant of rights to end users will survive your removal of such User Content from the Site indefinitely. (c) Without limitation of the rights granted herein, we and you may enter into additional agreements to confirm the rights granted herein, expand scope of rights granted to us, or otherwise with respect to the User Content, and to the extent such other agreements conflict with these Terms and Conditions, the terms of such other agreements shall control.

TopPrivacy Policy
Revised as of April 14, 2017
Welcome to the website LineforLine.com (the "Site") and related platforms, products, and services available on or from the Site (the "Services") are owned and operated by LINE FOR LINE Incorporated d/b/a LineforLine(together with its affiliates, successors, and assigns hereinafter referred to as "our", "we", "us", or "LineforLine").
The Site is a music-oriented content and information website that connects musical artists with venues, festivals, brands, publishers, labels, and fans. Registered users may post music, sound recordings, musical works, compositions, videos, photographs, pictures, graphics, names, likeness, images, biographical information, and other information or materials owned and/or created by them and can view each other's profiles ("Profiles"), communicate with each other, share photos, post comments, and describe their interests. Registered users can change their Profile information at any time and can control how other users and the Site communicates with them.
LineforLine cares about online privacy and wants you to know how we collect, use and share and protect information about you and the choices you have regarding our use of your information. If you have any questions concerning this Privacy Policy, please email us at privacy@lineforline.com. We may change or add to this Privacy Policy from time-to-time, so we encourage you to review it periodically.
SCOPE
This Privacy Policy applies to the collection of personal information from users of the Services, including any updated and new products or services that may be offered in the future by LineforLine. It relates to information we collect from you, including personally identifying information (also referred to as "PII") and information that does not identify you personally. PII may include, for example, some or all of the following: your name, mailing address, email address, telephone number, mobile phone number, passwords, credit/debit card information, user name and password, and demographic information.
YOUR CONSENT TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and subject to our General Terms and Conditions that apply to use of this Site. By using the Services and this Site, you consent to our General Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy, including our use and disclosure of your personal information as stated in this Privacy Policy, whether or not you register with the Site.
INFORMATION COLLECTED AND USED BY LINEFORLINE
When users register with the Site, LineforLine collects user submitted personal information such as name, mailing address, email address, telephone number and age. LineForLine uses that information to authenticate users and to send notifications to users relating to, without limitation, the Services and other opportunities.
As is standard practice on many corporate websites, LineforLine also logs non-personally-identifiable information, including IP address, profile information, aggregate user data, and browser type, from the Site. This data is used to improve the website services, to analyze trends, to administer the Site, to track users' movements around the Site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. LineforLine will not use the information collected to market directly to that person. This non-personally-identifiable information may be shared with third-parties to provide more relevant services and advertisements to users. User IP addresses are recorded for security and monitoring purposes.
In addition, LineforLine uses pixel tags - tiny graphic images - to tell us what parts of the Site have been visited or to measure the effectiveness of searches customers perform on the Site. Pixel tags also enable us to send email messages in a format that customers can read. And they tell us whether emails have been opened to assure that we are only sending messages that are of interest to our users.
User Profile information, including users’ pictures and names, is displayed to people in order to facilitate user interaction in the LineforLine social networking community.
LineforLine may also use a user’s email address to send updates, a newsletter or news regarding the Services. LineforLine may send email messages which use a "click-through URL" linked to content on the Site.

LineforLine tracks this click-through data to help determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our customer communications. If you prefer not to be tracked simply avoid clicking text or graphic links in the email.

It will be clear at the point of collection who is collecting the personal information and whose privacy statement will apply.
LineforLine may also collect information for market research purposes to gain a better understanding of our customers and thus provide more valuable service.

USE OF COOKIES
LineforLine uses cookies to store users' preferences and to record session information, for purposes including: (i) ensuring that visitors are not repeatedly offered the same advertisements, to customize newsletter, advertising, and Web page content based on browser type and user profile information; (ii) to help track usage to help us understand which parts of our website are most popular, where our visitors are going, and how much time they spend there; (iii) to make usage of our website even more rewarding as well as to study the effectiveness of our customer communications, and (iv) to customize each visitor's experience and provide greater convenience.
The cookies may reflect de-identified demographic or other data linked to data you voluntarily have submitted to us, e.g., your email address, which we may share with a data provider solely in hashed, non-human readable form. You may be able to configure your browser to accept or reject all or some cookies, or notify you when a cookie is set -- each browser is different, so check the "Help" menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences -- however, you must enable cookies from LineforLine in order to use most functions on the Site. Please note that LineforLine may allow third party advertisers that are presenting advertisements on some of our pages to set and access their cookies on your computer. Among other things, these third parties may use cookies, pixel tags and other technologies to enable such third parties to record which ads your browser has loaded and which pages you may have been viewing when the ads were delivered or accessed. Advertisers' use of cookies is subject to their own privacy policies, not the LineforLine Privacy Policy.
DO-NOT-TRACK
Our Site does not respond to "do-not-track" settings in users' web browsers at this time. However, there is a way to opt out of interest-based advertising, such as Google's Ad Settings to manage the ads Google serves.
LINKS
This Site contains links to third party websites. LineforLine is not responsible for the privacy policies and/or practices on other sites. When linking to another site, a user should read the privacy policy stated on that site. Our privacy policy only governs information collected on the Site.
CHAT, PROFILES, MESSAGE BOARDS AND PUBLIC FORUMS
Please be aware that whenever you voluntarily post public information to Chat Rooms, Profiles, Message Boards or any other Public Forum, that information can be accessed by the public and can in turn be used by those people to send you unsolicited communications. We are not responsible for the personally information you choose to submit and make publicly available on the Site. Please think before you post any personal information online.
USING SOCIAL FEATURES OF OUR APPLICATIONS
Our social features promote and facilitate interaction among our application users, such as by allowing our users to promote a show or band. In order to protect the application users’ privacy, we will only show you this information if they previously opted in to use the same social feature you are using.
When you use any LineforLine application, or feature at a site not controlled by LineforLine, such as a social networking site ("SNS") like Facebook, that site may allow LineforLine to access to certain information about you. You may also be required to read and accept the SNS’s terms of service and privacy policy. By accessing a LineforLine application through a SNS, you are authorizing LineforLine to collect, store, and use in accordance with this Privacy Policy any and all information that you agreed the SNS could provide to LineforLine through the SNS.
The information you allow LineforLine to access varies by application and SNS, and it is affected by the privacy settings you and your friends establish at the SNS. You can find out more about these settings at the SNS where you access our applications.
If you choose (opt in) to use one of our social features, you may be asked to log into a SNS, such as Facebook, through our application. The SNS may provide LineforLine with the following information:
Your SNS user ID.
Your profile picture or its URL (if available).
The user IDs and profile pictures of the people you are connected to on the SNS, such as your Facebook friends.
Contact information (such as your name and email address).
Demographic information (such as your gender and your date of birth).
Your physical location and that of your access devices.
Other information you provided to the SNS, such as occupation, interests, hobbies, music preferences, biographical information, and potentially any and all information that you agreed the SNS or other party could provide to us when you use our applications.
We link this data to a user ID that LineforLine assigns to you. When a SNS sends us the user IDs and profile pictures of your friends, we check to see which of your friends also have chosen to use the same LineforLine social feature you selected. If your friends have not chosen to use our social features, we do not retain their user IDs or other information about them. If your friends have opted in to use the same social feature you selected, then we link that information to you so that you can enjoy LineforLine’s social features with those friends. We will update the list of friends linked to your user ID each time you log back into our social feature.
While using a LineforLine social feature, you may be able to see your friends’ profile pictures and their most recent use of the feature. Similarly, when your friends are using the feature, they may be able to see your profile picture and your most recent use of the feature. You may be able to invite your friends to join you in a social feature, such as by posting a message to your Facebook wall. You are never required to use LineforLine’s social features in order to use our applications.
CORRECTING/UPDATING OR REMOVING INFORMATION
LineforLine registered users may modify or remove any of the personal information contained in their Profile at any time by logging into their account and accessing features such as Edit Profile and Account Info.
To manage the information LineforLine receives about you from a SNS when you access one of our applications through the SNS, you will need to follow the instructions at that site for updating your information and changing your privacy settings at that SNS’s site. Once LineforLine receives your information from an SNS, that information is stored and used by LineforLine in accordance with this Privacy Policy, and you may access and update that information as described in the above paragraph.
EMAIL CHOICE / OPT OUT
Users who no longer wish to receive promotional messages or updates may choose not to by opting-out. To opt-out, simply log-in to your user Account, and click the appropriate box to disable the notification emails you no longer wish to receive. All notification emails and LineforLine newsletters also include the above instructions for opting-out of those communications in the future. Note that users who have opted-out of promotional messages or updates may still receive email messages from LineforLine where necessary to provide a service you have requested or where necessary to inform you of critical information relating to your use of the Site.
THIRD PARTY ADVERTISING
LineforLine or one of our web-advertising partners may deliver ads appearing on LineforLine to users of our Site. Our web-advertising partners may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement. In this way, ad servers may compile information about where you, or others who are using your computer, saw their advertisements and determine which ads are clicked on. This information allows an ad network to deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers only the use of cookies by LineforLine and does not cover the use of cookies by any third party advertisers. Please be aware, however, that to the extent Google may deliver ads to our website it uses the DART cookie. Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy.
SECURITY
LineforLine user accounts are secured by user-created passwords. LineforLine takes precautions to ensure that account information is kept private. LineforLine uses reasonable measures such as encryption to protect private information that is stored within our database against loss, theft, and misuse, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction, and we restrict access to such private information to those employees who need access to perform their job functions, such as our customer service personnel and technical staff. Among these measures, when you enter sensitive information (such as credit cards) on our order forms, we encrypt the transmission of that information using secure socket layer (SSL) technology, which creates an encrypted connection between you and our systems. Once we collect your credit card or debit card information, it is stored encrypted on restricted-access computers that are not directly accessible via the Internet. Please note that no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, however, and LineforLine cannot guarantee the security of user account information. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors may compromise the security of member information at any time. Users are urged to also take precautions to protect their personal data by changing passwords often using a combination of letters and numbers, and using a secure web browser.
LineforLine integrates third party software that collects information about users for security reasons. Any information collected by reCAPTCHA is held in accordance with the Google Privacy Policy available here.
For any additional information about the security measures LineforLine uses on the Site, please contact us at privacy@lineforline.com.
SHARING AND DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION LINEFORLINE COLLECTS
Except as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, LineforLine will not disclose personal information to any third party unless it believes that disclosure is necessary: (1) to conform to legal requirements or to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other legal process received by LineforLine, whether or not a response is required by applicable law; (2) to enforce the General Terms and Conditions or to protect our rights; or (3) to protect the safety of members of the public and users of the Services. LineforLine reserves the right to transfer personal information to a successor in interest that acquires rights to that information as a result of the sale of LineforLine or substantially all of its assets to that successor in interest. LineforLine takes your privacy very seriously. LineforLine does not sell or rent your contact information to other marketers. To help us provide superior service, your personal information may be shared internally within LineforLine. There are also times when LineforLine may make certain personal information about you available to companies that LineforLine has a strategic relationship with or that perform work for LineforLine to provide products and services to you on our behalf. For example, these companies may help us process information, deliver products to you, manage and enhance customer data, provide customer service, assess your interest in our products and services, or conduct customer research or satisfaction surveys. These companies are also obligated to protect your personal information in accordance with LineforLine’s policies. Without such information being made available, it would be difficult for you to purchase products, have products delivered to you, receive customer service, provide us feedback to improve our products and services, or access certain services, offers, and content on the Site.
We may also share information about you with your SNS contacts when you and they use the same social features of our applications.
PRIVACY OF CHILDREN
This Site and our Services are oriented toward a general audience and intended for adults only. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from those under the age of thirteen (13). If you believe that we have inadvertently collected personally identifiable information from a person under thirteen (13), please contact us so that we can investigate and take any necessary remedial measures.

TopTrademark Policy
Revised as of April 15, 2017
Line for Line Inc. d/b/a lineforline (together with its affiliates, successors, and assigns, hereinafter referred to as “OUR”, “WE”, or “US”) have adopted this Trademark Policy and Trademark Infringement Notification Process (the “Trademark Policy”) to address trademark infringement complaints from site users and third parties
We respect the intellectual property rights of our users and others. This Trademark Policy applies to the website lineforline.com (the “Site”) to address claims of infringement pertaining to trademarks owned or controlled by Site users or third parties
TRADEMARK OVERVIEW A trademark is a word, slogan, symbol or design (such as a brand name or a logo) that identifies and distinguishes the products or services offered by one party from those offered by others. Generally, trademark law seeks to prevent confusion among consumers about the source of products or services. The owner of a trademark may be able to prevent others from using its trademark (or a similar trademark) in a manner that would confuse people into thinking either that there is a relationship between the trademark owner and the unauthorized user or that the trademark owner endorses the unauthorized user’s products or services.
The owner of a trademark may obtain rights through registration with a recognized trademark office. In certain countries and under certain circumstances, rights in an unregistered trademark may be created through actual use of the trademark in commerce. Please note, merely registering with or obtaining a business permit from a government entity may not by itself create trademark rights.
For more information about trademarks, or to find out about registration of trademarks in the United States, please visit the United States Patent and Trademark Office's website. For a list of potentially applicable trademark offices in other countries, please consult the World Intellectual Property Organization's trademark directory.
What is a Trademark Policy Violation on the Site? Use of another user’s, or third party’s, registered standard character trademark, company or business name, or logo in a manner that may mislead or confuse others with regard to its brand or business affiliation may be considered a Trademark Policy violation.
What is Not a Trademark Policy Violation on the Site? Using another's trademark in a way that has nothing to do with the product or service for which the trademark was granted is not a violation of the Trademark Policy. We are also unable to arbitrate trademark disputes between parties where one party claims rights to a word incorporated into a stylized design mark, and where that word is used by another user in a band name.
LineforLine usernames are provided on a first-come, first-served basis and may not be reserved. Unfortunately, if your standard character trademark is not registered with a recognized trademark office and another Site user is using the same, or a similar name, that use is not a violation of the Trademark Policy.
How Does LineforLine Respond To Reported Trademark Policy Violations? When we receive valid reports of Trademark Policy violations from holders of federal or international standard character trademark registrations, we review the reported user account and may take any of the following actions:
When there is a clear intent to mislead others through the unauthorized use of a validly registered trademark, LineforLine will suspend the account and notify the account holder. When we determine that an account appears to be confusing users, but is not purposefully passing itself off as the trademarked good or service, we give the account holder an opportunity to clear up any potential confusion. We may also then release a username for the actual trademark holder's active use. Guidelines Regarding Fan Accounts, Impersonation Accounts, and Cover/Tribute Band Accounts LineforLine provides a platform for its users to share and receive a wide range of content, and we greatly value and respect our users' expression. Because of these principles, we do not actively monitor Site users' content and will not edit or remove user content, except in cases of violations of our General Terms and Conditions, Copyright Policy, Trademark Policy, or Abuse Policy.
LineforLine users are allowed to create fan accounts. However fan accounts should not incorporate any trademark belonging to any third party.
Accounts impersonating another artist, Site user, company or service are strictly prohibited and will be removed without notice to the infringing account. Accounts which use a deceased artist’s name are also prohibited and will be removed without notice.
Cover Bands and Tribute Bands are permitted to create user accounts. However, the profile name and/or user name should not be the trademarked name of any third party and may not include a trademarked name in a misleading manner.
A Cover Band or Tribute Band’s user profile information should make it clear that the account is not actually the artist that is the subject of the Cover Band/Tribute Band account. Here are some suggestions for distinguishing such an account:
The profile name should not be the trademarked name of the subject of the Cover Band/Tribute Band account. Further, the profile name should not be the trademarked name of any third party or include a trademarked name in a misleading manner. The Bio section of the account should include a statement to further distinguish it from the real artist, band, or company, such as “Tribute Account” or "Not affiliated with…" The account should not use a third party’s trademark, logo, copyright-protected image, or other intellectual property without express permission. The account should not, through private or public communication with other users, try to deceive or mislead others about the identity of the account holder. Users may also choose to use different language to indicate that an account is not associated with the actual artist/user/brand/company so long as it is clear and not confusing to others, and does not mislead or deceive
If an account is reported to be confusing, we may request that the account holder make further changes to bring the account in compliance with these best practices.
Trademark Infringement Notification Process Submitting a claim of trademark infringement is a serious matter with potential legal consequences.
Before you submit a claim of trademark infringement to us, you should reach out to the individual posting the content. You may be able to resolve the issue simply by bringing it to their attention.
If you wish to submit a claim of trademark infringement to us, you can do so via this Form. If you are unsure whether the content you are reporting is infringing your legal rights, you may wish to seek legal guidance. We cannot offer advice to you regarding your trademark claim, trademark validity, or trademark rights. If you choose to submit a report, you must include all elements of a complete trademark claim, and must include a link to the allegedly infringing content.
What Information is Required When Reporting Trademark Policy Violations? In order to investigate Trademark Policy violations, your Trademark Infringement Notice must contain all of the following information:
(1) Your full legal name (first, middle, last). (2) Your title. (3) Your full legal address. (4) Your telephone number. (5) Your email address (must be from a company domain if reporting infringement of a third party company trademark). (6) Your Company website (if applicable). (7) Your LineForLine user name (if applicable). (8) Your LineForLine account (if applicable). (9) On whose behalf (yourself, your organization, a client, someone else) are you asserting the trademark right? Note: If you are not the trademark owner, you will be required to provide documentary evidence that you have authority to act on the trademark owner's behalf (i.e., agent's agreement, power of attorney, etc.) sent to us via Facsimile or email. (10) Your trademarked word, symbol, etc. (11) The applicable trademark registration number. (12) The categories of goods and/or services covered by your registration. (13) The trademark registration office (e.g., USPTO). Note: A federal or international trademark registration number for a standard character mark is required. (14) A direct link (URL) leading directly to your trademark registration. (15) Attach a scanned copy of your trademark registration certificate(s) or screen shot of your registration on the website or database of the applicable national or community intellectual property office(s). Please note that we only support the following file formats: JPG, GIF, PNG, TIFF and PDF. (16) A link (URL) leading directly to the specific content you are reporting. (17) Your Company website (if applicable). (18) A description of how you believe this content infringes your trademark. (19) A digital signature or a physical signature. WARNING
When submitting a Trademark Infringement Notice, you must declare under penalty of perjury that all of the information contained in the notice is accurate and that the use of your intellectual property described in the notice, in the manner you have complained of, is not authorized by the rights owner, its agent, or the law. Completed Trademark Infringement Notices may be sent via email, U.S. Mail, or facsimile to:

TopCopyright Policy
Revised as of August 19, 2014
Line for Line Inc. d/b/a lineforline (together with its affiliates, successors, and assigns, hereinafter referred to as “OUR”, “WE”, or “US”) have adopted this Copyright Policy and DMCA Notification Process (the “Copyright Policy”) in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998, including the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act (the “DMCA”).
We respect the intellectual property rights of our users and others, and adhere to the provisions of the DMCA. The Copyright Policy applies to the website www.LineForLine.com (the “Site”) to address claims of infringement pertaining to copyrighted material owned or controlled by a third party.
COPYRIGHT AND CONTENT USAGE FAQ Copyright is a form of legal protection given to authors of original works such as literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, graphic, photographic, software and certain other intellectual works. The copyright owner has the exclusive right to reproduce the work, make new works based on the work, distribute copies, and perform or display the work, during the duration of copyright protection, subject to very limited fair use rights of others to use only such amount as necessary to exercise fair use rights. You should assume all third party content is protected by copyright unless you have determined otherwise with the assistance of legal counsel and you should not rely on fair use except pursuant to advice of legal counsel. You can, however, seek a permission or license to use third party copyright protected content and once obtained will have the right to do so.
POLICY Pursuant to the General Terms and Conditions of the Site each Site user is responsible for ensuring that the materials they upload to the Site do not infringe any third party copyright. Additionally, the General Terms and Conditions prohibit Site users from using the site to infringe the intellectual property rights of any person or entity.
If you are a copyright holder who believes that any of the material(s) on the Site violates your copyright rights, please follow the guidelines and procedures below to provide us with appropriate notice. We will respond to clear written notices alleging infringement that comply with, or substantially comply with, the DMCA and other applicable laws.
We will remove or disable access to allegedly infringing material from the Site upon receipt of a valid DMCA notice as required by the DMCA and will provide the allegedly infringing party with a copy of the DMCA notice alleging infringement. If the party who posted the allegedly infringing information files a valid counter-notification, the materials will be reposted unless you file a claim for relief as further set forth in the DMCA.
All notices must be provided to our Designated Agent in hard copy (e.g., U.S. mail, e-mail, or facsimile) as described below. The Company does not accept notices or counter-notifications under the DMCA submitted by telephone or electronically via Company websites or mobile applications. You may wish to consult with legal counsel to assist you with assessing your claim(s) and understanding your rights and liabilities, including, without limitation, your potential liability for filing a false claim.
We do not act as an arbiter or judge of disputes about intellectual property rights. We do not adjudicate the substance of the copyright claim: we do not declare winners and losers. Your copyright in an item is determined in the real world, by real-world processes including the DMCA. The DMCA process allows users of an online service to resolve copyright disputes using the adjudication systems available in the real world. By disabling access to or removing content, as a prudential matter, we are not endorsing or validating a claim of infringement.
REPEAT INFRINGER POLICY Pursuant to the General Terms and Conditions, if a Site user engages in “repeat infringement” we may terminate the user’s registration and Site account without notice, and the user will no longer be permitted access to the Site or the Services. “Repeat infringement” shall be defined as two (2) or more instances, as determined by us in our reasonable discretion, where a user has infringed the copyright rights of another person. In the event a user’s materials are removed due to a DMCA notice and then subsequently restored due to the filing of a DMCA counter-notification, we will treat the underlying DMCA notice as withdrawn. We reserve the right to terminate Site accounts that are the subject of fewer than two (2) instances of infringement of the copyright rights of another person in appropriate circumstances, such as when the user has a history of violating or willfully disregarding the General Terms and Conditions.
OVERVIEW OF THE DMCA NOTICE PROCESS The DMCA provides a process for a copyright owner to give notification to an online service provider concerning alleged copyright infringement. When a valid DMCA notification is received, the service provider responds under this process by taking down the offending content. Upon taking down content pursuant to the DMCA, the online service provider will take reasonable steps to contact the owner of the removed content so that a counter-notification may be filed. On receiving a valid counter-notification, the online service provider generally restores the content in question, unless it receives notice from the notification provider that a legal action has been filed seeking a court order to restrain the alleged infringer from engaging in the infringing activity.
FILING A DMCA NOTICE TO REMOVE COPYRIGHTED CONTENT – FOR COPYRIGHT HOLDERS If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please provide us with a completed DMCA NOTICE FORM, or a written notice containing the following information:
(1) Your legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address (if any); (2) A description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed, and the name of the owner of the copyrighted work; (3) A description of where on the Site the material that you claim is infringing the copyright may be found, sufficient for us to locate the material (e.g., the URL); (4) A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the copyrighted work is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; (5) A statement by you UNDER PENALTY OF PERJURY that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf; (6) Your electronic or physical signature. Completed DMCA Notice Forms may be submitted to our Designated Agent, identified below, via: U.S. Mail; Email; or Facsimile.
Please note that we may disclose any complete DMCA Notices and any communications concerning DMCA notices or other intellectual property complaints with third parties, including the users who have posted the allegedly infringing material.
FILING A DMCA COUNTER-NOTIFICATION TO RESTORE REMOVED CONTENT — FOR SITE USERS If you believe that your material has been removed by mistake or misidentification, please provide us with a written counter-notification containing all of the following information:
(1) Your legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email (if any); (2) A description of the material that was removed and the location on the Site (e.g., the URL) where it previously appeared; (3) A statement UNDER PENALTY OF PERJURY that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification; (4) A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or if your address is outside of the United States, any judicial district in which we may be found (which includes the United States District Court for the Central District of Los Angeles, California), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original DMCA notice or an agent of that person; (5) Your electronic or physical signature. Completed DMCA counter-notifications may be submitted to our Designated Agent, identified below, via: U.S. Mail; Email; or Facsimile.
Please note that we will send any complete counter-notifications we receive to the person who submitted the original DMCA notice. That person may elect to file a lawsuit against you for copyright infringement. If we do not receive notice that a lawsuit has been filed within ten (10) business days after we provide notice of a counter-notification, we will restore the removed materials. Until that time, the materials will remain removed.

LineforLine does not screen content and does not remove potentially offensive content unless such content violates the Abuse Policy, another applicable policy, or the General Terms and Conditions.
If you believe the content or behavior you are reporting is prohibited in your local jurisdiction, please contact your local authorities so they can accurately assess the content or behavior for possible violations of local law. If LineforLine is contacted directly by law enforcement, we can work with them and provide assistance for their investigation.
TAKE THREATS SERIOUSLY If you believe you are in physical danger, contact the local law enforcement authorities who have the tools to address the issue immediately!
If you decide to work with law enforcement, make sure to do the following:
1. Document the violent or abusive content or messages with print-outs or screenshots; 2. Be as specific as possible about why you are concerned; 3. Provide any context you have around who you believe might be involved, such as evidence of abusive behavior found on other websites; 4. Provide any information regarding previous threats you may have received. You can also report the content to us via our dedicated Abuse email address listed below.
WHEN TO REPORT ABUSE Simply because a user disagrees with or receives unwanted communication, such behavior does not necessarily constitute online abuse. Please utilize your account settings in order to control who can comment on your user profile and/or contact you. Only if two users are mutual fans of each other can they send and receive direct messages to each other. To block another user from sending you direct messages simply log in, go to that user’s profile page, select Fan Settings, and uncheck the box “I want to be a fan of.” To prevent other users from Commenting on your profile, log in, go to Account, Preferences, Comment Settings, and select “Always Block.” You may also browse other user’s profiles anonymously by logging in, going to Account, Preferences, Browsing Settings, and then checking the “Browse Anonymously” box. If a user sees a comment on their profile or receives a message the user does not like, then the user should simply take the above-mentioned steps to end any communication with that user.
Abusive users often lose interest once they realize that you will not respond. If the user in question is a friend, try addressing the issue offline. If you have had a misunderstanding, it may be possible to clear the matter up under different circumstance or with the help of a trusted individual.
If you continue receiving unwanted, targeted and continuous communications, and feel it constitutes online abuse, consider reporting the behavior to us via the dedicated Abuse email address listed below.
If you are a minor, and you know who the person is that is harassing you, please let a parent, teacher, or trusted adult know so they may assist.
REPORTING ABUSE POLICY VIOLATIONS If you see something on the Site that you believe violates the Abuse Policy or the General Terms and Conditions, you should report it to us. Please keep in mind that reporting a piece of content does not guarantee that it will be removed from the site.
It is possible that something could be disagreeable or disturbing to you without meeting the criteria for being removed or blocked. For this reason, we also offer personal controls over comments, and who may contact you.
