dmca & copyright takedown notice

nullhost respects the intellectual property rights of others. as a free, decentralized file hosting and pastebin service ("dumb pipe"), we do not proactively monitor user uploads, but we respond promptly and decisively to valid legal takedown notices from copyright and intellectual property (ip) owners.

what ip owners can do

  1. locate the infringing shortcode: identify the exact nullhost url or alphanumeric id (e.g. http://nullhost.domain/v/8x9a2b1c).
  2. submit a formal request: send a legal takedown email to our designated copyright administrator: [email protected].
  3. 7-day tombstone quarantine: upon receiving a valid notice, our administrators immediately remove the infringing file and impose a strict 7-day tombstone quarantine on the link shortcode, preventing link recycling or re-registration during the dispute window.
