The following is "Project Playlist" Copyright notices, which we abide by and believe are legally binding, in other words, if you are the legal owner of the music and/or have a problem with it being played on our website, you should contact us at rockisrighton@gmail.com and or Project Playlist.
Project Playlist Copyright Notices
Project Playlist, Inc. aspires to index and organize the music on the Internet in a responsible and efficient manner, and is therefore committed to copyright protection. Accordingly, our search engine is based upon our growing index of links to music files legally posted on the Internet for promotional or other legal purposes. Our music player allows performance of music files through streaming technology and “in-line linking” of series of hyperlinks. In that way, we make it easy for our users to create a playlist that points to a series of music files hosted on third party websites. We do not control those third party websites. We do not host music files. We do not allow uploading or downloading of music files to projectplaylist.com. We are not a “file sharing” site, peer to peer or otherwise; and we do not support or endorse illegal copying of music.Project Playlist, Inc. pays performance royalties to ASCAP, BMI and SESAC, the three performance rights organizations (“PSO”) based in the Untied States. These three PSOs have reciprocal agreements with PSOs throughout the world. The creators and publishers of the songs you hear through projectplaylist.com or our embedded music player, are being paid a royalty for their work if they are members of ASCAP, BMI or SESAC or any one of over 125 other PSOs that represent songwriters and music publishers around the world. The more a song is included on our users’ playlists, the more royalties the writer and publisher of that song are paid by Project Playlist, Inc.
We respect the choices of performing artists as to when and where they want their music heard. Some performing artists make their music freely available on the web (see by way of example and not limitation: trade-friendly artists, creative commons licenses, and netlabels); others allow you to listen to only a few freely available songs hosted on their own or other authorized sites for promotional purposes; and a few would prefer that none of their music be heard on the web at all. If an artist or the artist’s authorized agent advises us that our search engine is linking to an illegally posted song by providing a legally effective take down notice as described below, we take down the link to that music file in accordance with the law and the procedures discussed below.
To assist artists in promoting their music, the Project Playlist music player also requires that the artist’s name and song be displayed. The search results also provide easy access to the artist’s website. Project Playlist, Inc. promotes the purchase of music by including hyperlinks to iTunes® with its search results, and in most cases, user’s can easily and legally buy the music they find though projectplaylist.com.
Information Concerning Copyright Claims
Project Playlist, Inc. aspires to develop the most complete searchable index of music files legally posted on the Internet for promotional and other legal purposes. Our users are also allowed to post URLs of music files that they discover on the Internet. Our Terms of Use Agreement prohibits a user from posting a link to a music file that the user knows is not posted by the artist, record label, a music blogger or other third party for promotional or other legal uses. We are, however, primarily an information location tool, and we maintain no editorial oversight over the links that our users and search spider add to the search index. It is possible that our users or search spider may link to some music files that infringe the copyright owner’s copyright interest in that file. We do not control the third party sites that host the music files located by our search engine.If you discover that there is a link to an infringing file in our search index, we must rely on the copyright owner to protect the copyright interest by communicating with us. In accord with the law, we will immediately take down the link in response to a properly submitted DMCA Take-Down request.
We urge you as a copyright owner however, to recognize that deleting the link identified on a particular playlist is not sufficient to protect your copyright. The link is not the music file. The link only points to the location of the file on the web. When Project Playlist, Inc. deletes the link, Project Playlist, Inc. does not delete the infringing file, which was posted and is hosted on the Internet by a third party over which Project Playlist, Inc. has no control. We recommend that you use the projectplaylist.com search engine to identify the third party who posted and is hosting the infringing file, and to contact that third party to delete the infringing music file itself from the Internet prior to having us remove the link. Digital Millennium Copyright Act
