Anytist, Info

Disclaimer: the following description is intended to aid parties in reaching a good faith solution to copyright problems, and to describe the policy of Anytist in legal matters. The text is in no way intended as legal advice. If you want legal advice, you should contact a lawyer.

First, click on the 'abuse' link next to the content, fill in the form and state that the content violates your copyright. See abuse links for more information on this. Make sure to provide full contact information, preferably email, regular postal mail, and telephone number.

Second, to make absolutely sure your complaint are not lost in transit, also send a regular postal letter to the address in our contact information. Be sure to precisly point out what content are violating your copyright. Again, make sure to provide full contact information, preferably email, regular postal mail, and telephone number.

We will quickly review your complaint. Unless the claim is obviously baseless, we will immediately remove the content and inform the artist who uploaded the content about the problem. In this process we will forward your complaint in its entirety to the artist, including your contact information. However, in interest of protecting artists that wish to remain anonymous, we will not hand out their contact information unless required by Swedish law enforcement (see below).

After this step, it is up to the artist and you what further steps will be taken.

If both parties are happy, since the content is now removed, no further action will be taken from Anytist side.

The parties may negotiate a good faith solution to the issue, e.g. the Artist pays a license fees for samples or similar. If the copyright holder write to us and state that the issue has been resolved, we will put the content back.

Anytist strongly discourage unnessecary legal action, but if it comes to that, this is Anytists policy:

If the artist do not agree with the copyright claim, and file a proper legal complaint under Swedish jurisdiction, Anytist will do what we can to aid the legal procedure. If the copyright claim is found baseless, we will put the content back.

If the copyright holder want to press charges, Anytist will cooperate with the legal procedure. However, we will only hand out contact information and log data for specific artists if we are required to do so by the Swedish law enforcement.

There are certain things that are not allowed on our website. We are grateful if our users alert us to such things. The easiest way to do this is to use the 'Report abuse' link relating to the 'item' that needs to be reported. In case you wish to report an abuse, but cannot find a fitting 'Report abuse'-link, please click here.

Examples of abuse that should be reported:

A song containing copyrighted material not owned by the artist.
A song that is offensive in a non-legal way ('hets mot folkgrupp' etc.)
A band name obviously chosen to be confused with another, more well known band.

Examples of things that are not abuse, and should not be reported:

A song you do not like.
A song that contain a few swear-words or other thing that could be slightly offensive, but not in the sense of being illegal.
A band name that is similar to another generic sounding band name of a not very well known band.

If you feel you have to express dislike with something in the "not abuse" category, you are welcome to whine about it in our community section.
