Copyright, Trademark and Rights Policy

Creators keep their rights, and everyone using TCW must respect copyright, trademark, publicity, privacy and performer rights.

Published version

This is the current controlling version (2026-08-11). Earlier acceptance records remain tied to their exact version.

Effective status

This document was approved by Talent Connect World LLC and is effective August 11, 2026. Acceptance is recorded only through an unambiguous account or transaction control tied to this exact version; ordinary browsing, silence, or a preselected choice is not acceptance.

Ownership and permission

TCW does not take ownership of member content. Publishers and sellers must obtain all permissions needed for media, music, samples, artwork, products, brands, locations, collaborators and depicted people. Crediting a source, buying a copy or finding material online does not necessarily grant publishing or commercial rights.

Review and action

TCW may request clarification, restrict material during review, forward relevant portions of a claim to the affected member and remove or disable access when appropriate. TCW will not treat an obviously incomplete or abusive report as proof. Law may require disclosure of a notice or counter-notice, so do not include information unrelated to the claim.

Trademark, likeness and other rights

For trademark, passing-off, publicity, privacy, performer or contract-right claims, identify the right, registration or factual basis; exact content or product; likely confusion or unauthorized use; authority to act; and requested remedy. TCW assesses these claims under applicable law and policy rather than applying the copyright counter-notice process automatically.

Repeat infringement and abuse

TCW may terminate accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances, considering reliable notices, counter-notices, retractions, court outcomes and pattern severity. Knowingly false claims, forged permissions or fraudulent counter-notices may lead to enforcement and legal liability.

Designation launch gate

TCW does not represent that it relies on a U.S. statutory safe harbor unless its designated copyright agent is registered and kept current with the U.S. Copyright Office and matching contact information is published. This page provides TCW's notice process but is not proof of an external registration.
